Excuse me but part the title came form a song I liked in the movie:
'O Brother where art thou.
Gov. Bobby Jindal is back on center stage, as per NPR, he was once a rising star in the Republican ranks, but he lost his footing after a lackluster rebuttal to President Obama's first address to Congress.
I heard this on the radio this AM and could not believe that they think this is a big deal, as Govenor he should be fighting for the people of Louisiana under these terrible circumstances, but to elevate him to "Presidential Nominee" is ridiculous.
Jindal is doing everything possible to make his constituents understand that "Big Government" is too blame for the oil spill mess while at the same time he has his hand out making demands to the Obama administration. Jindal is waging war on the white house and does not want to be seen ineffective as the former Governor during Katrina. His aim is to make sure it appears that the President is the problem.
He is also for more drilling despite the oil spill (his campaign contributors are big oil & gas)-talk about spitting it out of both ends! He is against everything he is for.
Well if he is back on top again he will pose a serious problem to Romney, Huckabee, and Palin. Although, in my opinion he is grandstanding because you cannot want less government and now scream that you want more government at the same time, this is an oxymoron.
"The situation between Jindal and the Obama White House resembles what Len Bahr, former head of the state Office of Coastal Activities, calls "the Katrina dynamic."
Bahr is referring to the ineffective working relationship between then-Gov. Kathleen Blanco, a Democrat, and Republican President George W. Bush in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
"It's to the governor's political interests to make the president look ineffectual, by stalling on permits," Bahr says. "No matter what he hears, he's gung-ho to do this at all costs, and I think that's just a totally unfortunate situation."
Others question Jindal's staunch defense of offshore oil and gas drilling, given that the industry is among his top campaign contributors. But oil and gas also account for one in three jobs in the state and have an estimated $70 billion economic impact. "
