    One word.

    Tepid.

    He miossed a golden opportunity. Obama's speech was full of partisan rhetotic, catch phrases and lies.

    He should have taken him on.

    The contrast between the President and Governor Jindal is striking. Jindal did himself no favors. If this is the rising star of the GOP, it may be a quick flame out.

    I heard him say his grand mother was a racist. In his first speech defending Jeremiah Wright, the one that made something crawl up Cris Matthew's leg. He eventually threw his racist pastor of 20 years under the bus when he became a political liability.

    If you want to do a search on all O'bama's campaign speeches then do so. Furthermore, I don't know O'bama personally so I don't hate him. I do hate everything he stands for and what he is doing to the country I love. If that doesn't satisfy you that is tough!

    I agree, I was very impressed with Jindal during the last hurricane. He sowed very good leadership. I disagree with his politics because he believes tax cuts alone are the cure for this economy. However, I believe he is learning there are two sides to every story.

    And I take it you think Jindal had no partisan rhetoric in his response? I don't think I have heard anyone more partisan than this part of his response...

    1. He makes like the only one interested in job creation was the republicans

    2. He waived the Republican trade mark flag of tax cut, tax cut, tax cut...

    3. Somehow the GOP confused their ideology with empowering the people. We are empowered by freedom not tax cuts.

    Of course, he did. The GOP has become a Johnny-One-Note party. Their answer to any problem is - cut taxes - even while they set world records for government borrowing and spending when they were in power during this decade.

    I have to admit, it was the first time I saw Governor Jindal speak. I thought he did rather well. His speech delievered more "hope" than hype.

    Somebody also made a comment about the Republicans trying to match the Democrats. I have noticed this to a degree, but what the focus needs to be on is where they stand on the issues.

    Speaking of Bobby Jindal, if I am not mistaken, he is of Indian descent (from India).

    Piyush Jindal has a Hindu background and was apparently conceived in India and he is an anchor baby.

    Also, since life begins at conception and he was not conceived on U.S. soil or by U.S. citizens, is he qualified to run for president of the United States?

    No more ignorant than the junk that's been spewed forth by some conservatives about President Obama.

    I notice those like the good rev don't mind when it is Obama, but apply the same standards to on of their own and LOOK OUT!

    I hope the GOP does run Piyush Jindal in 2012, it will be another rout for the Democratic Party!

    Constitutional stupidity. To be president, one must be a natural born citizen. IOW if a pregnant Mexican girl is about to give birth, she better swim or wade fast. That's actually what it depends on.

    According to Wikipedia, he was born in Baton Rouge, LA. If he had been born in India & wasn't a nutralized citizen, then he wouldn't be eligible to run for president. The main difference between Hindus & Muslims is that you don't ever hear of Hindu extremists strapping a bomb to themselves blowing things & people up.

    What is behind Hindu-Christian violence
    By Dan Isaacs
    BBC News, Orissa

    Hundreds of families in a remote region of the eastern Indian state of Orissa remain homeless and without support after a wave of violence swept the region last month.

    The minority Christian community in Kandhamal district, many of whom are forest tribal people and low-caste Dalit converts from Hinduism to to Christianity, say they've been targeted by radical Hindu nationalist organisations seeking to put an end to the church and its activities in the region.

    - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7214053.stm

    I wonder if this is what Christians in the United States could expect if Piyush Jindal ever becomes president.
