Begala: Memo to Jindal – Dump Rush Limbaugh

Obama is the best president since FDR and has many of the same gifts. I think we're very lucky to have him: he's the right man in the right job at the right time.

Gov. Jindal's speech was standard Republican fare that you could have heard at a Chamber of Commerce dinner in Dayton, Ohio in 1957. Not even he really believes in all that free enterprise stuff, given that he took almost all of the $4 billion the feds offered Louisiana under the stimulus plan. I know, he said it was just awful, but he took his share just like everyone else.

Most Republicans would rather chew glass than admit the ideas of Ronald Reagan and Calvin Coolidge were fundamentally wrong, even though they do the oposite in practice.

another republician wind bag what he meant to say was wheres my money

I can assure you that Mr.Jindal is not going anywhere in politics. He is beating his own drum along with other republicans.

GOP= Governors of Oppression and Poverty.

I am livid about the response from Governor Bobbi Jindal and others in his republican party. One of the poorest states in the union and he is refusing aid. Louisiana has suffered numerous murders literal and emotional from the neglect of this nations politicians ie George W. Bush – Katrina Now this governor wants do the same Ike and Jindil. Neglect his people in there time of need. Inhumane Criminal. Shameful.

This from a man that was likely apart of a “cast system”. From ‘Slum Dog Millionaire’ to ‘Slum Lord Millionaires’. Spending trillion on the war to murder but now wants to be conservative to save lives with a fraction of the funds. Quoting hardships to become assimilated to this country. The scales are tilted for immigrants that come to this country with all benefits in their favor.

NEXT BATTER TWO OUT

Could someone please explain to me how accepting federally subsidized funds specifically directed to extend Unemployment Benefits would result in higher taxes for businesses, as Jindal claims? Because it sounds suspiciously like GOP bullhonkey to me.

Politics aside, anybody else see anything that could be construed as racist in Begala's comments?

Hint: first sentence

Seems there are 2 sides. Those that want the government to do whatever it takes no matter the cost of money or true freedom to fix all problems, the social democrat Swedish model. The other side wants the exact opposite. … Citizens say they like and want true freedom. But in reality, they want the government intervention in anything that affects them. Understand you really can’t have it both ways. You may think you can. But that is not true. I will not even bother to debate the case. I will let the next few years prove my point.

I was born when Herbert Hoover was the President in 1930..FDR was a breath of fresh air just like Ores. Obama will be..sadly the people from NYState voted for H Hoover instead of Al Smith the Gov of NY State....they did not like the idea that Gov Smith was a Catholic & an Italian..what a mistake ...& all of us suffered for it....better days are coming..we pray, Mr. King ...

I am proud to call Gov. Jindal, my Governor
As a Republican I am so pleased with the rebuttal he gave to the Presidential address. He clearly explained the differences between Republican ideals and those of Democrats
Can't wait till Jindal is President.

Please tell Mr. Jingle and all the other Republicans, including Mr. Limbaugh, that right now it's more important for me to be able keep my job so I can feed, clothe and house my children to KEEP them safe and ALIVE than worry about how to pay off the Nation's debt, which by the way, was accrued under a Republican President. Thank You. Cathy B.

Simply unbelievable to me but then again it doesn't really come as too much of a shocker I am however embarrased for the gop and I'm not even a rep he strived me as a perrson who's been advised to start auditioning now for the seat of the next usa president the first thing he did tonight is compare his orating skills to that of obama my advise to him is be himself because right noiw I can tell he has an agenda of his very own it doesn't en include thoe chiildren and grands you mentiined honight

I don't believe this guy is trying to focus his attention on running for the next presidency, first of all i'm from New Orleans and we're in the same condition as before with the corrupt politicians. Jindal has done nothing for New Orleans and nothing for the State, Why in da name of Jesus would Jindal refuse any federal assistance after Katrina the city of New Orleans is still in desperate need of health care assistance and his only concern is PR for the next presidency you will be eaten alive>Jindal why don't you use some of the stimulus to fix la, healthcare and New Orleans Public Schools in which is dire straights

When you are drowning and at the bottom of the canyon, it's not the time to talk "philosophical differenes" A-LA- JINDAL; but time to "pull up your boot sraps" and give use credit at lower APR's not "29%" , adjustable ever increasing rates.etc. Yes, bail outs and less "philsophical" rhetoric" a la Jindal and republican talk, talk. ....Will it end? Yes Just as it did after Roosevelt's era; but only to be screwed up by Republican de-regulation.
CUT OUT THE EARMARKS. WHAT ABOUT A LIST OF THE EARMARKS OF REPUBLICZANS AND DEMOCRATS OF THE SENATE. LET ALL SENATORS LIST THEIR OWN "PORK" AND LET'S SEE WHO'S SPENDING THE MOST "PORK" ; THIS WOULD BE SOME REAL "TRANSPARENCY." i'LL BET THE REPUBLICANS JUST HAVE THE MOST AND JUST HIDE IT BETTER BY TAXING THE POOR WORKER.
