Meet the real Bobby Jindal as the GOP reclaims its core

Bobby Jindal is a rare politician—his story is America’s story. Unfortunately his response to President Barack Obama’s not-a-state-of-the-union-address to the joint Congress Tuesday was not representative of Bobby Jindal. His delivery was representative of over-eager coaching. I keep saying this and I hope somehow he’ll read it: be yourself. He did exactly that when CBS pundit Meredith Vieira interviewed him on The Today Show Wednesday. Watch the video below and compare this to his canned speech Tuesday night. Already the leftistas and some in the establishment media are attacking Jindal—Google lists the attacks at the top of a search return on Jindal’s name. Google hearts Democrats. But why are we already seeing attacks on a successful governor who isn’t at the moment running for office?

Jindal represents a Republican core that many call the ‘fiscons’, and I count myself among those. He’s increased jobs in Louisiana, despite another mistake by our vice-president Joe Biden who claimed jobs fell in that state. Jindal has cut taxes and worked with both parties for the benefit of his challenged state. He also ignored federal red tape during rescue operations after Katrina, standing with a local sheriff who told the feds to arrest him if they wanted to. The sheriff had lined up people with boats to help in the rescue; the feds from FEMA asked (naturally) for paperwork, credentials and who knows what else. Other than burning our money, the federal government is unrivaled in creating paperwork.

Establishment media keeps hands off liberal Dems
I believe Jindal brings a scowl to the brows of all those pseudo-intellectuals who adore any position based on a Utopia that hasn’t existed since the Garden of Eden. Jindal’s academic credits are daunting. His story is America-centric. So watch for the attacks to commence, just as they do for any Republican candidate that represents a threat to the big government mentality that rules Washington today.

When was the last time you ever saw media diss a Democratic response? Here’s one below, from none other than Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) He’s all over the place, talking about movies and how we’ll get our taxpayer money back. And as we now know, it cost us more for all that “oversight” when they took a little more time with the stimulus aka recovery package. And Frank got his facts wrong. The most sweeping deregulation occurred under none other than President Bill Clinton. Clinton admitted that publicly.

Do Dems dislike traditional marriages?
When Obama rolls back the tax changes Bush made, if you’re married you will pay more in taxes—a return of the “marriage penalty” Bush finally convinced Congress to rescind. And if you think the government can get all the bucks it needs from that “rich” 2 percent of taxpayers who work their tails off to run their businesses and make more than $250,000 a year, think again. I don’t make that much, by the way. But I don’t have class envy either. Read the article in The Wall Street Journal and learn how Democratic politics and taxes go hand in hand.

More attacks will come
Jindal represents a threat to the Democratic Party candidate in the next election. Watch for more attacks to come courtesy of the establishment media, an industry that leans left as a matter of protocol and will never ask the hard questions of the party that controls Washington at present. Had they asked those hard questions, the vote might have been different in the last election.

The so-called “recovery” bill is nothing more than the result of an opportunistic party pushing earmarks through in the name of salvation. The Democrats are acting in the same manner they accused the Republicans of acting when, for a scant 12 of 54 years, the GOP controlled Congress. Don’t buy for a minute that we’re not paying for the 42+ years the Democratic Party has maneuvered this nation.
