Bobby Jindal's Response to Obama's Address, Pt2

[beta447]

This guy is like an Orwellian teenager trying and failing to complete a project for his Marketing 101 class at one of the colleges whose budget he just slashed.

[SexSteakSoda]

The Republican party needs to go back to its REAL base, which is fiscal discipline, less government, and especially, individual liberty.

Telling a woman that the State, and not she, owns and controls her body, telling people who they should love/marry, telling people that they have no right to assisted self-euthanasia, or that they must "read and accept the bible", is the exact opposite of freedom and liberty.

[prodigalceltic]

This guy sucks. The GOP is a joke nowdays due to neo-cons. Pathetic,

[RaleighDawlishRaynar]

Oh. And I was going to be so nice to the USA.

[AfriSynergy]

As long as Reid and Pelosi are leading, Democrats have more to be concerned about than the Republicans. The Republicans plan to capitalize off of their mistakes. Reid and other Democrats are making a huge mistake to entertain any steps to remove Roland Burris, the only Black person, from the US Senate.

[ESCOXTC]

Michael Steele. Rush Limbaugh. Bobby Jindal. Boy is the Republican party is in a sad state of affairs. I'm so giddy.

[RaleighDawlishRaynar]

I gave it my best shot. The above video is very VERY unconvincing.

Sorry, Bobby.

begat hey shunt - call yourself a feminist

= beechholme USA gauntlets - sniffily arty

[ctoff2]

Jindle is all talk and no action. What plan do the Republicans have other then, "the Democrats are wrong!" At least there working to fix the problem.

American can not live on the coat tails of yesterday. Yes, we prevailed over all those adversities, but it doesn't make us the best country today. America is not number one in the world today.

As Bill Marher said, "If your number 58 on one list and number 73 on another, you look stupid waving the big number 1 sign."

[oakeysmokey]

Seriously. Why don't the Repubs just have Rush L. and Sean Hannity as the 2012 ticket.

At least they know how to talk shit.

[lovecraft4780]

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with this speech. He's laying it all out plainly and with sobriety instead of telling everyone what they want to hear.

[leavinid]

Can you Define Socialism please so we understand your point?

..and what Obamas actions are THAT socialists in order to commit suicide instead of living such a disgrace?

btw so you preffer bush actions instead of obamas right?

[RaleighDawlishRaynar]

We believe.........

Wouldn't it be nice if political talking heads could actually - well - talk to their constituencies instead of just trotting out platitude after platitude?

................can do anything.

Except talk, perhaps.

[saksjn]

Republicans want to stop Obama's plan for a simple reason: socialism is not the way to go! We've seen so many nations fall under that system and we refuse to go down our selves. I would rather die than be a socialist

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood a beautiful day in the neighborhood would you by my neighbor (Hello Neighbor)

[4getwhatuheard]

No American Should Worry About Losing Their Health Care.........Wait for it ,Wait for it.....  Period....

I like Bobby Jindal I said he should have ran for President but now since he came out with this response I was like what was I thinking but he is better than those other snootty people what you call them OH Yeah Republicans

[RaleighDawlishRaynar]

Do anything. Can = Too many options

but I like = Yachting Donna

[leavinid]

Republicans are doing everything in their hands to destroy Obamas Plan (Bad Lobby). Republicans dont really care about people, about the USA, They only care about getting back Power and make their own version of Politics and life for US people.

Look at forums and everywhere, Republicans are trying to take away confidence in Obamas Actions. The Truth is if we take in consideration what Republicans would be doing if in Presidency they would be destroying all.

[AfriSynergy]

Well said.

[iPodlover317]

now he sounds like a motivational speaker

[AfriSynergy]

....and we know the dead or those in a coma cannot be motivated.

[iPodlover317]

hahah nice

[xerocada]

At this time, Americans don't make health decisions in consultation with their doctors, they fight with insurance company clerks to get the coverage their physicians recommend for them.

[oboshredder2]

Obama talks for all people , Bobby Jinal seems like he is only talking to a certain group of people .... hardcore REPUBLICANS

[AfriSynergy]

Yes, you're correct. He don't want to piss off Rush Limbaugh.

[07liberian]

Remember The Barack Obama Response To President Bush's Final State Of The Union Address ? Jindal Should've Taken Notes. LOL !!!

The Tone In Obama's Voice Was Like FUCK BUSH. That's How You Address A Shitty President. Not Saying Obama Is Shitty Or Anything, But You Know !!!

[seanwain]

Impeach Obama

[EXpressDTruth]

What a SNOOZEfest!!!

[boomachine1]

the end of republicans.

jindal is no match for obama

[offsprng46]

EPIC FAIL.

[dblieber]

He's counting on me to strengthen the country? I can't build roads, give teachers & police pay raises, protect our water supply, stop foreclosures--who does he think I am?

[seanwain]

It is because of slackers like yourself this country is in suck bad shape!

[leavinid]

Nope, I dont see anything wrong with skin colors nor obamas nor bobbys at all. about michelles I think it was well chosen according to the occasion not marshmallow but yes high school prom nigh. Abraham also carried out his own stile (personal culture).

Wearing or sorrounding yourself with iconic symbols doesnt make you a true man, its the other way around, your price as a true man is what makes icons to have its symbolic status through time and for the future.Symbols is hard work of true men

[Shanshou4]

I hope he and Ron Paul gets together next election and fuck up Obama

[birdman026]

LOL Fuck yes I agree 100%

[eyeDfy]

A TRUE CHRISTIAN™ man!

[leavinid]

The flag at the right just how it is there looks like a TERRORIST FLAG

His Tie looks like those Old BarberSshop Spinning things , or perhaps a Xtmas candy.

And his mouth has a weird Emo Feeling in it.

A total Clown !!!!

Ps; Good Exercise Bobby, keep it up !!!!

[GodandbabyJesus]

@leavinid, you seem very intelligent. You've made some really great points. Let me guess, democrat?

[leavinid]

lol lol lol what you actually "cant" tell whats my political tendency out of my great points down there.? let guess you are republicant " !!! lol xd

seriously Im not interested in politics, really.

[okwiater]

Your comment is just as ignorant and discriminatory as saying "President Obama's skin is a weird shade of brown. And his wife's dress on Inauguration night looked like a big misshapen marshmallow." Perhaps you'd like to comment on Abraham Lincoln as well, since he was so funny looking?

[china1fan]

Suggestion: switch to decaf before the speech next time.

[ESCOXTC]

Well gosh darn it! I'm Indian and my name is Bobby and I talk like a good old boy gosh darn it.

[mensadogblack]

hello,my name is bobby jindal and I'll be the next voice for spongebob squarepants

[ADEAL416]

This guy is a TERRIBLE speaker!! Now maybe he was just more nervous than usual having to rebut the greatest speaker in American politics since JFK, and I haven't heard him speak in any other contexts, so maybe he's normally better than this, but if this is vintage Jindal, the Repubs better get him out of the spotlight and FAST!!! I could barely pay attention to what he was saying because his manner of delivery was so awful.

[mensadogblack]

a republican just told me a few mins ago "Whoever is doing the audio is an Obama plant"

[c1magr8]

nirvana6722 .... If you think jindal was good ... you must have been smoking some HEAVY DUTY WEED! Get REAL!

[c1magr8]

HMMMMMMM .... as I recall .... who was the president when the FAT CATS on Wall street were CRYING THE FUCKING BLUES & BEGGING LIKE PUSSIES for the Hard Working Middle Class to BAIL them out??? Let's see now .... Oh Yeah! That would be the REPUBLICAN RETARDS & PRESIDENT bush who just wanted to give them a BIG HAND OUT with NO QUESTIONS asked! You REPUBLICAN MORONS are not only DUMB AS ALL HELL, you're TOTAL HYPOCRITS as well!

[c1magr8]

YAWN! Isn't this just like the DUMB ASS REPUBLICAN RETARDS to put this TOTAL BORING FUCK UP on to speak after Obama! The REPUBLICAN RETARDS CANNOT seem to get it through their PEA SIZED BRAINS that their hero bush, is the reason we have a FUCKED UP ECONOMY & a FUCKED UP COUNTRY! These MORONS ran the WHOLE SHOW for 6 years (2000-2006) & now look at our mess! Face it, you REPUBLICAN RETARDS are nothing but THIRD RATE FUCK UPS! Now SHUT UP & give Obama a chance to fix the mess you IDIOTS gave us!

[bomshizzle]

Well said LOL Well fuckin said. Bobby Jindal needs a couple puppets and some playtime music to go along with that bullshit kindergarten speech.

[c1magr8]

bomshizzle ... the only GOOD REPUBLICAN is one who has his ASS KICKED OUT OF OFFICE! The FUCK UPS SIMPLY "DO NOT FUCKING GET IT"! ALL the republicans are as DUMB as a PILE OF DOGSHIT!

[hitobito1]

This funny looking guy is just awful! Where did they find him? The slums of New Orleans. Compared to the President, he is pathetic, inarticulate, and comes off as a dope! This guy should retire and return to his parent's homeland.

[christiv3]

"Republicans went along with earmarks and big spending"...

So he's trying to blame earmarks and big spending on the Democrats? Did he hear that Sen. Stevens (R-AK) is the longtime king of the earmarks and that the biggest spending project has been the Iraq war which was run without any kind of oversight...

He's so weak and so so wrong...

[Odelay88]

I'm not sure you listened to the same speech that I did. He placed the blame on both Democrats and Republicans.

[tutommy85]

"Americans can do anything." Okay, I'll take that to the bank. The GOP is out of ideas.

[afireinside945]

Actually, that isn't true. There is research upon research on that that differs in reference to the education of different party followers.. As far as being unintelligent. let's talk about how general liberal economic ideas completely ignore actually "demonstrable" fact. I don't know if you majored in economics... but I have. I figure Jindal should run in '12. Why not? Obama won cause he is half black, why not an Indian? Further, he is actually qualified...

[DrivinWest]

"The way to strengthen our country is to restrain spending in Washington."

Just like the last 8 years of Republican leadership... At least he admits it.

[SullenMorbius]

LOL! This is almost sad to watch. The guy's trying to speak w/a southern accent.

[Odelay88]

He was born and raised in Baton Rouge...

[publicgood]

Doctors and patients should make the decisions, Mr. Jindal? What about the insurance companies? Don't you know that they are actually the ones deciding which decisions are allowed to be made?

[sheknowsprose]

I am not a republican or democrat (because I'm not an idiot, thanks.). Obama's speech was good. I don't think he really said anything of value, but he spoke well- a nice reprieve from the idiocy of Bush, that's for sure.  Jindal speaks well, too. He connects to his audience well. I personally like him better than Obama. However, I don't think EITHER one is really anything different- we need to start over, truthfully. Third party, pleasssse!!

[lenegal77]

ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. The worst speech ever.  He would be kicked out of a college speech class.

[barrlawrence]

Which do you want, oratory or truth?

[Odelay88]

You're right, not enough "Hope," "Change," and "yes we can!" That's the important stuff, right?

[MrFisher2048]

The GOP was founded 1854 you moron. The actual speech was very good apparently Mr. Mathews and Ms. Maddow watched something else.

[meyerjak]

He's supposed to be the "rising star" of the GOP??

That was terrible.

[surfer390111]

Was that a joke?

He's campaigning for 2012.

Thank god for Obama.

[ryratt]

Lowercase g on God and proper casing on Obama.... Interesting... Freudian Slip?

[notashot]

Judging a politician by how he sounds instead of what he says seems to be a tragically American trait these days.

He's a great leader. That being said, it's surprising how much an Indian-American can sound like the sheriff of Mayberry.

[jaktigmidblinx]

RIP REPUBLICAN PARTY 1880-2009.

[theoko0707]

I think this response was part of the GOP's outreach to children under 8. Build the base!

[ryratt]

Children under 8 could vote more intelligently than the average liberal.

[surfer390111]

LiCk My bAlLs.

[ryratt]

Present them.

[DrivinWest]

Those are bold words coming from a supporter of the party that almost exclusively represents the un- and undereducated population of this country.

Voting Republican is inversely related to education level, and that is a demonstrable fact.

[jeffmatthew1]

Fail

[757330]

Right on, ddveselka.

It's sickening seeing hard working Americans continuously losing more and more of what they EARN. Punishing success is about as ass backwards as it gets.

Change? Give me a break with that bland, meaningless rhetoric. More and more people just want freebies and handouts without putting in hard work.

[ddveselka]

Wow... all the liberal wack jobs need to do a little research about the entire country and not just a war from Bush. Obama will wreck this country, but its ok, because its "CHANGE". Keep your change and stay out of my life. All you lazy idiots, need to go out and do what you have to do to survive, not rely on the govt. to save your pathetic excuse of a life. Keep out the illegals, have a bad ass military, and keep the taxes low. I hate busting my ass everyday so someone can live off my dime

[bouckt111777]

amen

[sbalusu94]

@ddveselka "have a bad ass military" wow what an irresponsible thing to say. "Keep taxes low" for who? Middle class people have gotten tax breaks under obama. The RICH are the only ones that Obama tries to tax more. If you're not rich, why the hell are you so scared of the new tax policies that he wants to put forth?

[billfirn06]

Here's the deal:

Fact:

When taxes are cut, revenue to the federal government increases.

That being said, we know that congress can't be trusted to manage our money. Republican and Democrats are both guilty. If we keep voting the same people to congress, we deserve what we get. Everyone needs to look at their senators and congressmen and determine how THEY are getting rich out of their "service" to our country. They need to stay at home and vote via the internet and get out of DC.

[pipermen22]

This is worst than McCain's green screen speech.

[mccannbox]

Bobby Jindal 2012.. All we have to do is survive the next 4 yrs. I bet Obama sets a new record..first President to quit the oval office...

[12er5t7y]

does this guy think he is addressing 11 year olds? The GOP has clearly has nothing but contempt for Americans, and think they are morons.

[mgallant01]

The fact Obama won would seem to support your view huh?

[davepu92]

epic fail

[concorde9615]

If this is the best the Republicans got, the dems will be in power for a long time! I guess the republicans just don't get it. They are so out of touch with the American it's rediculous.

[sickleman5]

The GOP has been under Bush for too long.  This simplistic, condescending speaking approach is so passe.

[goaliemelvin]

Heaven help us when citizens put their nation's future in the hands of the leader they find most "entertaining".

Ideas have consequences

We have a duty to elect the person with the best ideas for the good of the nation, not the one we find most rhetorically engaging. Whoever that may be is up to each person, but shame on the one who chooses to be governed by a leader who has spent years POLISHING HIS POLISH rather than polishing his character and ideas.

Listen like an adult, not a child

[lwriv7]

Welcome to the world of television. This is the direction we've been moving since the Nixon-Kennedy debates where the people who heard on the radio thought Nixon killed him, and the ones who watched on TV thought Kennedy won.

I thought Jindal's delivery did get better as he went along, but he does have to work on it a lot if he wants to be more than Governor of LA. Its sad but true.

[vford43]

OMG! Jindal speech was a hot mess! It was terrible, there was very little news coverage on his speech. He and his speech was weird and creepy.

[malucao255]

Very condescending! wow... :S

[barbarbarbar2]

Boring weak speech... Nothing worthy of my attention

[tatterblossom]

he speaks in little 'sound bites', with a sing-song cadence, like he's talking to children! how condescending!
