"Jindal to GOP: Work with Obama"

[Clio the Leo]

Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal urged his party in an interview Tuesday to shift to offering health care solutions instead of just rejecting what President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority in Congress are proposing.


“I think now is the perfect time to pivot and to say, not only here’s what we’re against, and not only here’s how we’re going to contrast ourselves, but here’s what we’re for,” Jindal said in an interview Tuesday with POLITICO.


Jindal acknowledged that the Republican Party for years had been too slow to stake out positions on the health care debate “to our peril and the nation’s peril.”

President Obama to visit New Orleans in mid-October

President Barack Obama will visit New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in mid-October to see first-hand the progress of the recovery from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the White House announced today.

The news of the presidential visit came as Obama signed an executive order Tuesday extending the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Gulf Coast Recovery and Rebuilding for six months, through April 1, 2010. .

POTUS aids the Gulf Coast and also manages to get some support from across the proverbial aisle. And it's not even 8am.

Maybe he'll give poor Bobby some tips on public speaking while he's down there.

1. Jindal is just posturing . . . trying to appear bipartisan . . . NEVER trust a

future candidate for office - they will say ANYTHING to put space between themselves and other candidates. (won't they?)

5. Bobby is getting some money..........

.... so Bobby is paying the piper. ;)

Whatever works. I'll take it.

2. jindal is nothing but an opportunistic prick, in other words, he's a republican

Wow look at all those black people in Orleans Parish who might vote for me. All I have to do is pretend to say nice things about the President. The man is pure fucking evil. And if the time comes we can discuss where he was "born."

3. yup, he is a whore, just wants to get black voters to make up for the racists

who will never vote for him. he did this in his previous elections also.

i hope he gets voted out.

4. So Bobby wants a Mulligan ??

Fat chance.... especially when he (still) can't say out loud what Republicans are truly positively for.

6. "rejecting what President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority in Congress are proposing"

He actually could be talking about the DEMOCRATIC senator from his state also

[Jennicut]

7. Jindal would not take a call from the VP on the stimulus, the only governor who wouldn't

take a call. And he took the money. Loser.

8. Nice try, Bobby.

But your trick won't work.
