Financial Times - Quotes From Bobby Jindal - Defending Lousiana's Coast Unlike Obama!

[TomCADem]

I am so glad that so many DUers are looking beyond politics and accepting Jindal's words at face value that he is genuinely willing to stand up to the oil companies unlike the federal government. Why, here is Jindal taking a hardline on offshore drilling . . .supporting it.

The Governor of oil-rich Louisiana, Bobby Jindal, welcomed Bush's announcement.

"Louisiana produces 30 percent to 40 percent of the nation's oil and gas off our coast. It is certainly good for our economy ... It is also good for the nation," he told Fox News.

"We're sending tens of billions of dollars overseas, often to countries who are not friendly to us ... this is one of the reasons we've got such a large trade deficit," the Indian-American governor said.

Critics of lifting the drilling moratorium say it would jeopardize the environment and that production would take years to get up and running, and thus is not a realistic answer to the current supply crunch.

The coastal people are all together on this. If Jindal was stupid in 2008 he's had a wake-up call.
