Bobby Jindal - the star of the GOP that fizzled on national and international stage!

[Susuviri]

Naomba niwasilishe CV ya Indian (from India) American governor of Louisiana - BOBBY JINDAL.

Piyush "Bobby" Jindal (born June 10, 1971) is the current Governor of the U.S. state of Louisiana.[1] Prior to his election as governor, he was a member of the United States House of Representatives from Louisiana's 1st congressional district, to which he was elected in 2004 to succeed current U.S. Senator David Vitter. Jindal was re-elected to Congress in the 2006 election with 88 percent of the vote.

On October 20, 2007, Jindal was elected governor of Louisiana, winning a four-way race with 54% of the vote. At age 36, Jindal became the youngest current governor in the United States. He also became the first person not of European ethnicity to serve as governor of Louisiana since P. B. S. Pinchback during Reconstruction; the fifth person not of European ethnicity elected governor of a state following Reconstruction and the first Indian American elected to state-wide office in U.S. history. Jindal has been mentioned as a potential candidate in the 2012 United States presidential election.[2]

Piyush Jindal (pronounced /ˈdʒɪndəl/) was born on June 10, 1971 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Punjabi Indian immigrants Amar and Raj Jindal, who had recently arrived for Amar to attend graduate school at Louisiana State University.[1] His father, Amar, left India and his ancestral family village of Khanpura in 1970 and his parents took their citizenship oaths later that year to become naturalized citizens.[3] His mother, Raj, is an information technology director for the Louisiana Department of Labor.[4] According to family lore, Jindal chose to re-name himself "Bobby" inspired by the sitcom character Bobby Brady after watching The Brady Bunch television series at the age of four. He has been known by his self-adopted nickname ever since—as a civil servant, politician, student, and writer—though legally his name remains Piyush Jindal.[5]

Jindal was born and raised a Hindu, but converted to Catholicism in high school.[6]

For more than a week, all major publications, including online ezines were oozing with praise that Jindal is the GOP's Obama, he is the star, the hope of the Republican party.... and tonight was supposed to be his big night as he gave the GOP's rebuttal to Obama's Address to the Congress..... you can see the entire speech on YouTube just google it but I would like to put here the pundits reaction which were unfortunately not favorable at all. This included some cutting remarks from the right wing, conservative Fox News where pundits who were talking adoringly of Jindal, suddenly realized that JIndal does not have the charm, the skills and the personality to make it on national and international level

ov. Bobby Jindal's task tonight, to rebut President Obama's first address to a joint session of Congress, was a thankless one. But it still constituted an opportunity for the Louisiana Republican to show that he could handle the national spotlight, present himself as a fresh face of the Republican Party, and stand up to the current president oratorically.

On each of these three hurdles, he came up short. Both Democrats and Republicans alike panned Jindal's rebuttal in terms that were decidedly harsh: "amateurish," "laughable" and, most commonly, "a missed opportunity."

"After watching Jindal," one Democratic strategist emailed, "I'd pay a lot of money to be back watching a Palin speech."

"Awkward with capital A," emailed another.

The punditry was equally brutal. Part of the problem was the crux of Jindal's address, which consisted almost entirely of red meat for conservatives. The Governor offered criticism for anything other than tax cuts and ridiculed government spending for items that are either widely supported -- "$8 billion for high-speed rail" -- or seemingly essential -- "$140 million for something called 'volcano monitoring'" (isn't Louisiana Exhibit A in the need for natural disaster warning?).

"You know, I think Bobby Jindal is a very promising politician," said New York Times columnist David Brooks, appearing on PBS, "and I oppose the stimulus because I thought it was poorly drafted. But to come up at this moment in history with a stale "government is the problem," "we can't trust the federal government" -- it's just a disaster for the Republican Party. The country is in a panic right now. They may not like the way the Democrats have passed the stimulus bill, but that idea ... that government is going to have no role, the federal government has no role in this ... it's just a form of nihilism. It's just not where the country is, it's not where the future of the country is. There's an intra-Republican debate."

And yet, much of the critique of Jindal's address focused on his hokey, folksy, seemingly-forced tone and vernacular. The Governor, who has never held court on the national stage before -- remember, his speech at the Republican convention was called off after Hurricane Gustav made landfall -- showed a bit of wetness behind the ears. And the commentators let him have it, even on Fox News.

BRIT HUME: "The speech read a lot better than it sounded. This was not Bobby Jindal's greatest oratorical moment."

NINA EASTON: "The delivery was not exactly terrific."

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: "Jindal didn't have a chance. He follows Obama, who in making speeches, is in a league of his own. He's in a Reagan-esque league. ... [Jindal] tried the best he could."

JUAN WILLIAMS: "It came off as amateurish, and even the tempo in which he spoke was sing-songy. He was telling stories that seemed very simplistic and almost childish.

All said, the speech was received with disappointment by conservatives who have looked to the Governor as the Republican Party's next star. Jindal's background and resume -- he was raised by Indian-immigrant parents and has an undisputed intellect -- seem, at least superficially, like key pillars upon which to forge a new kind of GOP candidacy.

Poor Piyush! Well he has 4 years to practice... 😀

 

[The Truth]

I would rather have the man with proven leadership qualities and mediocre speech delivery skills (Jindal) rather than an empty suit who can eloquently read a teleprompter and practices Bantunomics (Obantu). To Bantus it may be different since the average IQ is low, but to everyone else I think it is obvious. I need substance, I need results no fancy speeches written by your handlers. That sums up Obantu!

Piyush does not have any "proven leadership qualities" he is more wet between the ears than Obama and not only is he unable to get the right people to write him the speech (he thinks he can do everything himself -- hmmm not a sign of intelligence, sorry!)
And to show how 'intelligent' Piyush is read this

Jindal supports the teaching of "intelligent design" in public schools. Despite calls for a veto from groups as diverse as the the Roman Catholic Church, the ACLU, the National Review, and Jindal's own biology professors at Brown University.[54] Jindal signed the Louisiana Academic Freedom Act in 2008.


On June 25, 2008, Jindal signed the "Sex Offender Chemical Castration Bill", authorizing the chemical castration of those convicted of certain sex offenses.[55]

My God! This guy is medevial thinking! What intelligent person believes in intelligent design (the irony of it! to name hocuspocus theories 'intelligent' is not only an oxymoron but sacrilege!)
This guy is very dull and has low IQ, pole!!

 

[Susuviri]

I am speechless.... Piyush is clueless!! Yaani anataja watu bila fact checking, au....?

In his response to Barack Obama tonight, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal spoke glowingly of the late Jefferson Parish Sheriff Harry Lee.

It was a curious, even provocative choice: Lee, a colorful 300-lb. Chinese-American lawman was repeatedly accused of racially profiling blacks in the predominantly white parish he dominated prior to his death in Oct. 2007.
Jindal:

During Katrina, I visited Sheriff Harry Lee, a Democrat and a good friend of mine. When I walked into his makeshift office I'd never seen him so angry. He was yelling into the phone: 'Well, I'm the Sheriff and if you don't like it you can come and arrest me!' I asked him: 'Sheriff, what's got you so mad?' He told me that he had put out a call for volunteers to come with their boats to rescue people who were trapped on their rooftops by the floodwaters. The boats were all lined up ready to go - when some bureaucrat showed up and told them they couldn't go out on the water unless they had proof of insurance and registration. I told him, 'Sheriff, that's ridiculous.' And before I knew it, he was yelling into the phone: 'Congressman Jindal is here, and he says you can come and arrest him too!' Harry just told the boaters to ignore the bureaucrats and start rescuing people.

In the wake of Katrina, Lee grabbed national headlines by suggesting his deputies could randomly stop blacks to combat a rise in drug crimes caused by the displacement of low-income New Orleans residents.

He later abandoned the idea -- but never apologized.

In an earlier incident, Lee sparked a firestorm by ordering his force to arbitrarily stop "young blacks in rinky-dink cars" driving in white neighborhoods, according to The Associated Press. He backed off that plan, calling it a mistake after the NAACP called on him to resign.

Shortly before his death, Lee stoked controversy again, telling a TV reporter: "We know the crime is in the black community. Why should I waste time in the white community?"
What a charmer this Lee was! Maybe they shared similar views with Piyush Jindal?

Not a single thing you said in your incoherent post disprove what I said about Bobby Jindal. Let me explain this to you,

1) Bobby Jindal has been successfully running a state as a Governor. The economy of his state reflects that. That's proven leadership. Obantu has accomplished nothing in his life prior to running for president. And as a president he has been abysmal by any measures especially his Bantunomics.

2) Bobby Jindal prepared and managed his state through a natural disaster i.e. hurricane. That's proven leadership. I can't say the same for Obantu. He didn't show leadership as president during recent ice storm disaster in Kentucky. What's amazing is Obantu critisized Bush for his response to Katrina.

As far as intelligence between Bobby Jindal and Obantu, it is not even close. Not even in the same league. I think a fair comparison of intelligence would be between Obantu and other Bantu leaders throughout Africa. But not with a Rhodes scholar such as Jindal.

As far as his alleged belief in intelligent design, how is that different from any other beliefs of unknowns? I am sure an aethiest could question religious folks about their belief in God. I don't care either way really and wouldn't affect how I look at Jindal.

Ha ha ha ha Thanks Susuviri!! Mbaya zaidi huyo anamyesagia Jindal, Brit Hume ni Republican mwenzake. Jindal hana chake Republicans watamficha haraka iwezekanavyo kwa jinsi alivyobofoa jana. Kuna Republican mwingine alikuwa CNN jana usiku alipoulizwa kuhusu hotuba ya Jindal alijibu, "This was a very good night for Sarah Palin."

Boehner Sympathizes with Jindal

February 25, 2009 1:44 PM

ABC News' Teddy Davis reports:

House Republican Leader John Boehner sympathized with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, 37, on Wednesday after he was widely panned for the delivery of the GOP response to President Barack Obama's Tuesday speech to Congress.

"I thought the message in his speech was very good. Clearly anyone in that situation is going to find themselves in a very difficult situation following the President," said Boehner. "The President is a very good communicator. But I thought the message contained was very good."

Boehner addressed Jindal's "very difficult situation" at a Wednesday lunch with reporters sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor in Washington, D.C.

Jindal, who has been touted as the Republican Party's version of Obama, was tapped for his high-profile speaking role earlier this month by Boehner and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.

"Gov. Jindal embodies what I have long said: The Republican Party must not be simply the party of 'opposition,' but the party of better solutions," Boehner said in a Feb. 11 statement announcing Jindal's selection.

Jindal amejimaliza. kwenye hili, yaani sasa hauziki

 

[BAK]

Jindal amejimaliza. kwenye hili, yaani sasa hauziki

Huwezi kujiuza mbele ya kadamnasi ya Wamarekani ambao jana walikuwa wamekaa mbele ya TV zao halafu hujui kuongea unaishia kubwabwajabwabwaja. Sidhani kama tutamuona tena Jindal akiongea kwa niaba ya GOP.

 

[Nyani Ngabu]

Obama zaidi ya kusoma hotuba kwenye prompter hana lolote. Off the top of his head Obama chokes....sijui hii mancrush ya Obama itaisha lini...I can't stand his ass

 

[The Truth]

Bantus have always been susceptible to cult of personality. Why do you think there are so many big men throughout Africa? A Bantu leader could be enslaving his people but it doesn't matter as long as he is larger than life. Part of this is low IQ among the people who fail to discern what's taking place, what the leader is doing, his agenda and so forth. Obantu is the same way among many Bantus. I have to admit that many Whites act the same way towards Obantu which is due to dumbing down of the Western World. But for the most part it is among Bantus this phenomenon is common.

 

[Pundamilia07]

I like Bobby Jindal lakini speech yake ya jana aliitoa at a very wrong time. Nadhani hana team nzuri ya kumshauri inapofikia katika maswala ya kujenga CV. At this time si kila Rep. anakubali kuongea bila ya kuwa na uhakika wa nini kitafuata. Bobby alitegemea kuwa his recorded speech would work well, lakini speech ya Obama ilikuwa juu sana kiasi cha kumfanya Bobby aonekane amepwaya na kama anaghani mashairi. As I said yesterday hili ni kosa kubwa sana kwa Bobby limeweka doa katika harakati zake. Kwa kawaida speech yake ilitakiwa iwe na impact kubwa katika ku-challenge ile ya Obama. Lakini hata hivyo Bobby ninaamini aliuziwa mbuzi kwenye gunia na kwa vile shida yake ilikuwa ni mbuzi basi akasahau kuwa ni muhimu amwone mbuzi mwenyewe. Kibaya zaidi his recorded speech ilikuwa mikononi mwa CNN what a mistake the guy couldn't foresee? Angeomba kutoa coomet live rather than what he did.
Angalia wazoefu kama Mzee McCain, yeye alikwenda live na Larry King na akahakikisha hachezi mbali na emotions za watu.

 

[Sahiba]

He shoot hymself on hys foot poor Bobby Jyndal.

SAHYBA.

 

[Susuviri]

Jamani naona Ukweli na Nyani wamebaki kumponda Obama with imaginary allegations and emotional outsbursts lakini wameshindwa kumtetea Piyush. (kwa nini anatumia Bobby??)
Alafu nilisoma kuwa kale-ka anecdote chake cha yule Sheriff wa New Orleans:
1) kila ishara inaonyesha haikutokea na kwa kuwa Sheriff ni marehemu basi ni ngumu kuthibitisha (is it Liar! Liar! Sniper Fire! kama ya Hillary)
2)Huyo Sheriff alikuwa racist (cheki thread ya Obama 100 days nimeibandika)
So it is getting surreal.... kusema jamaa hana washauri wazuri haitoshi, hana experience .. fullstop!

Bobby Jindal missed a prime opportunity to establish himself as a leading GOP presidential contender in 2012

I am sure hivi sasa anajuta kujipeleka kimbelmbele kuongea on behalf of the party. Hiyo GOP walimtaka kama window dressing kama walivyofanya na Michael Steele.

 

[JokaKuu]

..hata mimi nilikuwa shocked by how poorly Bobby Jindal delivered his speech.

..hotuba ile ingeweza kuwa nzuri tu, au na impact tofauti, kama ingesomwa na mtu mwingine.

NB:

..miaka 4 au 8 ni mingi sana kwa mwanasiasa kama Bobby Jindal[he is only 38 yrs] kujirekebisha and make a political come-back.

..hata Clinton naye alipatwa na episode kama ya Jindal during one of democratic conventions.

..

 

[Geeque]

Piyush Jindal alikuwa kama anawasomea vitabu watoto wa chekechea, nina uhakika hata chekechea wangekuwa bored na ile boring speech, yaani amemfanya Sarah Palin aonekane ni bonge la Genius.

 

[Andrew Nyerere]

Bobby Jindal spoke well. After you hear him,Obama sounds brash,like a braying donkey. But I think 2012 is too soon for this young man to bid for the presidency.
