Booby Jindal: Obama "never ran a lemonade stand".

iana Gov. Bobby Jindal criticized President Obama's experience before he became president in an interview Tuesday, and defended Mitt Romney, who has recently come under attack by Obama's campaign for his record at Bain Capital.

"President Obama hasn't run anything before he was elected President of the United States. Never ran a state, never ran a business, never ran a lemonade stand. This job's too important for on the job training," Jindal said during an interview on FOX News' "America's Newsroom" Tuesday.

Jindal contrasted Romney's experience with Obama's record, arguing that, "In contrast, Mitt Romney's been a successful governor, a successful businessman. He's got the executive experience."

He may never have run a lemonade stand, you ignorant jackass, but he has done something you and your buddy Willard will never do: run this whole damn country for four years.

he has begun winding down two wars, saved the automobile industry, brought the country back from depression and we are creating jobs instead of losing them, killed Bin-Laden. Just what the hell are you talking about, Jindl?

for ten cents ('68). Sushi, (rice in a wrap) was ten cents too. For shave ice he used large clear blocks of ice, spun on a motor over a blade. Twenty or so flavors to choose from. Twenty cents for lunch.

Into the ground. Obama's experience as a community organizer gives him more experience for the presidency than an MBA. There is no "product" to manufacture, market, and sell as the president. There is a budget, diverse groups of people, all with demands, and the need to get them all living the best lives they can.

who are these idiots who keep thinking being a businessman is any preparation for being President? Makes as much sense as arguing a hot dog vendor in New York is prepared to be President.

have financial problems, we need to support things like the military. it's not about using people to make as money for yourself.

Jindal is a fucking loser. the opposite of Obama. Jindal was talked up as potential president and then everyone saw that speech he gave . now he is a joke. he can continue kissing certain asses , he will never be president.

Jindal Steel and Power is a part of the Jindal Group, founded by O. P. Jindal (1930–2005). In 1969, he started Pipe Unit Jindal India Limited at Hisar, India[2], one of the earlier incarnations of his business empire.

Families are both from the same part of India (punjab)
