I thought Bobby Jindal was supposed to be so impressive??

[Thrill]

Is this guy suppose to be their rising star?
I've heard a couple Freepers in the past call him the GOP's Obama?

Just watched Meet the Press. Wow just wow. This guy is weak. No charisma at all. He's like a Robot that just keeps talking and contradicting himself.

Obama has only been President a month, and after seeing this cast of characters, I'm feeling good about his re-election :)

[Ishoutandscream2]

1. Well, can he prove he was born in the USA?

I keed, I keed...

[book_worm]

2. that's just the media speaking trying to build him into a star but as you say

the guy is a snooze machine. He should be bottled and given to people suffering from insomnia.

[LiberalFighter]

8. About as much pizzaz as Senator Bayh

[saltpoint]

3. So far I'm just not getting Jindal on the political radar as a major player.

[Rashel]

22. I'm not feelin' it either. He comes across as very unlikeable.

[saltpoint]

23. Hello, Rashel, and welcome to DU.

It's a great place, really. The boards and topics are always lively and interesting, owing in large part to the vast range of psychedelic compounds we're all on.

Welcome aboard.

[Rashel]

25. Thank you so much for the welcome!

[livetohike]

4. It's pretty sad for the GOP isn't it?

They didn't have anything in 2008 and they won't have anyone in 2012 either. It's interesting to see the jockeying for position going on with the GOP governors. It will all back fire on them.

[MADem]

5. I think he was 'restrained' during that appearance. He didn't want to make any errors.

And I suspect he'll be on the GOP ticket in four years, too. Or at least he'll be approached about it. He's not going to Iowa for his health. And he pulled out the same non-denial denial that Clinton and Obama used, the old "no plans" routine.

He's going to have to step it up ten notches to even be competitive--or the economy will have to crash and burn, and Democrats be perceived as uncaring.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

14. He'll run but he'll never make it on the ticket.

Not while the GOP is STILL relying on Sen. Shelby type "we didn't see his birth certificate" shit to stir up their masses.

The inherent racism of the GOP machine will do Jindal in through lack of enthusiasm as well as the guy's own limitations.

He's a smart guy, and has a Southern governor's seat but that's only part of what is required.

[Uzybone]

15. Nah he wasn't restrained....that is typical Jindal

During the Hurricanes last year he was just as boring. Thats just his style....borrrrriiing.

[Still Sensible]

6. Yeah, he's kinda like George W, but without

the personality!

[fujiyama]

18. To Jindal's credit

he's a hell of a lot smarter than Bush.

But he's also nuts. There's no way we want him anywhere near the presidency.

[FSogol]

7. Jindal will play the part of Gulliani in 2012. He'll be the media

appointed front runner until he loses all the primaries.

[Arkana]

10. His old, angry, white opponents will not be able to RESIST the racist angle.

Calling it now.

[Metta]

9. He's another self serving political hack. A real lightweight who doesn't care that his state suffer

suffers. Happy karma, Bobby.

[KathieG]

11. Impressive...to republicans. Nuf said.

[Clio the Leo]

12. I only saw the first half of his Meet the Press interview.....

... and he single-handedly whiped away any worry I had left of Palin being the 2012 GOP nominee. He's got all her cool freshness, with not as much of the air-headededness.

I suspect he MAY have read US News and World Report ... or at least Sports Illustrated.

[zulchzulu]

13. He was taking a ride on his new Schwinn BackPeddler while he was getting spanked

I'd love to play the guy at chess. He thinks his pawns are rooks.

[AtomicKitten]

16. His argument on MTP today for not taking the funds for unemployment was spectacularly lame.

I have no doubt his ridiculous stand on the stim package will come flying back in his face in due time. He is essentially coming out against the largest tax cut in history. That's a campaign ad he'll regret providing.

[MattBaggins]

17. Then why are all you democrats so afraid of him?

How long till we hear that as the new meme. They are still trying it with Palin. Claim that Democrats are afraid of them when in fact we are laughing our collective asses off.

[Thrill]

19. They have to be disappointed in his performance today. My guess is Tuesday he will

be about as bad as Katheleen Sebeilus was for us.

[vaberella]

20. Dude...didn't you know? He exorcized the Devil from his friend.

Who needs to talk to the press...he fought the devil and won. I wish I was lieing or this post was worthy of the :sarcasm: icon. He actually does believe he saved his friend from the Devil.

[uberllama42]

21. He's a bad Catholic- very pro-death penalty

Any bishop who sees fit to order that pro-choice Democrats be denied communion should say the same thing about Jindal.

[jenmito]

24. The only reason they call him the "GOP Obama" is because he's a minority...

that's how clueless they are.

[Jennicut]

26. So true Jen! Its like let me up you your minority with mine! So crass and disgusting.

[TeamJordan23]

27. Can you ever imagine Jindal at a NASCAR rally?

Thus, I don't think he will be the GOP nominee in 2012. Maybe, a VP spot.

[brianna69]

28. Jindal is very overrated

He has zero charisma and is just there as far as I'm concerned. The GOP and press are trying to raise his profile but he is very blah and boring.

[ErinBerin84]

29. I was very unimpressed too.

He had no charisma and parroted tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts. Boring.

[uponit7771]

30. That's way we need PALIN POWER!! Vote for her in the 2012 GOP primaries!!!

[ecstatic]

31. Palin Jindal 2012! Join the movements! Series!1

[otohara]

32. His Smile

reminded me of John McCain or Dick Cheney when they tried to eek out a legitimate smile.

[raysr]

33. He'll be impressing the

catfish after he denies extensions on unemployment insurance.
