LA Gov. Bobby Jindal Eviscerates Obama Administration On Energy

Posted by in Blog, Featured, Politics on February 28, 2012 11:25 am / 12 comments

This is great. A reporter asked Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal a question which was obviously designed to absolve President Obama of any responsibility for skyrocketing gas prices and his failure to enact any sort of coherent energy policy. She even tries to employ some tired White House talking points in her question. Jindal wasn’t having any of it:

What you just saw was a complete and total takedown of not just the abject failure that is this administration on the energy front, but of a reporter doing the bidding of the White House. Here endeth the lesson.

    I love it when an Obama talking point gets turned into an all out stomping on this administration’s policies. The reporter had nowhere to hide. Excellent.

    The LSM will make nothing but ‘excuses’ for the POTUS and his FAILURE to enact an Energy Policy…We need to open up the drilling in the Gulf again, and see if we can attract those ‘Rigs’ that left after the Deep Water Horizon incident… they’ve gone to other Countries now, and perhaps will not be back ever, with all the regulations & rules imposed on Businesses!!

    Way to go Gov. Jindal..

    The LSM never ceases to amaze me at its blatant bias.

    Someone tell me why this man is not running for President, and our current spate of candidates is. This is a travesty! Brokered Convention/Jindal ’12!

    [...] Gov. Jindal is asked by a reporter what Obama can really do now regarding oil and gas prices since it’s not something he can really control (you’ll notice how she endeavors to protect Obama in her question). But Gov. Jindal schools the reporter on what Obama has actually done and what he can actually do to make this crisis better on the American public (h/t: Right Sphere) [...]

    Jindal should NOT be finished as a force. He did have a bad time with one speech, but if he can do as well as he does above…he should be pushed for something higher. In fact, we have a number of promising stars, but we have the usual hacks running the show. Shame. Jindal not only SOUNDS like he knows what he’s talking about…he DOES know what he’s talking about.

    If nothing else, this and similar replies need to be used by anyone who opposes Obama to insure he is a one-term POTUS and doesn’t have another 5 years to finish destroying the country.

    So instead of encouraging good people like Jindal to enter the presidential race, the first instinct of the GOP is to scrape the bottom of the barrel for Romney or Gingrich. Stupid, shortsighted and suicidal.

    Good Job, Gov. Jindal, but more importantly, Nikki Haley was cute through that entire monologue.

    What was most illuminating about this whole panel was the difference in conservativism articulation between the newly elected governors and endorsers of establishment choice Gov Mitt Romney (R-MA, Jan 2003-Jan 2007), Gov Nikki Haley (R-SC, Jan 2011-) and Gov Bob McDonnell (R-VA, Jan 2010-) — bipartisan — and the more entrenched elected Gov Bobby Jindal (R-LA, Jan 2008-) who went with Gov Rick Perry (R-TX, Dec 2000-) and now House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA, Jan 1979–Speaker Jan 1995 to exit–Jan 1999) — bottom-up solutions. Interesting. I, for one, look forward to our Pennsylvania fracking overlords with the middle ground in President Rick Santorum (R-PA, Senator Jan 1995-Jan 2007) — Ethicaloil.com and natural gas prosperity for America.

    Jindal, along with Pence and Daniels and a whole bunch of others that are rising stars of the GOP are the ones that will be taking it to the GOP establishment and the liberal left for the foreseeable future. I am saddened that the ones that I mentioned are not part of the race for the President, but I feel they’re time is coming. We have to keep in mind that men like Bobby Jindal are forming their base now for future help that this country will need. God Bless our new rising stars of the GOP. Bobby Jindal every time he speaks lets us know he knows what has to be done. And being from a state that actually produces Oil, he is standing on firm ground.
