Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal joined about 900 Californians Saturday at the Unite IE Conference in Riverside’s Fox Theater with a strong, unapologetic and presidential speech that focused on “the importance of repealing all of Obamacare,” repealing “all of Common Core,” and winning “the war against radical Islamic terror.”
Jindal began by criticizing those Congressional Republicans who campaigned on repealing Obamacare, but now call full repeal “too hard,” violating their promises to voters, according to Jindal. “They’ve decided we’re not going to get rid of all of the Obamacare tax increases, instead we’re just going to raise taxes a little bit less than he did. They’ve said, we’re not just going to get rid of his entitlement program; we’re going to have to create a new entitlement program. They’ve said, just like the President does, we’re going to count success, by the number of people that have a cards, never mind whether they really have access to doctors or affordable healthcare, never mind if we’re actually reducing costs for the American people.”
He added, “I don’t ever remember these candidates saying, ‘well vote for us, give us the majority and we’ll just repeal the easy parts of Obamacare, not the hard parts.’”
“We don’t need to be a cheaper, weaker version of the Democratic Party,” Jindal proclaimed, continuing, “and we certainly don’t need Obamacare-lite.”

“For some reason our President, doesn’t seem to want or doesn’t seem to be capable of recognizing that what we’re at war with is a set of evil beliefs. These individuals, they want to kill us, they want to enslave us, they want to treat women as second-class citizens. We’re not going to fight this with a jobs program. We need to understand what’s at stake here,” said Jindal.
Jindal recalled his father’s words to him and his brother when they were young: “Every night boys, you need to get on your knees and give thanks to God almighty that you are blessed to be born in the greatest country in the history of the world, these United States.” Jindal’s parents came to America over 40 years ago.
Voting “present” 90% of the time as a state senator and being a US senator for six months doesn’t make someone qualified to be CIC?
Travis, we are living in a surrealistic world. Our country has been stolen. Can we get it back or have we reached critical mass with so many people dependent on government that they will never vote out their benefits.

Great question. I think it could go either way. Too early to tell.
This needs to be repeated by everyone, over and over again. I have no hopes for the left, they won't ever be able to admit their guy is deranged, but finally enough people are going to tell the truth that could wake America up and recognize what's going on.
If conservatives really want to have fun, every DAY they need to make a negative statement about Obama. Giuliani X 1,000. Make the media address EVERY THING SAID. After a while, people will begin to believe it.
ping!
It’s obvious to anyone with a working brain that Barry Soetoro is not up to the job of President of the United States.
Unfortunately he is up to the job of Fundamental Transformation.
Where does Jindal stand on border security and immigration enforcement?
That is the critical issue.
I'm loving it!
Wow! It would be great to hear that from a President!
Neither is Hillary.
We knew that about 7 and a half years ago.
It doesn’t matter to the people getting freebies. All they care about is the freebies. Hillary and her rapist husband took money from trafficker of young women, Ng Lap Seng. So what? Give us our benefits. If the election were held tomorrow, she would win overwhelmingly. The press will protect her, while attacking every potential GOP candidate. The Compost has been all over Scott Walker for the ultimate benefit of Hillary.
At least this is a good start —

And now, after doing zero to secure our southern border during his Presidency, he has the nerve to say the problem is due to a lack of spending. This President is not serious, and he’s incompetent. He just needs to man up and secure our border.” - See more at: http://www.teaparty.org/la-gov-bobby-jindal-obama-man-secure-border-50978/#sthash.ZY1XPdSJ.dpuf
This might have gotten the biggest standing O. It was brilliant -—
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal assured President Obama Friday that the “Medieval Christian threat” is under control, and urged him to worry instead about the current threat of radical Islam.
“We will be happy to keep an eye out for runaway Christians, but it would be nice if [Obama] would face the reality of the situation today,” he said in a statement reported by National Review. “The Medieval Christian threat is under control, Mr. President. Please deal with the Radical Islamic threat today.”
On another note, despite the fact that he has a good message for the economy and he called out the Texas Guard during the invasion of illegal kids, Rick Perry looked like a goof with all of his arm movements and gestures. It almost looked like a SNL skit making fun of Rick Perry.
