No.
I think he just needs seasoning.
Conservative firing squads always form a circle.
The more criticism this early the better IMO. Palin and Jindal will work harder on delivery and be that much more ready for the challenges ahead.
Yes you are the first person evah to think Bobby Jindal disappointed. Congratulations.
I guess we’d better borrow Bambi’s bus so we start throwing people under it.
Seems some conservatives are never happy. I guess they have that in common with the Rats.
His delivery was awful and it got in the way of his message. He was probably nervous as hell. It was hardly a huge deal. He was excellent on Hannity’s radio show today.
I did resent getting a lecture from Rush on this. I REALLY don’t think it’s too much to ask for someone to have the right message AND be able to deliver it at least without the delivery getting in the way of the message.
I really can’t stand it whenever both Republicans and conservatives don’t deservedly criticise their own whenever it’s truly necessary to do so. The GOP is already in deep trouble, just from the total number of RINOs who still exist from within the entire Republican Party, and this is in addition to what’s mentioned here.
Pray for America, Our Troops and Gov Jindal
Sadly, politics is nothing but a beauty pagent these days. Nobody even cares about the substance anymore.
Although we actually will need to get some Democrats to vote or our guys to win the races they're in, we don't have to kow-tow to their sartorial sense.
We'd probably be well advised to find reasons for them to NOT VOTE AT ALL.
And "independents"? They're hopeless.
I guess conservatives are supposed to value style over substance now.
Too bad.
I am not willing to throw him out because of one speech. I posted this last night in his defense. You guys are nuts who demand total perfection every outing or YOU WRITE THEM OFF.
I don’t write off anybody like that. He is still a baby,he was nervous, he wasn’t set up right. Good learning experience for him.
Don’t forget what a wad bambi was when he started.
No, he was a disaster. If he is the *future* of the GOP, don’t count on much. You can’t fight a corrupt Chicago Communist political machine (with an agenda that they will go to any lengths to achieve), with some milquetoast that spends the first 5 minutes on his knees kissing the false Messiah’s half black as*.
Thanks for posting. I didn’t see it. FReeper responses BUMP! :)
Thanks to all.
We love Bobby! You wouldn’t happen to be a member of DU also would you?
Republicans circling the wagons to stifle criticism of Jindal’s performance last night remind me of nothing so much as the fawning, sychophant press trying to make Michelle Obama into the second coming of Camelot.
Face it, he bombed. He doesn’t have the voice, the face or the delivery of a frontman. The content of the speech was lost in an ill advised, sappy attempt at being folksy.
Can he recover from it? I don’t know. Clinton did. But, for all his faults, Bill Clinton could never be accused of being a stiff, in front of a television camera at least.
Didn’t see BO and didn’t see Jindal’s response, but I don’t understand all this fuss.
Maybe he didn’t give a good response - oh well. I’ve heard him speak many other times. He’s intelligent, articulate, knows how to explain his conservative positions, doesn’t hyperventilate and back down, and he doesn’t need a teleprompter - I’m impressed with him FWIW.
One speech should not hurt him in the eyes of conservatives, but if FR is any indication, it sure has.
He’s a great conservative and is truly exceptional in discussing the issues. But I’ve got to be realistic too - the guy is low on charisma. Sorry if you don’t want to hear that.
