I thought Jindal did fine — hit a lot of good points. Biggest problem for me here in L.A. was the bad sound, i.e., the sound “skipped” on many words throughout so I had to guess what word Jindal had just used.
Otherwise, it was a good effort for someone who is a bit of a young novice. I was favorably impressed.
We don’t get a good barn burner like that very often. It wasn’t fire and brimstone, but I think it was the perfect response. Obama is a tough guy to criticize right now, so soon after he came to power. It has to be done in a way that does not rip him, but none the less reveals his policies for the mistakes they contain.
Whoever wrote that speech did a masterful job IMO.
I just read it again. I wouldn’t change much.
I'm not in California, but we had the skipping issue here as well. I had to wonder if the skipping was intentional. Interestingly, Gov. Jindal's speech was followed by a sweeping montage of Barack Obama in slow motion as he “heroically” waved to a crowd. I've never seen the image of a president manipulated that way. Hmmm.
