Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-La.) suggested Thursday that former Vice President Dick Cheney should tone down his criticism of President Barack Obama.
Cheney has repeatedly criticized the presidents national security policy, saying recently on CNNs State of the Union that Obamas decisions raise the risk to the American people of another attack.
Asked to respond to Cheneys remark during an interview ABCs Good Morning America, Jindal said: I don't think we should question President Obama's patriotism or his intentions.
I think Democrat or Republican, we should all agree that our current president, our former president would obviously want to do everything they could to keep us safe, he said. Let's give the new administration a chance. Let's not question their intentions. Let's have a real debate on their policies.
The Republican governor praised Obama for showing more flexibility when it comes to Iraq than maybe some of the campaign rhetoric suggested.
I am, quite honestly, pleasantly surprised, he said. That's the kind of pragmatism, listening to the commanders on the ground, I think is very important.
Jindal did offer some criticism of the president, pointing out that it is fine to have an honest disagreement on the policies that both administrations would choose to try to keep us safe.
At some point, we need to stop going overseas and apologizing, criticizing our predecessors, he said.
I don’t like Cheney at all but this does nicely illustrate that the Demopublicans are all part of one big government cartel.
Not only that, but we have every right to “question their intentions”. IMHO, we have an OBLIGATION to question their intentions. Go, Cheney!
Me too! Go Sarah....we are with you. The fact that the MSM has written her off and that McCain has distanced himself shows she has exactly what we need.
We can safely scratch Jindal off the list.
Oh yes, I agree. Obama should be laid off.
Just remember,
A recession is when your neighbor loses his job
A depression is when you lose yours
And recovery is when Obama loses his
So, by all means, he should be laid off.
I’m glad you pointed that out. Jindal is like a parrot squawking out Dem talking points.
It’s ironic that Jindal is dinging Cheney when Jindal himself is the one doing damage.
Excellent. Exactly correct. We understand that but Jindal does not.
The fellow is so not ready for prime time...
Palin-Barbour 2012 sounds like a winning ticket IF Acorn and its’ voter fraud can be controlled.
That tells me all I need to know about Jindal. Gov. Palin is the only credible conservative voice in the country today.
I agree with you. I am so tired of the “bend over and grab your ankles” crowd. When they take that position they expose the very fact that they have no backbone to stand up straight for something that matters.
Bobby Jindal is right. Better to attack a fellow Republican who served honorably than suggest Obama’s judgment is poor.
Keep Talking, Mr. Cheney..............glad to see at least one Republican with some stones...............
What a bunch of metrosexual effete weenies get the airtime.
I didn’t hear that Sanford said Rush was an idiot for wanting the Kenyan to fail...anyone know where that came from?
Nice.
Bobby needs to look after Louissianna.
jindal is weak.
If nothing else, Dick Cheney might becoming more aware of the frustrations of the base when our "leaders" engage in these pussified responses.
