BATON ROUGE, La. -- Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal calls the Obama administration "lackadaisical" in its Gulf oil spill response in his new book "Leadership and Crisis," laying out his views on everything from health care to energy policy while keeping silent on whether he harbors presidential ambitions.
Criticism of Democratic President Barack Obama for the federal disaster opens Jindal's 311-page book set for nationwide release next week as speculation turns to those Republicans who might challenge Obama in 2012.
Part autobiography, part conservative manifesto, the book charts the rise of the 39-year-old son of Indian immigrants to the Louisiana governorship but makes no hints whether he'll run for the White House. But throughout the pages, Jindal -- a Republican in the governor's office since 2008 -- describes his vision for the GOP on positions from federal spending to education and crisis management.
Long seen as a conservative star, Jindal has tough words on immigration, saying all immigrants should learn English, the United States should continue construction of a border fence with Mexico and employers who hire illegal workers should be punished.
"I have no problem imposing American values on people who want to become Americans. Freedom, hard work, self-reliance and rugged individualism are values all Americans should embrace," Jindal writes.

There are deep cuts in education going on, and FOOTBALL and other sports are untouched.
I guess keeping LOUISIANA at the bottom in EDUCATION is a priority for JINDAL and other LOUISIANA IDIOTS.
As long as LSU is in the TOP 10 in High School Recruiting and has escort services for recruits probably are the only thing that matters in Louisiana Education.
Jindal will never get my vote or support with the path he has chosen for education.
Yeah he’s too cool, can’t lift a finger, no drama obama, whatever.
Awwww, come on! Obama went down there, ate ice cream, held a tarball and had a picture taken of he and his daughter in the water.
He went big this time, he used a daughter prop.
When has he ever done more?
So do I. Considering his education in Healthcare policy, I am looking forward to his book. If he doesn’t run for President, he’d be my top pick in a dream Cabinet as HHS Secretary.
Before you call people from LA IDIOTS, you ass, you should first know that the sports dept is separate & it can accept donations that go directly to the sports programs from boosters. UNLIKE many schools.
If you lost a bet against LSU, go figure. Learn a lesson and take the points next time.
BTW, you’re pigeonholed on LA shows through & through.
Ask most LSU fans and they would probably not think thats a problem.
Texas is really nuts about high school football, I guess that Louisiana is the same probably for similar reasons. Read James Michners(sp) monumental novel “Texas” to understand the phenomenon.
While football is low on my list of what is important in school, I suspect it brings alumni $$ support which finances less popular or “sexy” sports and courses, and therefor supports all education in the long run. Anyone out there have actual information on my conjecture?
Rush is reading from excerpts, apparently, and Obama did not seem to know that a letter Jindal sent asking for food stamps was routine and necessary.
