RE: I’m much better just talking to people


Just be sure you don’t talk like you’re talking AT people.

Jindal should have been governor earlier... he lost to Kathleen Blanco partly because in their debate, his rapid fire response and discourse gave people the impression that he was more of a college professor than a people’s governor ( Talking AT rather than talking TO people ).

It took Blanco’s total bumbling response to Katrina for the people of Louisiana to realize they needed a competent governor, not someone who simply emotes with them.

At least that’s the way I see it.

I miss the America that loved Calvin Coolidge. I think politicians should shut up, do their job and just cut taxes and spending.

I’m guessing that this time around, a lot of people that thought Obama’s rock-star/messiah schitck was so cool are going to change their mind and decide competent is cool.

I can see the 2012 political “fashion” headlines now:

Competent is Chic!
Flashy is out, Competent is in
Competent is the New Black

Actually, Blanco started running attack ads against Jindal painting him as a radical on his health care positions and his role running the dept.of hospitals. Jindal did not answer the attack ads and his poll numbers went down and she won. When he ran the 2nd time, he learned his lesson and answered the attack ads and won handily.
