Don’t take this personal, but I consider Jindal’s speech to be one of the best I’ve heard in over a decade. He touched on his connection to the immigrant issue. It was a crafty way to neutralize Obama’s attempt to claim hero status.
Then Jindal moved into the realm of big government and personal responsibility. He explained why big government is bad, taking money from taxpayers is bad, and why the reverse is better.
His delivery was incredibly good.
I heard Jindal on the radio and he sounded good there.
Palin is my first choice, but Jindal is a rising star in the GOP for sure.
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.
Obama introduced himself to the American people by his reference to his parents—an all American example of the melting pot.
Bobby's response was a rib shot directed at Obama. Gov. Jindal made a comparison between his parents (immigrants from India,) and Barack Obama’s folks. The implied difference was that Jindal’s parents were responsible. Obama’s philandering dad statutorilly raped an American teenager, absconded without seeing the lad, and later killed a man in Africa before drunkenly ending his own life. Obama’s mom later headed for the hills, abandoning “Barack junior” to be raised by her mother, the much maligned “typical white person.”
Compare that to an immigrant busting his hump to find a job, and fulfill his financial obligations, including setting up an installment plan to pay the doctor who delivered Bobby.

Wow, seriously?
Loved the content of the speech, but the delivery, in my opinion, was like he was reading a children’s story, and sounded condescending in an algore kind of way. Where was the Meet the Press Jindal? He wasn’t there tonight.
Youtube commenters are calling him Mr. Rogers...saying he’s a joke and Palin was our answer to Hillary (also saying that was a joke)
I think the Dems are so friggin’ stupid that they really don’t get it. “Obama is going to pay my mortgage!” My thought was that Jindal was trying to dumb down to their level to try to explain it in terms they could understand.
