Ok...Just watched the speech. I see nothing awful about it. If it’s at all reminiscent of Mr. Rogers, don’t forget 69 million people were dumb enough to vote for 0bama; maybe Jindal wasn’t aiming his remarks at YOU, maybe he was pitching underhand to your idiot co-worker or your brother-in-law.
I think the reason so many people here gave Jindal low marks is because they listened to 0bama’s speech right before. That left them thirsting for blood, and Jindal served cookies and milk. He offered no catharsis. But again, he wasn’t pitching this to us on the raging right.
And maybe this isn’t yet the time for Jindal to draw fire from the left for attacking The One. Give it time. Give 0bama the time to make himself stink broadly. Give people time to suffer from his policies; then, at the right moment, attacks will be more effective and blame will connect with 0bama like a guided missile.
This speech was my first encounter with Jindal. I never really noticed him before, he was just a name until now. It was a respectable first impression, and that’s what a first impression should be.

Even dumb people don’t like that tone of voice.

It would probably be a mistake if he did. Foaming at the mouth after a President gives his first major address is a perfect way for the media to tag Republicans as “enemies of the state.”
