Bobby Jindal: Trump is Obama's fault

http://www.salon.com/2016/03/04/bobby_jindals_trump_fantasy_whos_to_blame_for_the_rise_of_an_anti_muslim_bigot_obama_of_course/

That’s the thesis laid out Friday in a Wall Street Journal Op-Ed by Bobby Jindal, the disastrously unpopular former governor of Louisiana who ran a brief, sad campaign for the White House and has now booked passage on Marco Rubio’s sinking ship. By Jindal’s reckoning, Trump is simply a reaction to the Obama presidency. We’ve had eight years of the “cool, weak and endlessly nuanced” Barack Obama, he argues, which means now voters are hungry for the precise opposite – they want “a strong leader who speaks in short, declarative sentences.” Per Jindal: “You can draw a straight line between a president who dismisses domestic terrorist attacks as incidents of workplace violence and a candidate who wants to ban Muslims from entering the country.”

If he won't call Mexicans names and support mass deportation; if he won't condemn all Muslims and ban them from the country, he is being too nuanced and politically correct.

Perhaps Bobby is trying out the use of 'nuanced' as a new buzzword to use against the left.

The right craves a strong authoritarian leader who will govern with fear and emotion, not nuance.
