Jindal defends criticism of Obama economic policy

Source: ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal is defending his harsh criticism of President Barack Obama within yards of the Oval Office, saying “in America we don’t have a king.”

The Republican was criticized by a Democratic governor Monday after Jindal emerged with others from a meeting with Obama and said the president “seems to be waving the white flag of surrender” on the economy.

Jindal tells MSNBC Wednesday the White House “belongs to the people” and he had a duty to speak his mind.

During Monday’s remarks by governors in the White House driveway after the meeting with Obama, Connecticut Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy took over the microphone from Jindal and responded sharply. Malloy told reporters, quote, “Wait a second, until a few moments ago we were going down a pretty cooperative road.”

this standing. He could implement trade schools to train the citizens of Louisiana to be able to work in different trades but he would rather criticize Obama for not approving Keystone pipeline of which will not even be going through his state. He doesn't think it is a good time to increase the minimum wages of his state. He is all mouth and no do, doesn't display any signs of leadership.

Criticism of the President was NOT OK to Republicans. Especially criticizing his lying in order to get the US into a needless and costly war in Iraq, and criticizing his torture of prisoners at Gitmo.

Need to stop being the party of stupid - or something like that.

I think the Governor needs to take his own words to heart. Or, to put it another way - You first, Governor.

Try as he might, he will never be accepted as a full fledged "good ole boy".

But, he never seems to figure that out. That's why he's known as "Booby Jindull".
