Stop Apologizing for America!

Our Most Excellent Louisiana Governor, 

Bobby Jindal, takes Obama to Task.

_______________________________

Governor Jindal, who has had a very public feud with the White House over the administration's handling of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and offshore oil ban, is of the firm belief  that the current president is responsible for leading the country down a wrong and very dangerous path.
 

From Fox News:

Criticizing both the Bush and Obama administrations for failing to execute adequate domestic security policies, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal went on a tear Sunday, criticizing Washington for playing defense, relying on luck and apologizing for protecting the nation from terrorists. "This is a fundamental clash of cultures. This isn't, well, let's go and figure out a way to apologize for Americans. This isn't how we offended them because we're supporting Israel."

The federal government has to face the fact the War on Terror is about enemies who hate the U.S. way of life, not about social justice, he said.

 In his new book "Leadership and Crisis," Jindal writes that the United States' "current therapeutic approach to national security is dangerous. I'm just not interested in empathizing with the grievances of our sworn enemies. Let's figure out where they're vulnerable and destroy them."

The Governor has also been very vocal about the recent TSA security controversy and the Homeland Security Secretary.

Jindal said body searches of 6- and 12-year-old girls traveling to visit their grandparents is illogical. Instead, it's time to dip into methods that rely on information without political correctness.  "I don't think it's profiling, I think it's using information we know. You look at things like, for example, you look at travel patterns, you look at how they purchased their ticket. You look at the information, the intel we've got.

Bobby Jindal, son of Indian immigrants, is a vibrant, intelligent and energetic politician who's trials as a young Governor are well known, as is his ongoing feud with the White House. He has conducted himself well as Governor, but is he Presidential material?  Maybe not yet, but definitely someone who should be looked at carefully as a possible V.P. We could do a lot worse.

Louisiana Cajun Philosopher and Democratic Strategist, James Carville, said at a Breakfast in Washington D.C. this morning, "If Hillary gave up one of her balls and gave it to Obama, he’d have two."


James, my man. For such an intelligent and astute political observer, you take a gigantic leap in logic. You're assuming Obama has any balls at all.

"He knows exactly how smart he is."

In David Remnick's biography of Barack Obama,"The Bridge' he quotes longtime Obama friend Valerie Jarrett: 

"I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability, the extraordinary, uncanny ability to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually."

"He's just too talented to do what ordinary people do. He knows exactly how smart he is." 

"So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy. ... He's been bored to death his whole life."

*snicker*

Narcissistic and egotistical  come to mind. But now unappreciated -- simultaneously called "pathetic" and "tone-deaf," respectively, by the left in The Progressive Magazine and the right in The Washington Times. Turns out that Valerie Jarrett is wrong.  As we have witnessed lately, there's nothing extraordinary about Obama's talent in reading people or understanding economics, and his political savvy has always been in doubt.

Pelosi Throws Party to Celebrate Accomplishments.

Let’s see: Bankrupting the nation, record unemployment, spearheading one of the greatest repudiations a political party has ever suffered, passing the most unpopular bill in history…yup, Princess Pelosi has a lot to celebrate.

 From Hill.com

 Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will host a reception Wednesday afternoon on Capitol Hill to celebrate “The accomplishments of the 111th Congress,” according to an invitation sent out Monday.

The event will offer congressional Democrats, many of whom will not be returning to Congress next January, an opportunity to reflect on the party’s legislative victories over the past two years. These have included the passage of major healthcare reform, financial regulatory reform, and climate and energy legislation.

Not likely to be lost on attendees, however, is that the unpopularity of many of these “accomplishments” among voters went far to contribute to a wave of Democratic losses in last week’s mid-term elections, in which Democrats lost control of the House and their majority in the Senate was weakened.
