First of all, I want to say that Obama gave a masterful speech before the joint seesions of the US Congress.  He seemed to be truthful, yet hopeful, something all analysts have said he needs to do.  Well Irene, they got their wish.  All in all a helluva speech.

The GOP chose Gov Bobby Jindal of Louisiana to give the “rebuttal”, if you will.  What can I say?

He began his speech with a story, but he told it like he was talking to 6 year olds.  That immediately made me critical.  Then he went on to giving the talking points that all Repubs are using about the stim plan…you know…it spends it does stimulate…or a speed rail linking Disneyland with Las Vegas….the typical equine fecal matter….you know…LIES.  Then he went on to tell of the success of the Katrina programs…..that got a couple of holy craps!  And as predictable Gov. Jindal told us all about the Gop’s plan of tax cuts which would put more money in hands of the American people.

All in all, Jindal was a dud!  If this is the face of the new GOP then they are in sad shape.  But then after some thought, his infantile story telling would appeal to those of the mentality that thinks the conservative ways are the only ways.

The GOP is gonna have to do better, because if their huge gamble does not pay off then they are totally boned.
