"Bobby Brady" Jindal is an Ass: "Jindal defends those who want Obama to fail "
Edited on Wed Mar-25-09 04:21 PM by Hepburn


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- -- It's OK for Republicans to want President Obama to fail if they think he's jeopardizing the country, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal told members of his political party Tuesday night.

Jindal described the premise of the question -- "Do you want the president to fail?" -- as the "latest gotcha game" being perpetrated by Democrats against Republicans.

"Make no mistake: Anything other than an immediate and compliant, 'Why no sir, I don't want the president to fail,' is treated as some sort of act of treason, civil disobedience or political obstructionism," Jindal said at a political fundraiser attended by 1,200 people. "This is political correctness run amok."

Hey, Jindal ~~ care to comment on this one: It's an act of treason to not support the POTUS when we are at war.

1. LOL - why must you insult Bobby Brady?
As I recall, he was an honest kid, who worked hard and was respected by his peers, for the most part.

6. Because young Piyush Jindal took the name "Bobby" after his favorite TV character
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Jindal#Personal_life

Jindal's self-adopted nickname, "Bobby", dates to his childhood and his identification with the sitcom character Bobby Brady. According to Jindal, "Every day after school, I'd come home and I'd watch The Brady Bunch. And I identified with Bobby, you know? He was about my age, and 'Bobby' stuck." He has been known by his choice of nickname ever since—as a civil servant, politician, student, and writer—, but his legal name remains Piyush Jindal.

2. "they" are not worried about Obama failing ....
.... they are worried about him succeeding and so in their own craven way they
will try to obstruct and block his every move.

3. IMO, that is probably spot on....
...but I do think that pushing this "I hope Obama fails" mem is not doing them any good. But...the head of the GOP, El Rushbo, has probably required this!

:hi:

4. Over 70% of the American People think Obama is trying to do the
right thing ..... this strategy is suicide for the repugs.

5. What really gets to me about the RW bull is...
...that they do not propose any alternatives and give no specifics as their disagreements. They truly have become the "PARTY OF NO."

8. I'm staying out of their way ...

Living by the maxim of never interrupting your opponent when he is in the middle of making a mistake tends to work for me.

That was like someone said, "Cue the volcano..." and WHAM, there is was!

9. Keep talking, a-hole
You're the best advertisement for the death of the Republican party we have. Right up there with Caribou Barbie.
