It would have been better to keep his powder dry.

Wel, I admire Jindahl, so this moves me closer to Perry, but I’d like to see him make peace with Ron Paul to get support from me, and many others.
American Woman commented:
Jindal’s recovery efforts for Louisiana have been far less than stellar; so seriously who cares that Jindal throws his support to Perry.
I’m an Independent, and I will not vote for Perry. I do not like his ties to an Islamic prince and Arab oil money, nor the fact that Perry felt it was necessary to indoctrinate Texas school children with Islamic propaganda. I especially do not like his in your face attitude, it reminds me of Obama.
Perry is a RINO. Did he really have a hand in Gore’s presidential campaign? (Yikes!)
Giuliani is getting in this race. I remember his actions during 911, and the fact he was very ill but walked NY streets and did his job & duty. I want a leader not a showman. (By the way, I don’t care about his divorce so don’t go there.)
I also believe Palin is getting into this thing. No matter what, her entry will change the race. She is a leader, and I love her her true grit.
Bill Mitchell commented:
Lol, looks like Jindal and Pawlenty are already running for VP
Bobbi commented:
Very important endorsement. Even though Gov Jindal is not eligible to run for POTUSA, he was a Rhodes scholar, and, I might add, one heck if a Governor.
Mad Hatter commented:
Bobbi,
I thought Jindal was was born in the U.S.
Bill Mitchell commented:
Guys, there are various levels of RINO’ism. Just because someone doesn’t tow 100% the strict conservative line on every single issue doesn’t make them a RINO. I don’t care what a person’s political ideology is as much as I care that they are a pragmatist and a leader.
The fact that conservatism is very pragmatic tends to make pragmatists conservatives, but I’m not gonna throw out a candidate who is 90% conservative just because I don’t agree with them on an issue or two. All that does is give the victory to the liberal.

I don’t know if Jindal is or not, but it won’t matter, Rubio is the VP candidate.
Bob Z commented:
Jindal was born in the USA. He can be president.
garrettc commented:
Look for these endorsements from powerhouse Conservatives to be spaced out, with the most powerful comming last. Endorsements from Halley, DeMint, Cantor and Rubio. Where they fall in this line up says a lot.
Kathy from Kansas commented:
Perry just went up in my estimation. I think the world of Bobby Jindal. Don’t really care much for Perry – I like his book so far (I’ve been reading it), love his fierce advocacy for states’ sovereignty, love his personal animus against Barack Obama (that’s one thing he and Jindal have in common).
But Sarah’s the only one I’d all but lay down my life for.
Amjean commented:
It is too soon for Jindhal or anyone else to endorse any one. First of all, all the candidates
have not announced. The deadline is sometime in October.
Secondly, there is no way Jindhal has had time to research Perry’s record and compare it
to the other candidates. The repub estab has apparently abandoned Romney
in favor of Perry because they think Perry can beat Obama better than Romney. That is
the only criteria because then the repub thieves (no better than the democrap thieves)
will be able to keep their croney capitalism, perks, and behind closed door deals in place.
This is disgusting. I have no respect any more for Jindhal. I wonder what he thinks is in
it for him with this endorsement. And I hear that Bob O’Connell (?), gov. of Virginia is in
the wings waiting to endorse Perry also.
SnowSoul commented:
#6 So, you can write, but you can’t read? How’s illiteracy work like that? I’m just asking because: Bobby Jindal can run. He was born here.
Jindal, McDonnell, Inhofe, I keep hearing Perry’s a RINO, gotta wonder why those three are supporting this RINO then. I swear, nothing makes sense anymore.
American Woman commented:
Perry’s decision to provide Islamic indoctrination in public schools shows that his head is in the wrong place:

Bobbi,

_________
He was. But his parents were not citizens at the time of his birth. That makes him “native born” but not “natural born” – the same reason, actually that Obama was and remains ineligible. You need 2 citizen parents. Unfortunately, in Jindahl’s case he did not have any citizen parents.
Bobbi commented:
According to Supreme Court decision, Minor v. Hapersett (1875) the court defined ” natal born citizen” as one who is born of 2 American parents and on American soil. http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com
So, Gov Jindal, born on Smerican soil of two Indian citizen graduate students does not qualify. Neither does Senator Marco Rubio, whose parents naturalized five years after he was born.
Neither does Barack Hussein Obama, whose father was a British subject. I’n fact, according to the Britush Nationality Act if 1948, Barry could have been born I’n the Lincoln bedroom, he. Us still British.
Nice coup, heh?

So no one forgets this about Obama and jobs. Early 2009
Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s Rescue Plan for the Middle Class
http://www.scribd.com/doc/6523359/Barack-Obama-and-Joe-Bidens-Rescue-Plan-for-the-Middle-Class
Our country faces its most serious economic crisis since the great depression. We have lost
760,000 jobs this year and some leading forecasters project that the unemployment rate will
exceed 8 percent by the end of 2009. Working families, who saw their incomes decline by
$2,000 in the economic “expansion” from 2000 to 2007 now face even deeper income losses.
Retirement savings accounts have lost $2 trillion. Markets have fallen 40% in less than a year.
Millions of homeowners who played by the rules can’t meet their mortgage payments and face
foreclosure as the value of their homes have plummeted. With credit markets nearly frozen,
businesses large and small cannot access the credit they need to meet payroll and create jobs.
Over the course of this campaign Barack Obama has championed ideas to address these
problems. Today he is announcing a comprehensive four-part rescue plan for the middle class
that builds on his existing proposals and adds new ways to directly address our economy’s
rapidly evolving problems:
1. Immediate Action to Create Good Jobs in America
2. Immediate Relief for Struggling Families
3. Direct, Immediate Assistance for Homeowners, Not A Bailout for Irresponsible
Mortgage Lenders
4. A Rapid, Aggressive Response to Our Financial Crisis, Using All the Tools We Have
All of the ideas in this plan can and should be doneimmediately. They either use existing
authority or could be quickly passed in emergency legislation. Middle class families have already
waited too long for relief. The time to act is now.
This immediate plan complements Obama’s long-term economic agenda, including his tax cuts
for ordinary Americans and small businesses, his plans to create up to 5 million green jobs, his
plans to bring down healthcare costs by $2,500 per family, and his commitment to enacting
broad new financial market regulations to help ensure we never face this type of economic crisis
again.
Sam Stone commented:
PLEASE read the first terribly formatted paragraph. (i’m not a teche)
It was what Obama said WOULD happen WITHOUT his plans. He got it, it was the FIRST stimulus.
How prophetic!
tpartynitwit commented:
Romney must be behind this. Next thing you know Nikki Haley, Marco Rubio, and New Mexico’s governor Martinez will line up behind Perry.
Mad Hatter commented:
Good catch Sam,
We also can’t forget this one from Barry,
From CNN, February 23rd, 2009
President Obama pledged Monday to cut the nation’s $1.3 trillion deficit in half by the end of his first term.
He identified exploding health-care costs as the chief culprit behind rising federal deficits during a bipartisan “fiscal responsibility summit” convened to discuss ways to restore fiscal stability without deepening the recession.
Meeting with the congressional leadership of both parties, as well as a range of business, academic, financial and labor leaders, Obama warned that the country cannot continue its current rate of deficit spending without facing dire economic consequences.
“I refuse to leave our children with a debt they cannot repay,” he said in remarks opening the one-day summit at the White House. “We cannot and will not sustain deficits like these without end. … We cannot simply spend as we please.”
http://articles.cnn.com/2009-02-23/politics/fiscal.summit_1_deficit-spending-national-debt-health-care-costs?_s=PM:POLITICS
That last quote needs to be used against him over, and over, and over, and over…
Sam Stone commented:
“They either use existing authority or could be quickly passed in emergency legislation. ”
Another line to see how prophetic he was.
He is doing EXACTLY” as he wanted to do.
Sam Stone commented:
Keep it up Mad Hatter. These types of “memories” need to be widely published.
Sasja commented:
Espresso #22. I vote for both.
Valerie commented:
Romney got an endorsement, Perry was smart to get one, too.
I’d be disturbed if Jindal didn’t endorse Perry: he has had to work closely with Perry in the past, and he should be friendly with him.
Bobbi commented:
It was embaeassing to watch Ms. Bachmann and Sen. Santorium release their vicious anger at Gov. Perry for inoculating the “innocent 12 yr olds”. There are a lot of promiscuous 10 yr olds.

Jindal disappoints by backing a RINO.
The debate showed Perry is weak.
J commented:
Right after Katrina, Jindal showed up in his home state. He was interviewed, several times, and kept spouting the dem party-line rhetoric. Bush’s fault, incompetent, yadayadayada. I did not find his talk helpful unless you are in a dem-controlled state and the dem party was rising in the country and you had political aspirations.
The contrast between Jindal’s dem-lite talk and General Honore’s useful talk was stark. Jindal got stuck on stupid and I lost all regard for him.
tom beebe st louis commented:
Anyone having reseervations about Bobby Jindahl should read his book “Leadership and Crises”, probably at your library.
