LOUISIANA'S UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IS 5.1%, THEY HAVE ONE OF THE WORST SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN AMERICA, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN SUBSTANDARD TRAILERS AND SHELTERS, THEY NEED MASSIVE RECONSTRUCTION, THEY HAVENT REBUILT MUCH LAND STARTING WITH HURRICANE KATRINA, THE LIST GOES ON, HE DOESNT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DELCINE MONEY WHEN PEOPLE IN HIS STATE ARE STARVING, FOR HIS OWN POLITICAL ASPERATIONS, HE WANTS TO BE ABLE TO SHOW HOW CONSERVATIVE HE IS.

When I saw the headline "Romney Helps Out Jindal", I was hoping that it was a story about Romney presenting Jindal with a pair of MAGIC UNDERWEAR.

But the actual article was more hilarious ..........­.... Romney is only helping Jindal in his gubnatorial run in hopes that Jindal would be eliminated from the presidential primary republican line up........ This is one way to get rid of the competitio­n.........­. Let the games begin.

Will Romney also be as kind and gracious to Palin and offer his assistance in her gubnatorial run for re-election as well? (lol) .........

Well Romney, that's 2 down ....... How many more to go?

Bobby are you gonna use those funds to rebuild your state? How about education in your state? How about the poverty and unempoyment in your state?

[mairs]

Oh please run for president, Governor Jindal. You can be the lead balloon of 2012.

These two individuals belong together. These two clowns are inseparable. They remind me of Frick & Frack (a Swiss comedy ice skating team [circa 1937]), Heckle & Jeckle (two mischief magpies related to crow family), Mutt & Jeff (comic strip characters who got into hot water and trouble [circa 1908), and Laurel and Hardy (comedians [circa 1920-1950]). It’s ironic because as Frick and Frack skated on ice, Romney & Jindal skate of very thin ice, with their non-solutions rants. As Heckle & Jeckle got into various mischiefs, so do these two bozos, with their various schemes. As Mutt & Jeff got into hot water and trouble, so do these two, when they open their mouths. What is so ironic is that as Laurel and Hardy made us laugh with their antics and expressions, so do these two clowns, whenever they appear. Sometimes history repeats itself.

Oh great! frick helping frock!

And those two duds on the same ticket will get the same result as the McCain/Palin ticket did.

[bogues]

I don't think these two are going to be rivals, i think they will be on the same ticket. The question of who will be at the top of the ticket is the only thing yet decided. I suspect it will be ROMNEY/JINDAL.

Jindal looks like a mouse.

[sarale23]

He may look like a mouse, but he's maybe the most successful governor. The unemployment rate in LA is the lowest in the country, less than 4%, and his leadership during the hurricans last summer was superb, unlike his Dem predessesor's.

[wineandjazz]

Don't fool yourself. He only became Governor because those that were born in raised in Louisiana were all displaced right after Katrina and thousands and thousands of them could not return to cast their votes being that there were all living in different states. So, don't fool yourself in trying to convince someone that he is a successful Governor. He got in because of Hurricane Katrina and Bush. Don't let the smooth taste fool you. Jindal is NOT all of that.

[kareemachan]

And his state gets lots and lots and lots of money from the feds - and actually, the unemployment rate as of 2/26 was 6%.

[Mike4Obama]

Unemployment is below the national average but remains above 5%.

I don't mind discussions but at least try and be honest.

[Petey131]

Noise, I hear a lot of noise.

[Petey131]

"but he's maybe the most successful governor." Isn't this what they said about Palin? We know how that turned out.

[trisha08]

Mitt is just the GOP's bi tch. He will do...say..­..support.­....anyone­, and do anything they ask.

Remember when he said that he would hire Palin to run one of his companies? Really? He would hire a woman who was barely able to finish college to run one of his companies?

Doesn't say much about is judgement and the people running his companies.

Maybe he will one day learn that the GOP just loves him for his money.

[Grannysue]

So Alfred E Newman is getting some help from money bags, good luck, kind of like the blind leading the blind.

[ChiGuy]

Yes, yes, PLEASE keep funneling right-wing dollars to not only Piyush Jindal's coffers, but toss a little Sarah Yupyup's way as well!
The more prominent their names become as front runners for the Repug party nod, the more assured we all can be that Obama will have a cake walk in 2012.

[Dolmance]

If someone as loathsomely repellent as George Bush could be President, then don't imagine for a moment that someone like Bobby Jindal can't be President too. Republicans love defectives whose eyes are too close together.

[Felicty]

I hope they both FAIL.

[tierone]

These guys are all over the map, aren't they?

Isn't this "fundraiser" something the head of the RNC should be conducting?

[greatlardini]

And shouldn't a "fundraiser" for the governor of Louisiana be held in Louisiana? If I'm a citizen of that state I'm pi$$ed off with a capital "P".

[Kindheart]

Isn't that sweet of Mitt...how­ever, it won't help Bobby and Mitt in 2012.
