Bobby Jindal's response to Barack Obama's statement to Congress



Tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts. "These plans would cost less and create more jobs." "Instead of trusting us to make decisions with our own money..." (about 4:45)

"instead of monitoring volcanoes, what Congress should be monitoring is the eruption of spending in Washington D.C." (5:15)

"He was literally yelling into the phone!" (about 3 minutes in)

Bobby Jindal's delivery seems inauthentic and insincere. The Republican party has asked him to prostitute his alterity in order to copycat Barack Obama's non-white exotic otherness. "Like the President's father, my own parents came to this country from a distant land." He did it. So the Republican party has adopted a me-too me-too strategy of peddling in false exoticism in order to enrich the same small group of transnational corporations. I know that that wasn't exactly argued for in this paragraph, but it's transparently obvious that these guys are owned.
