Bobby Jindal 2012?

Jindal's people say he will only run if Obama is an unmitigated disaster.

Define disaster please? A W. sized disaster? Or a regular sized one? I mean the opposition can always find some way to say the incumbent has been a disaster. If there isn't anything tangible they can over simply a situation down to bumper sticker form and run on that. Or if that doesn't work they can just fabricate and issue like gay marriage and make a lot of people think it impacts them in some basic material way.

Please give us some idea what a disastrous Obama presidency might look like? Record unemployment? Credit as loose as molasses in winter? Two wars? Thousands of Americans dead and maimed? Tens of thousands of others left to drown? Destroyed American reputation? Are this some of the criteria Governor? Because surprise that has already been done by your team.

Fact of the matter is if Obama's presidency is half the disaster of the last eight years there won't be an America left to lead. The standard for disaster has been set pretty damn high. No one knows how the next 4 (or eight) years will turn out, but so far he is putting economist in charge of the economy,environmentalists in charge of the environment and scientists in charge of the science. Brilliant.Giant improvement so far.

You should worry more about that perennial disaster area I call my home state. See about raising the standards there. Well we know how great the one before you was. Guy before that was capable enough he didn't break anything new. Did some decent things for higher education. The guy before that is world famous for his crookedness. Blago hasn't got jack on Edwin Edwards. Blago is Barry Bonds and the Silver Fox(thats what we called him sometimes) is Babe Ruth. Edwin Edwards is still in jail.

I can't wait for the evangelicals and other rebellious groups get a hold of how crazy catholic you. Oh and your belief that you participated in an exorcism will play really well with the moderates.

There is no way in hell that Obama's presidency will be a disaster by W standards. If you want a disaster to run on you might have to invent one.
