I'm also aware that Dems apply laws selectively. One of Alinsky's principles is to make sure your opponents follow the rules to the letter - all of them. And of course, they ignore what gets in their way.<BR/><BR/>If you're not familiar with Alinsky and his principles for overthrowing a government peacefully, please make yourself familiar with it/them. Obama is an Alinsky disciple, and has used his methods to the letter to get where he is today. We all need to be aware.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057096731886665887.post-34130468192003300922009-02-27T20:46:00.000-05:002009-02-27T20:46:00.000-05:00Jennifer: I'm not sure there is a problem, but sue...Jennifer: I'm not sure there is a problem, but suek knows more than I do. <BR/><BR/>suek: I think Jindal should give his speeches off the cuff, maybe a few notes to stay on track, whatever works for him. Overall, Jindal communicates better than Obama as far as I'm concerned (when he's talking about what's on his mind, as opposed to canned speeches.) Obama gives a good, emotionally charged sermon, but it's all fluff.RightKlikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04475874038428195332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057096731886665887.post-73966263200285159482009-02-27T11:02:00.000-05:002009-02-27T11:02:00.000-05:00>>He's not a slickster like Obama, so I ...>>He's not a slickster like Obama, so I don't think he will play games.>><BR/><BR/>I agree. Everything I've seen about him indicates that he's really the kind of person that would make an outstanding president. Yes, he needs to work on speaking - at least with the teleprompter, if that was the issue this time. Heaven knows that Bush's big problem on getting the country behind him on the Iraq war was a lot of just not getting out there and _talking_ to the people. Dems could say anything, and he wouldn't come back at them. That's _not_ a good thing. All talk is no good, but no talk is also no good.<BR/>And which is why, by the way, I want the natural birth thing cleared up. Clearly and definitely. <BR/><BR/>Jennifer...<BR/>If I understand it correctly, at the time of Jindal's birth, the law required that in order to be a natural born citizen (as opposed to being a just plain citizen) as required by the Constitution, a newborn had to be born in the USA (which he was) and also that one parent had to be a US citizen. Jindal's parents were _not_ US citizens at the time of his birth. His father was naturalized when he was 2 years old. <BR/><BR/>Remember, this is not a question of whether he's a citizen or not, but whether he's a "natural born citizen" as required by the Constitution. Otherwise, Schwarzenburg could be president (heaven help us!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057096731886665887.post-23209674135020321522009-02-27T07:20:00.000-05:002009-02-27T07:20:00.000-05:00Question about Jindal's natural born citizen statu...Question about Jindal's natural born citizen status? Huh? What is the question? He was born in the U.S., I don't see the problem. <BR/><BR/>Please explain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057096731886665887.post-48303389614720386972009-02-26T13:27:00.000-05:002009-02-26T13:27:00.000-05:00Suek: I'm not sure how to clear up the issue at t...Suek: I'm not sure how to clear up the issue at this point. Jindal has been asked many times if he plans to run for president. If he had eligibility problems, I'm sure he would come right out and say "I'm not eligible, so I won't be running." He's not a slickster like Obama, so I don't think he will play games. I feel confident that he will clarify this issue to everyone's satisfaction.<BR/><BR/>The pictures, yes. There are some bad pictures of Jindal. The GOP needs to send some photographers down to Baton Rouge to get some better pics. And it probably would be a good idea if they bought him a gym membership, he needs to bulk up a little.<BR/><BR/>Jindal is a diamond in the rough at this point. He's not running for president yet, but we don't have all the time in the world to spare. I just hope the GOP doesn't do to him what they did to Palin and put him in the wrong places at the wrong time and play to his weaknesses instead of his strengths. <BR/><BR/>The Dems were always smart enough to put Obama in the right place a the right time. They didn't expose his weaknesses. Obama avoided townhall meetings with McCain because he knew it wouldn't be to his advantage. Without a teleprompter, Obama sounds dopey. <BR/><BR/>Similarly, for all her brilliance in giving speeches, Palin looks bad in hostile interviews with Democrat reporters. She sits there looking like she's fantasizing about wringing their necks. After doing poorly with the Gibson interview, that should have been the end of it. No interviews with the likes of Katie C. Maybe press conferences would have worked better for her.<BR/><BR/>Here's the point. The GOP needs to work on enhancing the image of its brightest stars instead of making them look worse. As you've noted, they're not doing a good job. I hope Michael Steele is paying attention to this problem.RightKlikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04475874038428195332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057096731886665887.post-43774837339020993822009-02-26T12:25:00.000-05:002009-02-26T12:25:00.000-05:00I agree with everything you've said about Jindal.....I agree with everything you've said about Jindal...I think he's a Republican star.<BR/><BR/>But we _need_ to clear up the natural born birth certificate thing. The Dems will _not_ let this pass if it's a problem. They're likely to let it lie until Jindal is the nominee and the Repubs are really hot for him, and then bring legal action to get him disqualified, leaving the party in a pothole - no, make that a sink hole.<BR/><BR/>We need to get it done _now_ so that if he's _not_ eligible, we can focus on someone else. Get it out of the way.<BR/><BR/>And oh yeah...they should lose that full front face photo they use for him...makes him look really dorky. The photos you have make him look much more like a regular joe...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
