Americans should hold themselves “up to our own values and our own standards,”
What he means by this is
“if we ever fall short of the values we espouse, then those values are invalid and we can’t hold anyone to that standard”
What Obama’s values is he referring to? His Islamic, or his Marxist values, or both?
Jindal smart response to Obama’s ignorant comments
Jindal to Obama: ‘Medieval Christian Threat is Under Control’

Bobby Jindal on Friday released a statement responding to the president’s remarks on Thursday at the National Prayer Breakfast in which he cautioned Americans from getting on a “high horse” when taking a stance against radical Islam because people have committed “terrible deeds” in the name of Christianity, too.
“It was nice of the President to give us a history lesson at the Prayer breakfast,” Jindal said. “Today, however, the issue right in front of his nose, in the here and now, is the terrorism of Radical Islam, the assassination of journalists, the beheading and burning alive of captives.
We will be happy to keep an eye out for runaway Christians, but it would be nice if he would face the reality of the situation today. The Medieval Christian threat is under control, Mr. President. Please deal with the Radical Islamic threat today.”
Jindal, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, caused a stir on a recent trip to London when he assailed so-called “no go” zones and, in subsequent remarks both in Europe and in the U.S., insisted on the importance of assimilation among immigrants.
“You’ve got people who want to come to our country but not adopt our values,” the Louisiana governor told CNN last month, calling the idea ”dangerous.”
Expect this to be a major theme of a Jindal presidential campaign, if and when it gets off the ground.
