Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) talks about his bumbled response to an address made by President Obama.
"Look, I'll be honest, I'll take responsibility for it. The delivery was awful. It turns out I can't read teleprompters, turns out I'm much better just talking to people.

O snap!
LOL! Jindal talks faster than I can listen. He is absolutely brilliant too.
“...I’m much better just talking to people.”
unlike Barak Oprompter
LOL. Yes, he does. And, yes he is. Huge Jindal fan here. Please run, Bobby, run!
Jindal was on Morning Joe yesterday and was really good. He is very smart, quick witted and clever.
RE: I’m much better just talking to people
Just be sure you don’t talk like you’re talking AT people.
Jindal should have been governor earlier... he lost to Kathleen Blanco partly because in their debate, his rapid fire response and discourse gave people the impression that he was more of a college professor than a people’s governor ( Talking AT rather than talking TO people ).
It took Blanco’s total bumbling response to Katrina for the people of Louisiana to realize they needed a competent governor, not someone who simply emotes with them.
At least that’s the way I see it.
When is Jindal gonna talks to people and tells them he is not qualified to be president? Jindal is not a natural born citizen and he should put the crap talk to rest now.
AFAIK Jindal was born in the USA.
That speech was Jindal’s “You’re no Jack Kennedy” moment.
He would make toothpicks out of Obama ... maybe even sawdust ...
I miss the America that loved Calvin Coolidge. I think politicians should shut up, do their job and just cut taxes and spending.
Jindal is a very honest man. If he couldn’t run for POTUS, IMO he would already have told us that by now.
so what? you obviously dont know the meaning of NBC. Jindal parents were not citizens of USA.
Jindhal on a bad day is better than Obama *ever*.
Someone should ask him, the didnt vett dunham and now no vetting of Jindal?
Exactly... Jindal is a good guy, but unfortunately he's like Tim Pawlenty. Perhaps too much of a boyscout.Ha! I'll vote for a boyscout. And there's no worries about his cholesterol either, like Christie. Rumor has it Bobby still has a 28-inch waist! :):)

Opps, we tried that in 2008 and ended up with Obama.
Frankly, I think the country is ready for someone who actually is smart and thoughtful, even if they are a little rough around the edges presentation wise.
