Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal criticized President Obama‘s experience before he became president in an interview Tuesday, and defended Mitt Romney, who has recently come under attack by Obama’s campaign for his record at Bain Capital.

“President Obama hasn’t run anything before he was elected President of the United States. Never ran a state, never ran a business, never ran a lemonade stand. This job’s too important for on the job training,” Jindal said during an interview on FOX News’ “America’s Newsroom” Tuesday.

Jindal contrasted Romney’s experience with Obama’s record, arguing that, “In contrast, Mitt Romney’s been a successful governor, a successful businessman. He’s got the executive experience.”

He has disappointed me greatly by having his parent’s pressure Indian friends to borrow money to finance his campaign. This information is from and Indian friend of mine who was pressured. If true, and I believe my Indian friends. The really supported him and are very upset with him for turning out to be “just a politician” who is interested only in himself. They also tell me that he accepted a lot of foreign money for his campaign funneled through local donors. He then selected a “Teach for America” liberal for State Superintendent of Education who has had very little education experience and is tied to several for profit school projects and most likely Soros. His supposed reforms are a joke all conservative sounding with no substance. He wanted to increase the contributions of state employees for their retirement. Most had no problem with that if it was going to shore up the retirement system. The problem was he intended to use the money for the general fund not for the retirement system. Most of his reforms don’t really reform they just make him look conservative to possible presidential candidates. Don’t cross him he doesn’t get mad he gets even. Lousy ethics and temperament IMHO.

Bobby Jindal himself has very limited private sector experience. He is a critter of the public sector. I am open to correction on this but going by Wikipedia that’s how it looks

Yeah he’s an Ivy League career pol.
But one saving grace - he’s not a lawyer.

That's a big plus, plus he seems genuinely interested in helping business and is pro-capitalism. He is pro-oil and gas and for the Louisiana energy industry. So despite being a gov't sector critter he is the opposite of commie Obama

(No insult to the real Koolaid which is a fine product - when not misused).

Seriously, how does real Koolaid get misused?
