kind of a bland speech so far. Not bad but not great so far.

On edit:

Good story on Katrina "government is not the answer"

Jindal's speech is pretty unimpressive so far.

Oh damn, Jindal is the exact opposite of Obama. He can speak from the hip with the wit of a scholar, but can't speak in front of a teleprompter worth a damn.

I'm glad "American's can do anything" was not part of the drinking game.

matthews is criticizing jindal for being the governor of LA, and talking about not taking government money . . . even though that state "did pretty well in the department" . . .

Even Britt Hume said it wasn't Bobby's greatest moment. But what he said made sense. He might not be the polished speaker that Obama is, but his thoughts are better.

Krauthammer is saying that it was tough coming on after Obama, but perhaps Americans will someday listen. Said he had a hard task and did the best he could.

he had a tough act to follow;  a joint session of congress, & etc.  but it was pretty much a failure.

Jindal is new to the national spotlight. He's a LOT better without a teleprompter:

I suspect that the national party sent someone down there and screwed him up.  they should have left him alone;  let him write his own speech, and deliver it the way he wanted to.

I wish he would have spoken like that tonight.  His speech tonight was a huge disappointment for me.
