Bobby Jindal is playing politics with the lives of the Louisiana people.
Terrific post from Examiner.com
So why would any of these governors turn down help for their neediest residents? Maybe it’s because all three have been named as potential challengers to Obama in 2012. Jindal is being rewarded with the official GOP response slot after the President’s speech tonight. He, along with Barbour and Sanford, should be giving a different kind of gift from voters: they should be bounced out of office when they’re up for re-election. Or, maybe jilted voters can act sooner. Like Illinois, these states can use an impeachment process to dump governors who put politics and personal gain ahead of the best interest of their residents.
The republican response last night was, in a word, pathetic. It was as if we were listening to people from another planet and time. And the politics of his statement was loathsome. Most of the public, it seems, agree.

63% of Americans think the Republican congress opposed the stimulus package for political reasons.
74% of Americans believe that President Obama is trying to be bipartisan by reaching out to Republicans.
Please keep this up, Republicans. Your demise is very welcome from the rest of us who give a damn about this country.
