Re: Jindal is out of touch - CNBC

It's not that he's not smart. Obviously he is.

I would say it's because the hypocrisy bleeds out of him more so than your normal politician, and that he and/or his campaign hailed him as this savior of Louisiana when in reality, he's been much more concerned with his national standing.

That is all.

Is he better than Blanco, et al, sure. Without a question.

I'll say this, though, Blanco, for all her faults, didn't hide behind her desk when the local/state media called nearly as much as Jindal does.

He was just on Mad Money, sounded really sharp, impressed Cranmer, and represented Louisiana well. Potential there for him to be a true domestic energy champion nationally. For those that missed it I recommend watching the rerun.

As long as he wasn't talking about how great a job he's done in balancing the state's budget. Robbing Peter to pay Paul isn't the best financial advice (although Cramer's dumb arse might well endorse it).
