He's been extremely bad for Louisiana. I'm not sure where you got the "great" notion, but his policies have crippled many state institutions, and his economic development policies have done little to stimulate the state.

We are a great climate for businesses at the moment, but only because those policies gut taxpayers in favor of businesses.

I dont get all the hate either.. When the rest of the country suffered we did fine. People dont like the fact that he tightened the budget and complain about the "giveaways" but the fact is private business specifically manufacturing has flourished under Jindal.

Spends all of his time in Iowa and New Hampshire instead of doing his job.

Other than that, he's basically a first round draft bust. He's been a disappointment to business conservatives (by not pursuing comprehensive fiscal reform), good government types (lack of meaningful ethics reform and choosing career crooks as legislative leaders), and even social conservatives (he publicly endorsed making the pill available over the counter).
