Louisiana Governor gets to speak tonite !

Louisiana was admitted to the Union in 1820 so its been here for a while. If you have lived here for any time while most notice something different about the place. People like to talk to each other and strangers. Its about politics, sports, food, or music. Its easy to strike up a conversation and speak your mind on any local topic. We are the first to have an Indian governor, first to have a Vietnamese Congressman, and a variety of colorful politicians from Huey Long to Edwin Edwards.

We tend to go against the trend for whatever reason.

One thing about Bobby is that he can talk. Just need to slow him down. He has had plenty of practice in talking and he is not shy. He is a good guy so take the time to listen.

Below are exclusive excerpts from Governor Bobby Jindal's Response to the State of Union:

...As I grew up, my mom and dad taught me the values that attracted them to this country - and they instilled in me an immigrant's wonder at the greatness of America. As a child, I remember going to the grocery store with my dad. Growing up in India, he had seen extreme poverty. And as we walked through the aisles, looking at the endless variety on the shelves, he would tell me: "Bobby, Americans can do anything." I still believe that to this day.

Republicans are ready to work with the new President to provide those solutions. Here in my state of Louisiana, we don't care what party you belong to if you have good ideas to make life better for our people. We need more of that attitude from both Democrats and Republicans in our nation's capital. All of us want our economy to recover and our nation to prosper. So where we agree, Republicans must be the President's strongest partners. And where we disagree, Republicans have a responsibility to be candid and offer better ideas for a path forward.
