A state that consistently ranks at or near the bottom in key quality of life indicators sorely needs a full-time chief executive to address its challenges. In Jindal, we have a governor who treats Louisiana as a refueling station for his seemingly eternal road tour.Ain't that the truth? Kudos to the writer of the opinion and the headline writer. I've mentioned several times that Jindal was a Rhodes Scholar. What did he learn during his time at Oxford? He graduated with an MA in public policy with an emphasis on health care. Mercy! My next post on Jindal will document that he is defunding public hospitals in Louisiana, even as plans for treatment of poor and low-income persons are not yet final. Challenge or chaos? Either way, Jindal needs to stay home and pay attention.
Jindal’s national political ambitions are clear. Whether he ever runs for president — and many people believe that he will — the governor is obviously passionate about national GOP matters and enjoys the national spotlight.
....
But true conservatism values personal responsibility, and Jindal’s first responsibility should be to the voters he pledged to serve as Louisiana’s governor. That’s good policy, and also good politics.
