Jindal to give SoTU response
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has been asked by John Boehner to give the GOP response to BHO’s State of the Union address. A rising GOP star will get national exposure. Jindal is facing severe budget problems in Louisiana, where tax revenues depend heavily on oil prices. If he copes well and leads Louisiana effectively, he must be considered a presidential hopeful.
