I'm still amazed at how well President Obama moved our nation forward last night. I'm also in shock at how the Republican response was so out of touch with reality. When he came on the scene a couple of years ago, my initial reaction to Bobby Jindal was positive. I thought he might help bring the Republican party back to respect. He struck out last night and embarrassed his party and our nation. I was once a Republican, but I'm embarrassed by their rhetoric. I'm embarrassed that he thought the value of Obama was simply his race. I'm disgusted that Republicans still push deregulation of markets and privatization of government services. I agree with the sentiment expressed by the MSNBC crew who responded with candor to Gov. Jindal's response.
