Arksis, I agree with you the liberal media tore Jindal apart all day.
The problem is that his broadcast was right after Obama's. As much as I dislike Obama, he has a way that when he orates, that he pulls the viewer in. Obama's way of speaking reminds me of a lot of black preachers, especially the ones who preach Black Theology.
The way Obama holds his head slightly lifted above the audience view line, the way he overally enunciates certain words, and when he takes dramatic pauses at certain points when he speaks all have a reminiscent quality of MLK and other black activists of the 1960's.
The problem with this is that Obama's type of speaking draws people to listen to him. And all the hoopla around him adds to all his hype and people blindly tune in. So, Jindal as a less experienced orator really didn't have a chance.
Now with all that being said, I like Jindal and I do believe he will grow into his own with a little more time and experience.
