And Said He Was Going To Work To Not Let The Dysfunction In Washington D.C.
Define The Republican Party.  Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said Tuesday it's
time for Republican governors to take back the party's messaging from
Washington, saying the states are where the real action is. The Republican
Governors Association chairman said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that's the goal
of the group's new project, the American Comeback Initiative. "We've got 30
Republican governors. We said we're going to stop outsourcing our brand to
Washington, D.C., because if you want to see conservative ideas being
applied, it's not happening in D.C., it is happening in our state capitals,"
Jindal said. Jindal said state governors are making progress that citizens
can actually see, and that's why Republican governors are doing well even in
Democratic states.

16&digest=t%2fJAvD5V9gc3k2M1V%2fT0zQ&sysid=1>  On President Obama Who Is Not
Showing Leadership Or Negotiating With Republicans. "Like every other
American, we're all frustrated with what's going on in D.C.," he said.
"You've got a House that's only passed five appropriations bills, a Senate
that hasn't passed any. You've got a Senate that does one budget bill
approximately every five years. That's not leadership." Jindal places much
of the blame for the ongoing government shutdown on President Obama for his
refusal to come to the negotiating table over funding his health care law.
"Do I have a problem with the government shutting down? Absolutely," Jindal
said. "We don't see leadership out of the White House. . He [Obama] has time
to golf, he has time to negotiate with the Iranians, doesn't have time to
negotiate and talk to the Congressional leadership, doesn't have time to
find common ground. That's what real leaders do."

Louisiana In Contrast With The Dysfunction Of Obamacare.  Jindal has an
alternative: Louisiana's own modified Medicaid program, BayouHealth, which
uses private managed-care plans . Jindal went on a mission to privatize the
state-owned hospitals.and was ultimately successful. "Here we are today. . .
. Of the ten, we are putting nine in public-private partnerships by the end
of the fiscal year. Five are already done," he said. "At the end you're
going to save taxpayers over $125 million, at least, per year; .  and you're
delivering better health care."

Louisiana Outlining The Economic Resurgence That Is Occurring In All Corners
Of The State. To ensure that we weathered the recession better than other
states, we set out to improve Louisiana's business climate so companies
would want to invest here and create jobs for our people. We immediately got
to work on overhauling ethics laws, cutting taxes, revamping our workforce
development programs and reforming our education system so that we could
create a competitive business climate.  Thanks to these reforms, Louisiana
now ranks higher in every national business-climate ranking than it ever did
prior to 2008, and tens of thousands of job opportunities are being created
in Louisiana so that our people don't have to leave home to pursue their
dreams.
