Like the crow in Aesop's fable!

Looks like Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana, has spoiled any goodwill for Indians created here by the movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ (which won 8 Oscars on Sunday, including the best picture). The crafty Republicans publicized Jindal as the next “Obama’ and put him up to rebut President Obama’s address to the Congress last Wednesday. Like the crow in the Aesop’s fable, Jindal believed all the hype about himself, and tried to imitate Obama. ‘Oh,God!’ was the common reaction when he faced millions on TV, right after Obama had spoken to them. His speech was painful to watch. He came across condescending with a 'sing song' accent, and did not make much sense with his exhortation, ‘we are Americans, we can do anything .. and the government is the problem’. To make matters worse, the blogosphere is now ablaze with accusations that he was lying in his speech about his role in Katrina hurricane rescue. I think Bobby Jindal is now ‘finished’ as a 2012 Presidential aspirant, and I do not feel sorry about it.
