Tanned. Rested. Ready’ Bobby Jindal in identity crisis

However, unlike others, Jindal is very particular about his national identity and minces no words when he says he is just an American and not Indian-American. We have a long tradition of folks from all different backgrounds incorporating their traditions into the American experience, but we must resist the politically correct trend of changing the melting pot into a salad bowl. “I am myself proud to be the second Indian-American elected in Ohio’s history”.

He is the first Indian-American ever to enter the race of United States presidential elections. If there were any doubts about how close – or rather how far -Jindal is from his local roots, he dispelled them in a spectacular style earlier this week when he launched his presidential campaign.

Meanwhile, Twitter went wild Tuesday asking Bobby Jindal questions with the #AskBobby hashtag after his political action committee encouraged people to ask the presidential candidate questions.

Bobby Jindal isn’t the most popular guy in Louisiana, but the governor has fans in one of the state’s most noticeable families.

If America doesn’t get off the path it is headed on under current leadership in Washington, D.C., Jindal said “there will be a whole generation who will never live the American dream”.

Despite the Supreme Court judgment, the Jindal administration has said Louisiana’s state government will not recognize gay marriage for now.

The video also includes photos of a young Jindal, whose parents immigrated from India to Baton Rouge, La., where he was born. He is the vice chairman of the powerful Republican Governors Association.

His latest statement that proves the last point is when he said that his parents came to the U.S. from India four decades ago to become Americans and not Indian-Americans. “So glad Pearson Cross is available to tell us who counts as Indian”, tweeted Ramesh Ponnuru, a senior editor at the National Review and a Bloomberg View columnist. He said, it was their tactics and definitely not his shedding of his Indian origins that led to his boycott by the Indian-American community in the U.S. However, he thinks that the Indian-American support for Republican candidates was likely to get fractured and divided because of the large number in the running.
