RUSH: Bobby Jindal has a new book out. I have a copy of it autographed right over there. Bobby Jindal\u2019s got a great new book and he blasts Obama in this book over the BP oil spill. ‘Jindal uses a new book to portray President Barack Obama as disconnected from the Gulf oil spill, charging that he was more focused on the political aftermath than the actual impact of the crisis,\u2019 and if there\u2019s anybody that knows, it\u2019s Bobby Jindal because it was his state that was under assault by Obama and the federal government. <\/p>\n

<\/a>‘Jindal recounts a pair of private conversations with the president that paint him as consumed with how his actions were being perceived. On Obama\u2019s first trip to Louisiana after the disaster, the governor describes how the president took him aside on the tarmac after arriving to complain about a letter that Jindal had sent to the administration requesting authorization for food stamps for those who had lost their jobs because of the spill. As Jindal describes it, the letter was entirely routine, yet Obama was angry and concerned about looking bad.\u2019 (imitating Obama) ‘You don\u2019t embarrass me by sending me a letter asking for food stamps. I know enough to provide \u2019em. You don\u2019t need to make me look like I have no heart and no compassion.\u2019 <\/p>\n

”Careful,\u2019 he quotes the president as warning him, ‘this is going to get bad for everyone,” if you make it look like I don\u2019t care about people. ‘Nearby on the tarmac, Jindal recalls, then-White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel was chewing out his own chief of staff, Timmy Teepell. ‘If you have a problem pick up the f-ing phone,\u2019 Jindal quotes Emanuel telling Teepell. The governor asserts that the White House had tipped off reporters to watch the exchange on the New Orleans tarmac that Sunday in May and deemed it a ‘press stunt\u2019 that symbolized what\u2019s wrong with Washington.\u2019 So the press had been tipped off by Obama, ‘We\u2019re gonna get off the plane and we\u2019re gonna tell these people in Louisiana what-for. And that\u2019s what it was made to look like, and Jindal writes about it in the book. And he talks about how this is symbolism over substance. Nothing\u2019s different here with this bunch. In the meantime, Obama\u2019s got a drilling moratorium in place that\u2019s costing tens of thousands of jobs. We know what we\u2019re dealing with. Jindal writes: ‘Political posturing becomes more important than reality.\u2019 Bingo! <\/p>\n

Back after this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: One more story from my autographed copy of Bobby Jindal\u2019s book that\u2019s a sitting right over there on my sofa. <\/p>\n

After Obama instituted a moratorium on offshore drilling, Jindal recounts that the president dismissed his concerns about the economic impact of the ban. ‘I understand you need to say all of this, I know you need to say this, that you are facing political pressure,\u2019 Jindal quotes Obama telling him.\u2019 I understand you need to talk about the job losses. I know you need to talk about how all this, the moratorium, is affecting you. ‘When [Jindal] said he was concerned about people losing their jobs,\u2019 he was really concerned about it. Not just ‘having to say it,\u2019 he was really concerned about it, ‘he said the president cited national polls showing that people supported the ban.\u2019 I don\u2019t care, Governor. People might be losing their jobs, but I got national polling data says that the American people support the drilling moratorium. <\/p>\n

Jindal writes, ‘The human element seemed invisible to the White House.\u2019 Now, they\u2019re not gonna like that, \u2019cause this is what liberals rely on is this ‘human element.\u2019 They care, they are good people, and Jindal recounts a story where Obama didn\u2019t give a rat\u2019s rear end that Louisiana people were out of work. He\u2019s cold and aloof, like walking past your wife on the stage after she makes you look like the best human to ever walk the planet. He\u2019s cold and aloof, not cool. Asked by Politico ‘to respond to Jindal\u2019s assertions, Obama aides didn\u2019t directly address either conversation but pointed to the president\u2019s overall response to the spill. ‘From Day One, President Obama has directed his administration to work with state and local governments to respond to and help Gulf communities recover from the BP oil spill,\u2019 said White House spokesman Adam Abrams.\u2019<\/p>\n

No, they didn\u2019t. They didn\u2019t get involved \u2019til day 53!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
