Jindal On Brewer, Obama Incident: "Brought Back Memories"
“It brought back memories. It seems hard to believe it was almost two years ago," Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) said about President Obama's visit to the state after the BP oil spill.
On "FOX & Friends," Jindal said Obama pulled him aside on the tarmac and engaged him in conversation, expressing frustration in a move that he called “obviously staged.â€
“He grabs me by the arm, takes me aside. Here’s the strange thing: I thought he’d be angry about the oil spill, the lack of resources; I thought he’d get down there and say, 'Look governor, we’re going to do everything we can to work together.' Instead, he was upset he was going to look bad; he was worried about some routine letter we had already sent to his administration, nothing important.â€
“I was amazed at two things: one, that he was mad about the wrong things, and two, that he was so thin-skinned," Jindal said.
“I wanted him to be the president of the country, and instead he was playing political theatrics.â€
