The delivery wasn't great, but what he said, I more-less agree with.

Then again, I'm a member of Jindal's party. I'm guessing you're not.

Bear in mind that what Obama and Jindal said was written by speech writers and tested on focus groups. It was anything but contemporaneous and it was anything but meaningful. These sorts of speeches serve one purpose only -- to win public support. These speeches are really a sideshow though, not really important at all.
