The Best Part of Obama's Speech...

...was Governor Bobby Jindal's response from the Republicans.

No clearer distinction could be made between big government Democrats and conservative Republicans than Jindal made last night.

Barack Obama's speech clearly defined his ideology. Spend trillions of taxpayer dollars and expand the role and scope of government, because the citizens simply can't be trusted with their own money. This is pure socialism.

Bobby Jindal, by contrast, stated that individual Americans can do anything we set our minds to do...if only government gets out of the way.

This is precisely the philosophy set forth by President Ronald Reagan in his 1981 Inaugural Address.

Liberals, Democrats, and President Obama believe that only the federal government can be trusted to 'fix' things. Conservatives, Republicans, and Bobby Jindal believe that the individual citizens can do far more than they ever conceived if they put their minds to it.

Who do YOU trust? The federal government? Or the people?

OBAMA MAY ANNOUNCE RUNNING MATE TODAY

Rumors are swirling around Washington that today may be the day that Barack Obama announces his choice for a running mate.

One source claims that the Senator will make the announcement the first thing this morning.

Many believe that Delaware Senator Joe Biden is the odds-on favorite to run with Obama. Biden would be a good choice. He is strong in areas where Obama is weak, particularly in foreign policy.

But don't be fooled by Biden's 'good guy' image. He is a classic Democratic liberal who has made a practice of supporting everything conservatives, libertarians, and traditional Christians deplore.

Meanwhile, others believe that Obama will choose a wild card--someone who has not been publicly discussed as a potential running mate. My initial guess is that this option is probably more likely than Biden being chosen.

And then, Obama could potentially totally shake up the entire campaign in 2008 by choosing Hillary Clinton. The Party faithful would no doubt be wildly energized by this choice, but it would certainly bode ill for a potential Obama Presidency. And the candidate, and his wife, know it.

With the Democratic National Convention just around the corner, Obama has almost run out of time to make his announcement.

On the Republican side, John McCain is also running out of time. With the GOP Convention several weeks away, he has more breathing room than Obama, but time is of the essence.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindel, a rising star within the GOP, took himself out of the running on Monday by saying unequivocally that he has the job he wants and that he will not be McCain's choice.

Jindel has made the right decision. The experience being Governor will help him in the long run, and for someone with Jindel's personality, energy, and popularity, being a VP will certainly be beneath his level of gifts. Give him time, and this guy will be running for President in either 2012 or 2016.

This leaves McCain with Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, former Governor Tom Ridge, Senator Joe Lieberman, and Florida Governor Charlie Crist among those on the candidate's short list.
