Bobby Jindal's Win Makes Me Porud

Alright I know some of you are wondering what I am smoking and some of you might also be wondering where you can get some but when I talk about my being proud it is as an Indian-American and not as a Democrat. I know Jindal is about as conservative as one can get, but as an Indian-American I am very proud. As you know Indian-Americans are the richest minority group in the US. We tend to do well for ourselves here in areas such as IT and Medicine and Engineering, however when it comes to politics not soBobby Jindal looks like he might change all that. By winning in LA he has opened the door for fellow Indians-Americans to get involved in politics. Plus the fact that he is super smart doesn't hurt either I mean just look at this resume.

He attended high school at Baton Rouge Magnet High School. In 1991, he graduated from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, with honors in biology and public policy. Afterwards, he received a master's degree in political science from New College, Oxford as a Rhodes scholar. After Oxford, he joined McKinsey & Company, a consulting firm. In 1995, U.S. Congressman Jim McCrery (R-LA) introduced his former aide (Jindal) to Republican Governor Murphy J. Foster, Jr. Foster subsequently appointed Jindal, then aged twenty-four, to be Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health & Hospitals, an agency then representing about 40 percent of the state's budget; he served from 1996 to 1998. From 1998 to 1999, he was executive director of the National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare. He was also the youngest-ever president of the University of Louisiana System between 1999 and 2001. Newly-elected President George W. Bush appointed him Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services for Planning and Evaluation; he held that post from July 9, 2001 to February 21, 2003.

Plus he delivered his own kid that got to take some brainpower.There is also the concern about Indian-Americans about is it possible for us to get elected, in other words will our skin color hurt us. A legitimate concern but if an Indian-American can win in LA where can't we win. much.
