I don't think that using a diminutive version of his name prevented Theodore Roosevelt from being taken seriously any more than his congenital heart condition prevented him from living a life of action.

As to the gist of your comment, if there was one, those are just names. They say nothing whatsoever about the men themselves. Your notion was that if Bobby Jindalh wanted to seek higher office then he should never have gone by the name "Bobby." My comment indicated that that alone is no bar whatsoever to winning higher office. It was not support for your stupidity. Your pettiness over something so nit-picky leads me to believe that you had some particularly unpleasant grammar school experiences on the playground over your own name. Or perhaps you are a failed politician with no friendly sounding "populist" first name? John Kerry, is that you? concept. As to the gist of your comment, if there was one, those are just names.

The man's a disgrace, but you can't deny that he has been successfully re-elected for decades now. If this is all you've got, then here's one for you: Did you take your user name from the Latin rhetorician or did you take it from the convicted Swedish killer? Just curious.

We already had a President Jimmy, not to mention Bill! The point is that Jindal should never have entered politics going by "Bobby" if he wanted to play with the big kids. Faux populism leaves me cold: that includes "Mitch" "Mike" and "Mitt" as well. "Ronnie" Reagan anybody? And if the contradiction puzzles you, recall that "Jimmy" ran against Ford, and Baby-Boomer Clinton ran against aging WWII vets, both of whom ran terrible campaigns. "Bobby" should not be nominated by Republicans for national office. He can stay in Louisiana, if they like him there. John Boehner, John Kasich (N.B. not "Johnny") Thaddeus McCotter (not "Thad") or of course Palin have a better shot at restoring respect and honor to the office: their personalities match a seriousness of name. But they need to start speaking out now! Try to be nice!

And don’t tell me he is in Louisiana! No supposed adult named “Bobby” has a chance.

No supposed adult who thinks like that should speak and remove all doubt.

I still wonder why they nominated John McCain, when he demonstrably was their worst choice against either Hillary or Nobraina. John Boehner and today Thaddeus McCotter have done something, but they are overwhelmed by Nobraina's media minions spreading AgitProp. And they are overwhelmed by Moron Republicans voting with Democrats! Where is Palin? Where is Romney? Where is our 21st Century Reagan? And don't tell me he is in Louisiana!
