Republican Congressman Joseph Cao is sending very mixed signals to President Obama. Whether he is playing hard to get, or he is simply undecisive, Cao has left Obama metaphorically waiting by the phone in a prom dress the president may never wear. One minute, Cao is telling the president that he is not that into him, the next he is telling all his friends about the hook up.
Elected by blurring his party and the issues in his predominantly Democratic district, since Mr. Cao went to Washington he has followed his party line on almost every vote. Moreover, he contradicted his wide-eyed Capraesque wonder and curiosity of government by not taking President Obama’s phone calls during the stimulus vote.
According to the Times-Picayune, Louisiana Governor and potential candidate for either Senate or President Bobby Jindal has sealed a book deal. Jindal says the book will be a mix of his life experiences and policy proposals, with a heavy emphasis on combating child molesters. No word yet on how he will find time to write giving his heavy out of state fundraising schedule, but it is assumed most of the book will be written during the upcoming legislative session, where the Governor will not be very occupied, as he is forbidden by law from raising money during the session.
From the John Locke Foundation and the Raleigh News & Observer: Calling him a potential candidate for the 2012 Presidential nomination, free market group welcomes Jindal on February 4th.
From the Advocate: Governor Jindal will ask President-elect Barack Obama to open up federal aid for Louisiana during his meeting with the Obama and fellow Governors in Philadelphia today.
