| Geez ... it's becoming quite apparent that Governor PBJ is increasingly desperate not to give President Obama ANYTHING to crow about when he campaigns for re-election in 2012 ... at least with respect to Louisiana.
First, the Governor lambasted the Recovery Act, known in Jindal-speak as the "a nearly trillion-dollar stimulus that has not stimulated."
Then we learned that the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development would not be putting up the ubiquitous yellow signs along highway construction informing us of the funding source, supposedly to save money. But as Walter Pierce of The Ind informs us:
When asked why DOTD used similar signage for highway projects funded through state surplus money, the spokesman replied, "But we put up really cheap signs."
Uhhhhh-huh. Or perhaps the Jindal Administration is making sure that the federal gummint, and by extension, President Obama, gets no credit for anything positive in the Gret Stet.
Further evidence of this goal of the PBJ Administration is the fact that the Governor just went on a barn-stormin', 64 parish tour of the Gret Stet, handing out gigundous checks signed by him for stimulating programs, funded, in part by the "nearly trillion dollar stimulus that has not stimulated."
Now, after Governor PBJ was named the one of the world's worst people for his hypocrisy on high speed rail - specifically blasting it in his National Response, only to have his Administration inform the feds that they might want high speed rail funds for a line between New Orleans and Baton Rouge - we learn that the Governor is indeed, not in favor of high-speed rail in Louisiana.
Pity ... the real losers are the people of Louisiana, thanks to Governor PBJ.
