Louisiana Governor, and potential 2012 presidential candidate Bobby Jindal, is standing up to President Obama's massive $787 Billion national spending bill, by claiming he may refuse funds from the bill that President Obama signed yesterday in Denver. The Governor has said that the $4 Billion that is being set aside for Louisiana would have to be carefully reviewed before a decision to take or reject the money is made.
Jindal who is already being pushed to run for President by many conservatives, could be setting himself up nicely as the conservative alternative to Obama, should the stimulus package fail to strengthen the economy. Jindal would be telling the taxpayers of Louisiana that, their tax dollars are not best spent by the government, but by the taxpayers themselves.
In addition to his face-off with Obama on the stimulus package, Jindal is also slated to give the GOP response to President Obama's February 24 speech before a joint session of congress.
