The Public Record
American politician and 55th governor of Louisiana (born 1971)
Again, you know, Billy presented his plan yesterday, and he's basically said he hasn't been able to get a response. He's basically said to BP and the Coast Guard, in 24 hours if you don't approve my plan, I'm going to implement it anyway.
It was a huge political, 'I told you so,' when they said you weren't giving enough booms. You weren't doing enough to keep this oil from hitting our shores. It's time for us to take over.
We have been frustrated with the disjointed effort to date that has too often meant too little, too late for the oil hitting our coast. We need folks in each of the vulnerable basins, for example, the Breton Sound, Timbalier, Terrebonne…

This isn't sheen, it's not tar balls. It's deadly, heavy oil in delicate wetlands; dark sheets of it coming under the booms.
Don't let anyone tell you that we cannot recover. Don't let anyone tell you that America's best days are behind her.
Our party is determined to regain your trust. We will do so by standing up for the principles that we share.
We oppose the national Democratic view that says the way to strengthen our country is to increase dependence on government.
We need to bring transparency to Washington, D.C., so we can rid our capital of corruption.
We believe that, with the proper education, the children of America can do anything.
It's irresponsible. And it's no way to strengthen our economy, create jobs, or build a prosperous future for our children.
What it will do is grow the government, increase our taxes down the line, and saddle future generations with debt.
Democratic leaders in Congress, they rejected this approach. Instead of trusting us to make decisions with our own money, they passed the largest government spending bill in history.
The way to lead is by empowering you, the American people, because we believe that Americans can do anything.
All of us want our economy to recover and our nation to prosper. So where we agree, Republicans must be the president's strongest partners. And where we disagree, Republicans have a responsibility to be candid and offer better ideas for a…
Republicans are ready to work with the new president to provide these solutions. Here in my state of Louisiana, we don't care what party you belong to if you have good ideas to make life better for our people.
As the president made clear this evening, we're now in a time of challenge. Many of you listening tonight have lost jobs; others have seen your college and your retirement savings dwindle. Many of you are worried about losing your health…
Democratic leaders in Washington, they place their hope in the federal government. We place our hope in you, the American people. In the end it comes down to an honest and fundamental disagreement about the proper role of government.

If this threatens my state, I'm not going to make my primetime speech at the RNC.
Our state, our local, our federal government is much better prepared than it's ever been before for a storm. But we, as Louisianans, still have personal responsibility.
I certainly would be happy to withdraw the amendment. I look forward to working with the chairman. I thank him for his interest in improving the ability of NOAA and to predict the accuracy and intensity of hurricanes as they form along the…
Absolutely. The amendment doesn't do this. But, for example, $7.9 million could be taken from the Job Corps construction and renovation fund. From the Job Corps administration fund, $14 million could be taken. From the community service…
The amendment actually increases and reduces funding, so it's more to indicate an intent. But as an example, what I offered as an example was it would be possible to fund this amendment from accounts, for example, from the increase in the…
The underlying bill prevents the preferences that we have listed in this motion to recommit. This would direct the housing authority to give preference to those that meet the requirements.
Politicians like Bobby Jindal
