Bobby Jindal

His real name is Piyush Amrit Jindal but he chose “Bobby” for he identified with Bobby on “The Brady Bunch” television show when he was a boy. When he becomes president, I imagine we’ll call him President Bobby, for most Americans will love this man. He is brilliant, with just the right experience needed for the Oval Office. He makes decisions fast, a characteristic of successful people. As I’ve already said, it seems his strongest trait is common sense, sometimes rare in evidence in Washington. For Congress he has ideas most of you will like, but he left out one thing in their regard. He forgot to say—or maybe it’ll be in another book—that members of Congress should pay into Social Security like the rest of us. But one great idea he offers is that Congress should not be a full-time job for anyone. Isn’t that a great idea? Of course, they won’t have so many bills or committees or breaks as they have now. He’s for the president’s having the line-item veto, and that would cut out earmarks. If anyone can straighten out the mess currently in Washington, I say he’s the one.

I could reveal much more here, but it’s better that you get this short book and read it yourself. It’s Leadership and Crisis.

A postscript here for the foregoing blog: I once read in a book that every couple who would like to stay happily married should read War and Peace once a year. Someone made a joke, naturally, that if they read that every year, they wouldn’t have time to fight.
