Heckuva job, Bobby

From the NOLA.com coverage of today's townhall:

1:15 p.m. President Obama is in the building, welcomed with a raucous ovation. The crowed did not extend the same pleasantries to some of the other notable attendees. Obama introduced Gov. Bobby Jindal, who drew scattered boos.

"Don't worry, Bobby, I get that all the time."

He added that Jindal "is working hard for this state."

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin drew a mix of cheers and boos, prompting the president to say, "This is a fiesty crowd."


All Obama had to do was refrain from the "Bobby is working hard for this state" line and his reaction would have been perfectly gracious without also being a stupid conciliatory lie. Sometimes I really question whether or not the President has any clue what he's doing.
