Bobby Jindal CPAC: Governor Speaks At Annual Conservative Conference

Jindal Speaks At CPAC

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) addressed the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday.

Though he spoke on some major current issues like gun control and sequestration, Jindal's speech wasn't entirely new. HuffPost's Elise Foley reports:

Jindal's speech, largely recycled from earlier remarks, argued that Republicans are taking the wrong tack by focusing on government budgets and spending.

He repeated an attack of his party's fixation on the budget, dismissing, although not by name, those like Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that have make fiscal hawkishness a key part of their political personas.

"This obsession with zeroes has everyone in our party focused on what? The government," he said. "By obsessing with zeroes on the budget spreadsheet, we send a not-so-subtle signal that the focus of our economy is the phony economy of Washington, D.C., instead of the real economy out in Billings or in Baton Rouge."
