Jindal Slams Obama For Raising 'White Flag Of Surrender'
WASHINGTON: Louisiana's Indian-American governor, a potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate, has accused President Barack Obama of "waving the white flag of surrender" on the economy by focusing on a limited set of executive actions.
"I think there are things we can do instead of waving the white flag of surrender, instead of declaring this economy to be a minimum wage economy," he said emerging with a group of governors from a meeting Monday with Obama that stressed bipartisan cooperation.
I think our economy, I think America can do better," said Jindal, who is term-limited and is considering a White House run in 2016.
Slamming Obama for his executive order raising the minimum wage for federal contractors to $10.10 per hour, he said that's the wrong place for the White House to be focusing its energies.
"The Obama economy is now the minimum wage economy. I think we can do better than that, I think America can do better than that," Jindal said suggesting that the president rein in regulations and expand drilling on federal lands to boost economic growth.
