Indian-American governor and a potential 2016 presidential
contender, has blamed "leaders across the board"
for the
federal government's shut down, saying politicians and
chiefly
President Barack Obama have failed to solve "big
challenges".
"I
think the American people look at what's happening in
D C and see that leaders across the board are not doing what
they were elected to do," 42-year-old Jindal said.
He also
lamented that national politicians and chiefly
President Obama were "not solving the big challenges,
the
structural challenges, facing our country."
In a
briefing for reporters at the Republican Governors
Association headquarters yesterday, Jindal, a potential 2016
White House contender, repeatedly declined to say how much
blame he apportions to Congress in general, or House
Republicans in particular.
He said
that he shares the congressional Republican's
firm opposition to the Affordable Care Act, and that only
"structural changes" to the legislative branch of
government
will produce better results for voters.
"It's
not just a matter of who's in leadership or
personalities or who's in power," he said.
The bitter
budget standoff between Democrats and
Republicans has pushed the US government's shutdown into the
third day, a crisis that can cost the ailing economy
billions.
The two
parties failed to strike a deal before the
October 1 deadline on spending and budget due to differences
over 'Obamacare', the signature healthcare programme of
President Obama. For More Information, Please Visit:
