Jindal: Obama Is the First President Who Truly Doesn’t Believe in American Exceptionalism

‘Jimmy Carter was incompetent, but at least he believed in America’

“It is inconceivable to me. I think we have first president who truly does not believe in America's exceptionalism ...
We've had incompetent presidents ...Jimmy Carter was incompetent but at least he believed in America and it is scary to me, you've got the president -- and it is not just about the America.

Remember, this was the president who went to the national Prayer Breakfast and tried to bring up the Crusades, and tried to say, 'Who we as Christians are to be talking about others.' You know, it is amazing to me. He's is the commander-in-chief. He's the president. I'd love for him to say what my parents believe which is this is the greatest country in the history of the world. My parents came over 40 years ago half way across the world. They've never been on a plane before and they knew in their bones that this was an amazing place with freedom and opportunity.

I'd love for you to be able to play -- and they don't exist -- but I'd love there to be so many clips of this president telling the world what a great country America is. Reagan described us a shining city on the hill. And you are right, he's always apologizing. He's always criticizing. He's bringing up Crusades.

And what you don't seem to hear from him is, ‘Here is the threat of radical Islamic terrorism. They are evil.' You don't hear him calling up the Muslim leaders saying specifically that they condemn by name these individuals. Say they are not martyrs. They are not gonna enjoy their award in their afterlife ad that they will go straight to hell. I'd like him to say that.

He's our commander-in-chief and he's a leader of the American people. He's really supposed to be leader of the free world."
