BREAKING NEWS: Bobby Jindal Drops Out of 2016 Presidential Race Bobby Jindal just announced that he is dropping out of the 2016 presidential race. Jindal thanked his supporters in a Facebook post that reads: I cannot tell you what an honor it has been to run for President of the United States of America. My parents came to this country 45 years ago searching for freedom and a chance. When I was born, we lived in student housing at LSU, and never in their wildest dreams did they think their son would have the opportunity to serve as Governor of Louisiana or to run for President. They raised me to believe Americans can do anything, and they were right, we can. But this is not my time, so I am suspending my campaign for President. One of the things I will do is go back to work at the think tank I started a few years ago where I will be outlining a blueprint for making this the American century. We must show the way forward on growing our economy and winning the war against terror, and especially defeating radical Islam. I realize that our country is off on the wrong track right now. Everyone knows that, but dont forget, this is still the greatest country in the history of the world and every single one of us should start every day by thanking God that we are fortunate enough to be US citizens. We wish him the best and thank him for fighting for this nation.
