Slamming the US President for talking too much, Indian-American Governor Bobby Jindal has said the policies of the Obama administration will send more jobs to countries like India and China.

"The President said he didn't want us to fall behind countries like Brazil, China, India. But, I'll tell you what, if they pursue card check and cap and trade and this massive health care bill and more government borrowing and more government taxes, we will be sending even more good paying American jobs to those countries," Jindal told the Fox News.

US President Barack Obama on Thursday said he will slash tax breaks to American firms that move jobs abroad.

"To encourage... businesses to stay within our borders, it is time to finally slash the tax breaks for companies that ship our jobs overseas, and give those tax breaks to companies that create jobs right here in the United States of America," he said in his first State of Union
address.

Jindal, who is the first Indian-American Governor and one of the rising stars of the opposition Republican Party, said the problem they think is just a communications problem.

Jindal said Obama's whole speech was filled with contradictions.
