The Best of New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie

I'm going make this a sticky because i don't want it to get buried 90 pages deep. This man is going to go somewhere in American politics. I don't care what your ideology or nationality is, this man speaks from the gut and doesn't pull punches. He doesn't fill you full of shit like most politicians do. This man is going to be a game changer here in the USA in the coming years on a national level.

Governor Christie gives his comments on New Jersey's loss of federal aid because of a simple error in their report to Dept. of Education.

Now THIS is what I'm talking about!!! This is EXACTLY the kind of politician I really like. He says what he means and means what he says. He doesn't pussyfoot around, he doesn't obfuscate - he says it directly and frankly. We need a LOT more politicians like this.

It's funny because were I the communication's director for a politician this is exactly how I would counsel that politician to speak.

It has been my most heartfelt wish that a politician like this would appear on the scene. This is a wish come true.

Post more Tex!

This is the most exciting thing I have seen in politics in my entire life! This guy is unbelievable... if the RNC doesn't convince this guy to run in 2012, or give it a damn good try, the entire committee should be fired!

That's right. Of course, you know how the media would treat that run.

And Christie's responses to them would be the stuff of legend! I could watch this guy all day. It is unbelievably refreshing to hear a politician say what he means and mean what he says and to not give answers that obfuscate or dodge direct questions. Damn, I pray this guy is actually convinced to run.

An absolutely brilliant interview. Christie shows that he is very adept at staying on message while never failing to address a question head on. This guy is a genius.

Again... pure genius... this is exactly what I would counsel a politician in his position to say. This guy is on fire! The more of these clips I see the more I think this guy would be an ideal presidential candidate.

Whaddaya know... Chris Christie has a sense of humor too!

Yeah, he can be funny. I think it's a Noo Yawk thing (even though he's a Jersey guy).

Just what it says. But the older versions of FF, the whole browser would crash. They fixed it so that all you get is that warning. Just reload the page when that happens and they should work fine.
