NJ Gov Christie goes into lion’s den, steals lions’ teeth and claws.
CJC: First of all, the President had a democratic congress for the first two years and he frittered it away. He frittered it away… And then all the sudden now he is complaining his Presidency is not a success because he has had a year, a year, of Republicans?
JS: Not even a year!
CJC: I mean a year in a couple of weeks. I mean cry me a river already… lead …and do your job!
Earlier in the same Morning Joe set, Christie ripped into Obama’s Kansas speech, in which The One attempted and failed to wear Teddy Roosevelt’s monocle pince-nez.
N.J. GOV. CHRIS CHRISTIE: Let me tell you something… I saw you guys going wild over that speech … in Kansas…
MIKA BRZEZINSKI, ‘MORNING JOE’ CO-HOST: oh it was fabulous, I loved it!
CJC: Let me tell you something… that was such a ridiculous … problem filled pander.. for Barack ,who is probably the weakest President I’ve seen in my life time.
MB: Really …
CJC: He has no idea how to use executive power. To stand up and udder [sic] his name in the same breath as Teddy Roosevelt? Are you kidding? And for him to sit there and say some of the things … that he said, it’s time for us to step up… Step up our game… it’s time to meet the moment? Well you know what Mr. President… We have been waiting for you to meet the moment for 3 years!
MB: OK! That’s so easy for you to say Chris..
CJC: So meet the moment!
CJC: Why is that so easy for me to say? I’ve had to face much tougher things in NJ from a political perspective than he has. I have a state that is overwhelming democratic … I have a legislature that is overwhelmingly democratic … YET we have accomplished the things I mentioned before. PLUS balancing two budgets without raising taxes on the people of New Jersey… we’ve now created 60,000 new private sector jobs since I’ve been governor before that ( of course) we lost 116,000 private jobs in the last year of Jon Corzine. AND, as of today… NJ state government has less employees than when Christie Whitman left office in 2001. So, we have made government smaller, we have made it smarter, we’ve made it less expensive for people and we’ve done that with a democratic legislature.
I know he doesn’t want the job, but Christie would make an excellent vice presidential nominee. During the campaign, the veep role is to function as the attack dog while the presidential nominee stays above the fray. Who would be better, no matter who the nominee is, at attacking Obama on substance than Chris Christie?

TR didn’t wear a monocle; he wore pince-nez.
This is what I love about Christie. He’s able to immediately articulate his gut reaction.
Are you in France or Quebec, Akat? TR wore a pinch nose.
Um, it’s even called a pince-nez by English speakers. Duh.
Christie as VP would be a complete waste of talent.
First, it would not likely bring key voters to a ticket that included Romney or Gingrich.
Second, he doesn’t need the grooming for a higher position and he plays a poor second fiddle.
Third, the job BEST suited for him…might be Attorney General. He can go after all the scoundrels, root out the 113 small c communists recently cemented there and can investigate all the corruption that has taken place over the last three years.
Let Rubio be the VP. He is smooth, articulate, on his game…and the grooming would be a wonderful thing for him. He could widen the attraction of the ticket and after 8 years would be in a perfect position to take over the top of the ticket.
Mika Brzezinski’s unique blend of partisanship and stupidity never fails to astound.
Don’t forget the malice. Some of the looks that cross her face make me want to brandish a cross and I’m an agnostic.
– to watch the Governor educate Princess Mika.
Id love to date her unless she opened her mouth!
“MIKA BRZEZINSKI, ‘MORNING JOE’ CO-HOST: oh it was fabulous, I loved it!”
Obama’s Kansas speech, as all of his speeches have been, was pure socialist rhetoric. The theme was ‘taking’ from some and ‘giving’ to others premised on the existence of ‘the undeserving rich’ and the poor exploited masses. Not one word about personal responsibility or self-reliance, except to denigrate those qualities. That speech could have easily come out of the mouth of lenin or marx or chavez or castro……..
Fabulous huh? Fabulous in the same way the piles my dog leaves on the floor are fabulous. Now that I think about it, Mika is fabulous in the same way. You think you might want to date her Clamdigger53? I have never raised my hand or even my voice to a woman in my life, but spending time around her would probably change that. What a piece of…….
