New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said President Barack Obama needs to “get in and lead” to avert a U.S. government shutdown as Congress grapples over a spending plan.
“It would be a failure of everyone involved, of the Congress and the president, if they don’t get this done,” Christie, 48, said in excerpts of an interview with “ABC World News” scheduled to air today.
“Shutdown is a failure of everybody, including the president,” Christie said. “Because in the end, we’re here to stand up for principles, to say the things that we believe in, but we’re also here to lead and run a government.”
During the interview Christie also said he doesn’t plan to challenge Obama for the White House in the 2012 election.

And speaking of govt. workers, today's graphic of the day:
Next Obama will want more government employees to prevent forest fires. Then we can hire more government employees to prevent tropical storms, and more to prevent tornados. And, when there is a drought he can hire more to do a rain dance. To ensure tenure they all have to be kept on payroll when it rains because it may stop raining and let's give them all pensions whem they turn 40 because they can't dance any more because they all sat around all day when iit was raining and they all got fat and stupid because they had no other skills besides rain dancing.

Nope, don't think we should hire more troops. Bring them home, have them help put out the forest fires. Our troops are highly skilled and motivated. But I don't think they should be fighting someone elses war either.

Forrest fires are an essential element to Earth.
We've battled and contained so many that we likely have sowed the seeds for much worse future fires.
Redwoods for example, the seeds are so tough they only open in the heat of fire.
Sorry but for all the "idiots" who keep parking their trailer home in tornado alley and expect a new outcome, the same can be said for million dollar kindling homes in the woods.

Karl Rove said the speech was "very well done"

Christie was fantastic. The people criticizing are the extreme right wing and the extreme left wing. So you have Matthews in the same camp as the extreme right.
Why is Matthew's only true hero a dead president who was a philanderer, none of whose offspring and relatives has ever lived up to anything? No one alive is good enough or Matthews?

S&P Revises State Outlook to Negative, as Fed Official Offers Tepid Assessment...
...More fuel was added to a debate over Gov. Chris Christie's handling of the state budget Tuesday, with Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowering its outlook on the state's debt to negative from stable, and a Federal Reserve official offering a lukewarm assessment of the state's recovery from the recession..."
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is raising record cash for his re-election bid. A November landslide may help heal rifts with fellow Republicans and boost his standing as a possible candidate for president in 2016.
In December, before Democrats had even rallied around a candidate, Christie had amassed almost as much as he raised in the entire 2009 primary. He has since begun an out-of-state fundraising swing, with an event last month at Facebook Inc. (FB) co- founder Mark Zuckerberg%u2019s California home and an appearance last week in Wisconsin with Governor Scott Walker.

The zaftig man rocks (he lost a few pounds recently).
Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey won re-election by a crushing margin on Tuesday, a victory that vaulted him to the front ranks of Republican presidential contenders and made him his party’s foremost proponent of pragmatism over ideology.
Mr. Christie declared that his decisive win should be a lesson for the nation’s broken political system and his feuding party: In a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by over 700,000, Mr. Christie won a majority of the votes of women and Hispanics and made impressive inroads among younger voters and blacks — groups that Republicans nationally have struggled to attract.
“I know that if we can do this in Trenton, N.J., then maybe the folks in Washington, D.C., should tune in their TVs right now and see how it’s done,” Mr. Christie told a packed crowd at Convention Hall in Asbury Park, where his musical idol, Bruce Springsteen, holds holiday concerts, and where red and blue lighting gave the gathering a presidential campaign-like glow.
