There’s nothing worse than a leader who will deliberately shut down specific public facilities for political reasons.

So far he has done all the right things explaining his knowledge of the conception and holding the alleged perpetuators accountable with serious actions literally destroying their careers in the political highway. Even if he is found not guilty, it will be a bumpy road winning the publics hearts and minds as everybody can relate to a traffic jam and those annoying orange cones that appear to the driver placed at an inconvenient time. What bugs me is the notable politians and their negative comments only to admit they didn't watch the presser.

He hired and promoted people who sought retribution for political opponents and had that going on for years. We already had Bush and Cheney. Save us from more of the same.

A misuse of power, certainly, but he claims to have cleaned house, with those removed apparently speaking cautiously of their own doings, wrong or otherwise. The next claim is that Christie is and always has been a political bully. Then again, aren't all politicians pressing agendas basically bullies to their opponents? This whole thing screams to me of many outraged hands reaching into their personal tax-payer petty cash drawer and, if so, counter charges may reach further, all to prove that Chris Christie actually is a politician. Hm-m-m... It does seem to be a lot for so little.

I'm inclined to take him at his word until further facts tell me otherwise. He has a reputation as a thug and a bully, but how much of that is slander from his political enemies on both left and right I do not know. He did fire and disgrace two of his aides, ruining their careers. If they really have anything on him they will no doubt use it against him just to save their own ass. I hear one of them already took the Fifth. He said everything I wanted to hear, whether he was telling the truth or not I do not know.
