Celtictrader, Bill Maher was on Leno last night, and among other things, he was making fun of Chris Christie's weight. Which is curious since I never saw him make fun of Michael Moore's weight. And Michael Moore arguably looks more like a slob, unlike Christie who dresses pretty well. Tenchusatsu

Christie said he delivered “three balanced budgets with lower taxes.” Actually, he cut the state Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income residents and the popular property-tax rebate program for renters and homeowners. It’s a matter of interpretation whether those are tax hikes or spending reductions. A proposed 10 percent income tax cut hasn’t been enacted. He said he took on public-sector unions to reform a pension system “headed to bankruptcy” and “saved retirees their pension.” That’s accurate as far as it goes. But the state is not fully funding the revamped system, and the pension liabilities gap will begin to grow again. Regarding teachers, Christie said he ended “the guarantee of a job for life regardless of performance.” That’s correct. Christie worked with a Democratic Legislature to make significant changes to the tenure system — even providing a path to fire tenured teachers with negative evaluations. And the worst part......none of what crap he's pulled in NJ has benefited the state. NJ is like 48th in unemployment and 46th in GDP growth. And he is a self serving piglet.............he's the keynote speaker and barely mentions the candidate........instead, greasing the skids for his 2016 presidential bid. The best part........how is a man that overweight going to run a national presidential campaign when he needs a car to carry him a 100 yds to his son's soccer game.

The pugnacious former prosecutor exaggerated a bit, though, when he bragged about his accomplishments as governor, I have issues with Christie.......but there is not a politician alive that could put New Jersey's affairs in order in one term. Corzine was the worse governor in NJ history. His mismanagement alone will take at least a decade to unwind. Without Christie.....NJ would be in worse shape than California. Christie still faces an unfinished monumental job. If NJ throws him out.....they deserve what they get.
