So typical Christie, blame the little guy again

No one speaks "truth" to lack of power like Chris Christie. What is driving the debt "entitlement programs such as Medicare, the health insurance plan for seniors, that are driving much of America's debt problem."

Really? That war, the other war. The huge tax cuts to the rich, all the other tax cuts to the rich. Those have nothing to do with it. All the corporate welfare that isn't driving debt. Just old people and poor people? That's the keen kind of economic insight a person 4th in unemployment rate might sum up.

Christie suggested that Obama is more interested in being popular than in making tough decisions.

Really? Obama is now popular? The whole point of your convention is he isn't popular. So which is it? We like Obama, or we don't. Well one thing is for sure I want a president that does stupid things I won't like and is personally a bully and a jerk so I won't like them. Yes the best politicians are unlikable *, the new GOP 2012 theme.

"Our problems are big and the solutions will not be painless," Christie said. "We all must share in the sacrifice. Any leader that tells us differently is simply not telling the truth."

Your party motto is I built this myself, and don't raise my taxes. During the war your party told me to not to pay a lot of taxes, not to sacrifice and for god sake do some shopping. So the whole share and sacrifice seems missing.

It takes leadership that you don't get from reading a poll

So pretty much your opinion and thought mean nothing to him. Christie's message to you is; you are stupid, I will tell you what to do, think. * you and your opinion, after all he's job is to work as your elected representative, so of course you don't matter.

So pretty much a typical meh Christie speech. It's popular if you, like Christie, hate someone that will stand up for the poor, the old, minorities, middle class, the upper middle class, unions, children... but love someone that tells these people to suck it up and share the less the I am going to give you while I take the rest for myself. Why is telling everyone you hate them, think very little of them and they are stupid and don't understand what is going on in the country speaking the "truth" to them? That's really inspirational if loud mouth bullying is inspiration. Of course like all bullies he's too afraid to really stand up to the power brokers in his party.
