Chris Christie Offers Advice To Child Running For Sixth Grade Student Council

video
» 51 comments

Here’s something cute. During a town hall meeting in Union, New Jersey, Chris Christie was taking questions and received an interesting one from sixth grader Zack Martini. Martini is running for student council and wanted some campaign advice from the Governor which Christie was happy to give.

Man, Christie gets along so well with kids. It makes sense though. I mean, he can relate to them. After all, they both hate teachers.

Kidding! Kidding!

Anyway, over at The Ticket, they’ve got a rundown of Christie’s advice:

“1) Get a group of friends to tell other people they’re supporting you.
2) Ask people for their vote. Don’t tell them to vote for you. ‘That’s powerful when you do that.’
3) Have colorful posters. If the rules don’t allow that, Christie said, “hang them up until they tell you to take them down.”
4) Don’t make promises you can’t keep. ‘If you do, they won’t be voting for you in seventh grade.’”

It all makes sense and the video is lovely. Still, those of us in the know can’t help but think this is just another step in Christie’s campaign to appease our future child overlords.

Oh well, it’s all still good advice. Watch the clip below:

    #4 Don’t make promised you can’t keep.  Well, Christie didn’t keep his promise when he told the teachers, police and fireman that he would not change their pension.  He lied.  I guess all those workers won’t vote for him again! I guess he doesn’t follow his own advice

    It’s good to see him trying to encourage the young. Well done Christie. 

    Although strange, because when the current President did it, it was considered to be negative and called indoctrination.

    i think we are totally ef’d if he doesn’t get in.

    I sure wish  Christie was running against Homobama.
    He reminds me of Rush Limbaugh….overweight and always right.
    Not fat and stupid like….say……Michael Moore.

    you mean when he needed a telaprompter to address 3rd graders?

    Hello AliveStilKickin!  Excellent joke/play on words wherein you combine President Obama’s name and homosexuality!  How clever!  The fun on the internets is never over!!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_VZ6ZEMR7OJKTOCICKUVD2SCCZI Mark

    Excellent point gr29az!  Obama is soooo dumb!  I bet he can’t even spell teleprompter!

  • Anonymous

    Barack needs the aid of a teleprompter just to ask Michelle if she would strap one on and give it too him……because he was a bad, bad, little boy.

    Lately though she just tells him to go _____ himself and throws him the ‘ fire & ice ‘ gel.

    If only those walls in the Lincoln bedroom could talk……or in Barack’s case scream.

    i don’t recall us right wing extremists criticizing obama for speaking at schools, because that’s standard presidenting (yes, that’s now a word)…  it was unionized hack teachers leading their classes in sing-song praise of obama, of which there are no shortage of videos on youtube, that were rightly criticized of indoctrination…

    Obama won’t be getting voted in for the seventh grade either.

    Good advice for young Zach.  Couldn’t help noticing the guy with the beard behind Christie looking disinterested or waving his program off an on.  Gotta wonder why he bothered attending?

    YAWN!!!

    A pretty little girl named Suzy was standing on the sidewalkin front of her home. Next to her was a basket containing a number of tiny creatures; in her hand was a sign announcing FREE KITTENS. 

    Suddenly a line of big black cars pulled up beside her.
    Out of the lead car stepped a tall, grinning man. ”Hi there little girl, I’m President Obama.
    What do you have in the basket?” he asked. ”Kittens,” little Suzy said. ”How old are they?” asked Obama. Suzy replied, “They’re so young,
    their eyes aren’t even open yet.” ”And what kind of kittens are they?” ”Democrats,” answered Suzy with a smile. Obama was delighted. As soon as he returned to his car,
    he called his PR chief and told him about the
    little girl and the kittens. Recognizing
    the perfect photo op, the two men agreed that the president should
    return the next day; and in front of the assembled media, have the girl
    talk about her discerning kittens. So the next day, Suzy was again standing on the sidewalk
    with her basket of “FREE KITTENS,” when another motorcade pulled up, this time followed by vans from
    ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. Cameras and audio equipment were quickly set up,
    then Obama got out of his limo and walked over to little Suzy. ”Hello, again,” he said, “I’d love it if you would tell all my friends out there what kind of kittens you’re giving away.” ”Yes sir,” Suzy said. “They’re Republicans.” Taken by surprise, the president stammered,
    “But…but…yesterday, you told me they were DEMOCRATS.” 
    Little Suzy smiled and said, “I know.
    But today, they have their eyes open.”

    Try to pick out the liberal idiots in the crowd behind him. It’s not hard. There’s the old harpy in the back, rudely talking on her cellphone, and then you have the fat kid with the amish beard scratching his balding head with papers.

    Jesus, liberals are rude and ugly.

    Meh. Replace Obama with any past president & your “story” still fits.

    Christie’s just one of the many republithug, Koch brother stooges.  He’s doing their bidding and doesn’t give a shit about working people.

    Hmmmm, guess he’s just like all other Politicians then!  They all ‘promise’ what they cant deliver, but honestly, its not their fault…its the People who chose to Not learn the Political Structure of our Government, then maybe they wont fall for such non-sense!

    MMM must have been sleeping when all those mothers were taking their kids out of school and republicans said he was going to indoctrinate them to be socialists.  And every so called video on YouTube (both of them) were explained as part of a celebration of Black history month.  Celebrating the accomplishment of him being the first black President.  ooh, how nefarious! 

  • Ho Li Crap

    The Guest you speak of does not realize he may change the name and believes he’s only a guest to the site.  The liberal guest ….OK , I’m not really sure why he doesn’t pick a real name.  Hell, I do it every day, sometimes twice, pick a new name that is.

  • cdnhawk

    Rush Limbaugh is always right?…good one……you might be AliveStillKickin but your brain is certainly dead!

    So was Rush right when he wrongly insisted for weeks, even after corrected, that Massey Energy’s death mine was a UMWA operation?

  • Bob

    I joke about the guy, but I think everyone, even Democrats like me, know this Christie’s a future president. 
    Disagree with him, but he’s almost impossible to dislike. And he has something your average Republican does not: sanity.

    I know how you feel, brother.

    We already have Northeast RINO’s running.  Stay in New Jersey.  Or get rid of your 2d Amendment violating gun laws and high taxes, then we will consider you.

  • Anonymous

    Ah, the reason I like him…he’s not completely in sync with the Republicans. He’s my kind of fiscal conservative.  That’s the only thing we should be talking about. While he is blunt to the point of turning off some, he tells the truth. We are desperate for the truth and I’d vote for him in a New Jersey second…errr!

  • Texasjo

    Those who critize Christi’s weight, did you ever complain about Michelle Obama’s big butt?
