Gov. Christie To Obama And Congress: Get This Done, Americans ‘Don’t Want To Be Distracted By This Bickering’

Video
» 32 comments

In a curiously presidential sounding address, New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie provided advice to Republicans and Democrats in Congress who refuse to compromise and to President Obama who has yet to put a plan in writing. Citing his own bi-partisan legislative success in New Jersey, Christie warned everyone “you can’t lead from behind” and that now was the time to get this debt negotiation complete.

Christie offered some general words of wisdom to politicians in Washington:

“I’d encourage all of them to step up to the plate and get this done. The American people . . . they’ve got jobs to do and they don’t want to be distracted by this bickering.”

And more directly, Christie focused on Obama, suggesting that now is the time for him lay all his cards on the table since “there is no substitute for executive leadership and that means taking risk.” Given that most Republican presidential candidates have been hesitant to loudly sound off on the debt debate, Christie’s willingness to jump fully into the fray certainly seems notable.

    “I’d encourage all of them to step up to the plate and get this done.”

    If there is anyone who knows about stepping up to a plate it’s Chris Christie.

    Christie would mop the floor with the fraud poseur Obama during an election campaign and debate, and that’s something I’d gladly pay good money to watch.

    Obummers goose is cooked. People left and right pressuring him to come to the plate. Offer your plan mr. President. That’s right he doesn’t have a plan, because his in way over his head. People are tired of (leading from behind) when you are supped to be way out in front. The only way this bum gets reelected is everyone goes blind in the voting booth.

    Amazing!!! When you leftists can’t win an argument intellectually, go to the fat jokes! Tolerance for leftists only exists for those who agree with them.

    I mean really, by the lefts own thinking, it’s not Crisite’s fault he’s fat, it’s McDonalds, and trans fats, and “big food”, and not enough regulation, etc….. So why are you lefties making fun of him. It’s not his fault!

    I’d have to agree with you……in this age of being ‘Exstremely Disrespectful’… Gov.Christie’s ‘shoot-from-the-hip-in-your-face-smile-because-the-pain-is-whats-neccessary’ approach is the ‘New Political Game’ in town!  If nothing else….he has stood by what he says and does, whether you agree or not!

    Really?  This fat, sloppy, pock marked faced, fake ass, Tony Soprano wannabe who suggested that reporters take a bat to a female state Senator in her 70′s if I’m not mistaken, has the nerve to dip his fat, funky toe into this debate?  You’re out of your league govenor crispy cream, which is why you don’t have the gnads to run against Obama. At least you recognize that Obama would crush your fat ass, which is the real reason why he’s you’re too afraid to run against him.  Well, that and the fact that finally, the idiots in my home state who voted for this puss have finally come to see the error of their ways.  As evidenced by his 43 % approval ratings in a recent  poll vs 56% disapproval rating.  What a joke this blimp is.  He’s disgusting and would never win the presidency.  Have another calzone govenor and keep sweating.  It’s what you do best!

    LOL Christie is so fat! Like, OMG! Fat! Fattie fat fat fat!

    Fat jokes  – the true sign that Democrats have won the battle of ideas.

  • http://twitter.com/Good_Lt Good Lt.

    Enlighten everyone as to what he did as a US Attorney – like putting corrupt Democrats and Republicans in prison.

    Go ahead. Tell us all – include details and show your work.

    Ladies and gentlemen, if you ever wanted to see what blind, slavish devotion to a false political idol and his failed agenda do to the mind of what was once perhaps an intelligent person, look no further than the inane rants of “ProObamaAgenda.” Like the one above.

    Sad, really.

  • http://twitter.com/Good_Lt Good Lt.

    So do public sector unions.

    And Obamacrats.

    “This fat, sloppy, pock marked faced, fake ass, Tony Soprano wannabe”

    Once again, fat jokes are all the left has against this guy.

    You can tell by the way they try to “get nasty” that they really fear him.

    They cite his approval ratings like they mean something, and ignore that their own President has a higher disapproval rating than approval rating.

    Blinded by hate and loathing for those who think differently than they do, they march endlessly on, never knowing what they’re saying or how they come off to normal people.

    Yeah, he’s pretty familiar with getting things done, too. Baracky should take his advice.

    POA’s just pissed because Christie locked his daddy up. Or was it his stepdaddy? I don’t know and POA doesn’t either.

    Like how he’s got the good old working guys standing in the background as a photo op. As if he gives a cats ass about them.  And the gal next to him that’s so bored with what he’s saying, she’s chatting to someone else of to the side.  What a joke. Christie needs to do some serious thinking about his obesity, instead of politics for a while. If he doesn’t, he might not be around to make another speech.

    I think this crispy-kream-eating meathead really needs to step up to the PLATE and jump into (if he can) the GOP pres. race to be totally trashed by his fellow GOPers….FATSO doesn’t stand a chance.

    Another Republican Establishment favorite.  He also presides over one of the least 2d Amendment-friendly states in the Union, and I haven’t heard a word about him trying to change that.  If he were to get into the race, he would last about as long as it took the Republican electorate to find out what he really is.

    You can’t really be serious and believe what you posted. I mean is there something wrong with you mentally?  You sound deranged and quite dangerous.Are you currently in prison?
