NJ Gov. Chris Christie Releases Video Of His Accomplishments So Far, But Why…

video
» 16 comments

When Sarah Palin released her “Mama Grizzlies” ad a week and a half ago, pundits were buzzing about how much it looked like a presidential campaign ad. Well, today, another star of the GOP released a polished looking YouTube video, y’know, just because. This time the video is from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and it’s entitled “How Do You Like New Jersey Now?” That’s a strange title. it doesn’t sound like something you’d be asking people from New Jersey exactly. It’s almost as if the video is directed at the rest of America…for some reason…

Videos of Christie being released over the past few months have had many Republicans throughout the country fairly enchanted. One of the most popular videos showed him shouting down an angry teacher who wasn’t happy with his proposed budget cuts. Videos like that have made him a pretty divisive figure, alternately being called a bully and a hero. This most recent video features no yelling, just a happy rock song in the background and cute cartoon arrows. Now that his tough guy persona has captured some conservative devotees, this softer image might be just the trick to scoop up the rest.

So, is this video a sign of things to come? Only time will tell.

    Ahh geezzz.. You guys see a Presidential Candidate
    around every corner.
    I guess the Left is dying to get some serious names,
    to start the Hit Files & character assassination efforts.
    With all the Soros $$ the Chicago style offers some can’t refuse,,,
    last min scandals & excitement not to mention MSMedia in the pockets of Left,,
    it will be tough….
    but i just don’t think it’s going to help the Dem’s get elected this time.

    Because his favorable poll number is less than Obamas???

  • tiredofbs

    Actually I’d love to see comparison #’s on Obama vs Christie 2012

    The video in that link is really your definition of “shouting down and angry teacher”? The only one shouting was the teacher.

    Jon, if you think that was shouting, you must be the most thin-skinned man in America.

    Then why were you whining about money, bitch. You can’t live on $86 thousand fucking dollars a year???

    I don’t blame Christie for putting out videos to reach voters. As a Republican, he certainly can’t count on the mainstream media to tell voters what he is doing for them. Christie is vigilantly batting the entrenched interests who are feeding off the public trough, and without his intervention New Jersey would be heading straight to bankruptcy.

    But the leftwing press won’t tell you that, since they have been pushing for more and more deficit spending since before any of us were born. They are aligned with the people spending the taxpayers’ money, while Christie is aligned with the taxpayers. So he has no choice but to take his message directly to the people.

    “One of the most popular videos showed him shouting down an angry teacher who wasn’t happy with his proposed budget cuts. Videos like that have made him a pretty divisive figure, alternately being called a bully and a hero.”

    Christie was using a microphone…no need to shout…Perhaps the TRUTH of what Christie was saying was foreign to your brain?

    It’s foreign to Jon that a politician would have good news….Christie CUT SPENDING, CUT TAXES and did it with a DEMOCRAT MAJORITY – is your keyboard broken Jon???? it’s called

    >>>>>>>>>> BIPARTISANSHIP <<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    One sane man that does not believe in kicking the can down the street

    vs

    a gaggle of tax and spend Democrats!

    whew!! maybe there's hope for America afterall???

    Shouting down = telling someone what they don’t want to hear. Sort of like quoting verbatim = smearing. Assuming, in both cases, that you’re a Republican.

  • yweston

    Christie would “kick” Pay-lins a$$ in a debate. He probably doesn’t even think she “Purty”. He’s a real bastard and is letting her know “don’t get your hopes up” M00siah,

    I can’t stand him and I would take him over “Ms. Crazy eyest any day”.

  • yweston

    @felixw

    You don’t know what you’re talking about. The Press in N.J. loves Christie. You can find “tons” of positive and supportive press about “Christie in the New Jersey Courier Post and Newark Star Ledger”

    Just more “right wing” stupidity” popping out of your mouth.

  • Azarkhan

    In case anyone missed it (not talking to Leftists, of course) below is the video that went viral and started conservative buzz about Christie.

    America hasn’t seen a fat man run for president since William Howard Taft. Perhaps this fat man’s time has come. Of course, SNL will have a ball.

    @dowdydaytrader

    Christie got the Dems to go along with him because he called their majority leader and told him he is willing to work with them if he can get (8) or (9) Dem votes. They gave him the votes and he agreed to compromise instead of shoving his B.S. down their throats.
    That is why Christie got his budget. The same way as President Obama. A BACK ROOM DEAL!!!

    I love this man, he is so gutsy, so self confident & is doing all the right things. Can it be true? Do we FINALLY have a man WORKING for our state? Look, I will comment on some things that others would hold back on, here is a man “grossly overweight” with a face that would make females’ hearts flutter (sorry, Mrs. Christie) & he has this fantastic courage to stand up on that podium with the gift of gab that would make Obama envious. (I can assure you he is not using a teleprompter) Now, you wonder why would I make such a comment..because I am concerned about his health, I remember Mayor Rizzo of Philadelphia many years ago, who was the first on the scene when an officer went down, or if there was any threat to his city (not like some Mayors I know) & he died due to his poor health (eating habits) If Christie can lose the weight (and it does matter, there are already mean jokes about it) he would be able to compete with the best or should I say the REST,, because lately there are no BEST men in government. It’s all about looks & intelligence, I’m sorry to say. He will keep on getting rave reviews regardless of “how” he looks; however the man is handsome, if only he can slow down on the excessive dinners, fast food meals, etc. (I know this will be hard while governing, but think of how this man will look, he’d be a shoo in for the PRESIDENCY! If Obama could win & it was only because McCain was no match..err. well, I hate to say it but..he doesn’t make a good appearance and NOWADAYS looks & age counts. Governor Christie I am speaking to you as your Mom would, lose the weight (or at least some of it) show them that you are not only special on the inside but also on the outside. I know there will be some overweight people who will hate me for this comment but, honestly, weight does matter. If you can accomplish as much as you have utilizing that wonderful speaking ability & sincere attitude that is being conveyed to your public..you can also defeat this weight problem..before..the next presidential election. I guarantee you, you will be our next president. I don’t believe I have hurt your feelings because you are too intelligent & perceptive to take my comments out of context. I adore you, I follow your career as closely as possible since I want the best for our state and,ultimately, for our country. Keep up the good work! You will be THE MOST HANDSOME and articulate President we have ever had and..will get our country back on track. God Bless you & God Bless America!! Helen Nordo
