I’ll never understand why some try to make issues regarding politicians kids…

Angy and yelling? In what world do you live Jon? This was an answer to a question that expressed neither anger or yelling. It was honest and straightforward. What’s wrong with that?

And if you want to mention that you think public officials should talk about where they send their kids to school, then I would think you would at least mention that hehimself’s girls go to the most expensive private school in DC.

And he certainly does everything in his power to keep it that way. All children deserve an opportunity, not just those whose parents can afford private school.

Tell that to Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, who CUT FUNDING for vouchers in District of Columbia schools- the program that allowed impoverished kids to go to private/parochial schools! As TfT said, the Obama girls go to Sidwell Friends and heaven knows where the Pelosi kids went to school (somewhere expensive, I’m sure).

It is the new GOP Congress that reinstated the vouchers for D.C. kids. The Libs are all about “Do as I say, not as I do.”

Where a politician sends his/her kids to school should only be an issue for leftwing hypocrites like Obama, Gore, Clinton, or Jackson who politically support public school unions by opposing school choice but send their kids to super expensive private schools (e.g., Sidwell Friends or St. Albans).

How sad

Liberals can’t stand the thought of a child getting a better and safer education at a private school and with better teachers than a public school.
As Governor, he is responsible for every child in his state and I believe he is trying to make the right decisions to improve educational opportunities. When you have a public school trying to teach your small children sex at a Pre-K level and you can not get rid of a bad teacher then something needs to be done. Public schools have failed.

Deep thinking from “journalist” Jon Bershad. I can’t imagine what his political affiliation might be.

“I have to say, he starts his response in an unnecessarily rude way.”
Open with a focus on feelings not on facts. Make it about the political target. Alinsky would be proud.

There is nothing rude about it. It *IS* none of her business. The Leftist indoctrinated dolt is asking a ridiculous question, a clear and blatant non-sequitur fed to her by another Leftist. Christie sends his kids to a better school because his hard work in becoming educated and successful allow him to afford THE CHOICE Democrats do not allow others. Christie wanting to cut funding from an inefficient machine has nothing to do with where he sends his kids to school. In every way the question was insulting. Good for Christie. My only gripe is he didn’t say what I just did.

Just another liberal spin to try to discredit one of the few honest, straight-talking politicians in the country. I hope his “agitated” tone didn’t scare you, or make you have a boo-boo.

tatboy said:

Leftist swine. But I don’t consider them an excuse, but more like a solid reason to hate.

Progressives hate it when they are told the truth…it Is none of her business. Its also true that the NEA, Teachers Union and Dept. of Education are the reason our schools are failing our kids.

We, the American people are being lied too every day by the Teachers Unions, NEA and Dept. of Education. This reality the Teachers Unions do not want you to hear, but it is still true. No where in the world is as much spent on students, and what do we get for our money? The worst schools in the industrialized world. No, the problem is not how much money we spend, and it never has been…We spend Too much, and have damn little to show for it.

lets separate the Myths from reality shall we. When we do, we find that Money is not our schools problem. The following are Facts, not the you hear fiction from our Government or the Teachers union.

1) During the 1960s and ’70s, federal aid to education rose by 83 percent, and federal aid doubled as a proportion of the nation’s total education budget. As expenditures rose, however, student performance declined steadily…and it still does.

2) Spending on public schools in the U.S. exceeds that of any other country on earth, but we are near the bottom is results.

3) In the U.S. Iowa, which ranked No. 1 in the nation in SAT scores, ranked 27th in per-capita student expenditures. Utah, which ranked dead last among the states in per capita expenditures, finished 4th in test scores.

4) Japan consistently finishes first or second in international tests, per-student expenditure however is about a third of that in the U.S., despite a higher cost of living. Also, in Japan It is not unusual for classes to have 40-45 students.

5) American public school students ranked 19th out of 20 countries in international achievement tests (nudging out Jordan), although American students did excel in “self-esteem” and the number of hours watching TV.

Those are just a few highlights, and it does not get better…Research a bit yourself and you will be amazed, and yes, pissed off too. If Spending was the answer, American schools would be the best in the world; They are not. By every measure, by every chart or scale it is proven time and again, beyond any doubt that our education system has failed, and more money will not solve the problems.

It has been shown time and again that The Dept. of Education is a failure, the NEA is a failure, and our teachers are not doing their job, and do not deserve a raise. From Washington to the classroom, they all deserve to be fired. But all we hear from the Unions and their tools in Government is they want More Money, with no accountability.

Until we deny the excuses from bureaucrats and teachers, and and deal with the fundamental issues of education, things will never get better.

DonnaK. Did you notice how you made it all about personally attacking and criticizing Christie instead of addressing the topic or dealing with any facts?

We did.

This is how Democrats have taught you to think about people with an opinion that differs from yours. You might want to consider what that says about them and you.

Want to fix our education system? Me too, and a plac to start would be to get rid of Tenure for all teachers and school employees, it has no place in a public school. Also we must demand performance evaluations and accountability from all education employees. Get rid of the feel good PC nonsense also; it’s a waste of money…real Self Esteem only comes from achievement and effort; otherwise it is a lie.

Yuk….. You must be a friend of Publius219 and a socialist liberal?? Only the socialist left spew out such hate! Liberty is the condition of those who are free and independent. Freedom from control by others. Real liberty is living free of socialist like yourself, who takes from others but when the money runs out then what? How will you get a job? Do you go to the poor to get a good paying job? Why should the rich give what they have worked for to you and those who refuse to work? Who is it helping the poor? You really need to rethink what you have written and quit listening to socialist. Socialism only works until you run out of other peoples’ money! The well is running dry!!

Union LEADER? Wisconsin deja vu going a bit more crazy. Now why would the governors want to work with these guys? And we wonder about Gov. Christie’s moods. sheesh!

In an explosive tirade that fired up some demonstrators and embarrassed others, a national union leader went nuclear on Gov. Chris Christie, calling him a Nazi over and over.

“Welcome to Nazi Germany,” Christopher Shelton, a top official at the Communication Workers of America, told thousands of protesters today outside the Statehouse in Trenton. “The first thing that the Nazis and Adolf Hitler did was go after the unions.”

In an extreme example of disaffection with both parties, Shelton also went after Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester) and Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver (D-Essex).

“Adolf Christie’s generals,” he called them, because both are backing a bill that would increase pension and health benefit costs for public workers.
______________
Hours later, Shelton apologized after Sweeney and a New York-based group of Holocaust survivors also denounced his comments.

“His remarks trivialize the horrors of the Holocaust and are an offense to all victims of Nazi crimes, Jew and non-Jew,” said Elan Steinberg of the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors and their Descendants.

Assuming that was sarcasm, I can only say security. My cousin taught there for awhile and the main reason is the level of security available versus a public school. Plus, he can afford it. As can Christie. That is why it is a stupid and pointless question.

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Reuters blared a headline that Weiner was a republican (bwahahaha; mediots on display)
and now, MSNBC claims Christie is Tony.

Honestly, the media are a bunch of idiots.

Liberal comments about a comment regarding public education is pure irony…

At this point it is apparent that throwing more money at the problem will not solve the problem. Kids are learning less and less and a big part of the problem is that there is no discipline in the schools (thanks to liberal do gooders) and teachers spend their valuable time trying to keep the peace instead of teaching.

Parents have to step up and take responsibility for the children’s behaviour at school. One class I know of was completely disrupted by having a severely handicapped child suddenly appear. One child who’s parent demanded that she be mainstreamed, completely screwed up an entire class and the law was on the side of this parent. What does she care that her child is not capable of keeping up in this classroom. She also happens to be the most demanding, obnoxious parent imaginable. Never on time to either drop her child off or pick her up – after all, the teachers are her babysitters. The child makes guttural noises constantly and it’s surely not her fault. It’s the fault of a stupid Mother who does’t much care about the 25 + young kids who cannot concentrate like they used to.

One example of a failed system.

Your post was not particularly well thought out. You claim these families should live in fear because they are “parasites”. Do you even know what parasites are? These people are about as far from parasites as you are from a brain cell. These people put money into the system – that they do not use, they allow others to use their money. They don’t “cost” you anything foo – you cost them.

What a vile thing to say about people who have more than you do. You want them to live in fear because they have and you don’t. Ever thought of getting a job – working your tail off and not wanting what the other guy has because he has it and you don’t? Class warfare? You have no class, so that leaves you out.

I guess it was none of her business that he used a state helicopter to go to his kids baseball game. The lying filth could care less about other kids education or he wouldn’t be cutting funds.

I can see the education system has failed you. So sorry – wonder if you’ll ever recover?

In what way is it *not* his constituents’ business what his educational funding policies are and what motivate hims to form them?

With all due respect, Governor, you’re an ass.

why, because he cares about the kids? So, you “respectfully” refer to him as an ass. That makes sense in your world I guess. In mine, not so much.

Try paying attention: the governor told his constituent that it was none of her business why he was cutting funding to public schools.

That makes him an ass. And I was deliberately affording him every bit of respect he deserves for such an arrogant and dismissive remark.

He’s also an ass because any leader that thinks making teachers “the enemy” is a good idea is — at best — asinine.

NO… you simple person. He said it was none of her buisness where HIS kids went to school.

This is the beat keep up.

Try listening comprehension. He surely did not say it was none of her business “why he was cutting funding to public schools” –

If you had listened to any of his speeches, he very clearly stated that teachers were not the enemy.

What is it with you guys? You have to lie in the face of truth to further your agenda? Then you have the cajones to accuse me of not paying attention? lol

You know it’s extremely difficult to carry on a “conversation” when ones lies and distorts in order to put down someone with an opposing view. That’s not how it should be/could be.

The fact that he cynically tried to distort the constituent’s question doesn’t relieve him of the responsibility to answer it. On two occasions during this one response he told her it was none of her business.

Make all the excuses you want for this goniff, but he’s damned by his own words.

Your willingness to make excuses for Christie is symptomatic of the disingenuousness of the rightwing in general. By which I mean willingness to lie. The constituent’s question was quite clear: “Why are you cutting funding for public schools when your children go to private schools?” Christie’s: “It’s none of your business.” Which he later repeated.

Browbeating the constituent using fake outrage doesn’t make the question on the table go away. Christie hasn’t learned that and neither, apparently, have you.

tatboy said:

I read the article and watched the clip. It’s crystal clear. Christie doesn’t think his constituents are allowed to question his judgement.

Here I’ll help you…

Q: “You don’t send your children to public schools. You send them to private schools, so I was wondering why you think it’s fair to be cutting funding to public schools?”

A: “Hey, Gail, you know what? First off, it’s none of your business. I don’t ask you where you send your kids to school, don’t bother me about where I send mine. Secondly, I pay $38,000 a year in property taxes for a public school system, predominantly in Mendham, that my wife and I don’t choose to utilize because we believe – we’ve decided as parents – that we believe a religious education should be part of our children’s everyday education so we send our children to parochial school. Third, I as Governor, am responsible for every child in this state, not just my own, and the decisions I make are to try to improve educational opportunities of every child in this state. So, with all due respect, it’s none of your business.”

You may hate Christie for wanting a religious education for his kids (I’m an athist myself). But he directly answered the question asked. PS…. I would LOVE to know if this was another union plant. They’ve been cought doing that a lot in NJ.

I gotta call bullshit; You may have seen the clip now, but not before you stated your mindless little rant.

No politician or anyone else owes and explanation to a stranger on why he/she may chose to send kids to a Catholic school. it’s none of her business.

He did explain the larger question of education spending and his problem with Teachers Unions (a problem all patents share btw, whether they know it or not) If you had been paying attention instead of running off at the key-board, you would understand that these reasons are sound. We don’t need more spending, we Do need to require accountability for what we’re spending now, and that is something the Teachers union is opposed to.

The school system is failing the children. Throwing more money at the problem without addressing the problem will not solve it. Who suffers? Not the teachers, not the administration and not the union. The children are the ones who are denied the education that they deserve. The percentage of parents who are home schooling has risen to unprecedented levels because caring parents are attempting to solve the problem the only way they know how.

Instead of maligning a man who is attempting to confront the problem, how about offering sound solutions. The per student costs have risen dramatically as the results have cratered dramatically so money is not the solution.

A. Nonsense. He decided to fake outrage that a constituent would call him out on his hypocrisy. You guys are spinning at light speed to forgive his bullying. It ain’t working.

B. Union plant my ass. Union members aren’t the enemy either, no matter what you or Christie seem to think. They are constituents just like everyone else in the state and have the same right to call Christie on his politics of class warfare.

C. This is why he’s not running. He realizes he’s too much of an asshole to survive the national spotlight, as this segment demonstrates convincingly.

Making excuses for bullies. Yep, that’s shameful all right.

Your psychic powers have failed you again. I watched the clip before I posted. What card am I holding up? Nope. Wrong again.

Also, your phony defense of this jerk is crumbling. The issue of a religious education wasn’t even remotely suggested by the constituent. Even Christie didn’t tee off on that until he got deep into the swirl of his mealy-mouthed excuses. That’s *your* phony take on Christie’s arrogant dismissal of voters.

And the governor who’s gutting the state school system most certainly does owe citizens an answer why he’s degrading their kids’ education while his wealth protects his kids from the effects of his actions.

And yes, while you and the class warriors of the right are committed to setting nonunion people against union people for naked political advantage — regardless of the damage to society that eventuates — your tactics are not going unnoticed. You and the wreckers will be called on it and will pay the price in 2012.

And the governor is still an ass.

I have watched in my home town of Springfield, MO a union thug pull a “scab” out of the cab of his truck, break his arms, break his legs, and his buddies set the man on fire. He survived but was crippled for life. He had a wife & 2 kids. The union boss said when the 3 men got out of prison they would have a “good union job waiting for them”. The trucking company shut down 2 months later.

And yes…. the teachers union and public workers union HAVE been caught planting “regular voters’ in New Jersey town halls. Look it up sometime.

If I believed your story was true, my response would be “that’s terrible.” It would also be “that’s irrelevant.”

A criminal action by some guy has nothing to do with the legitimacy of unions. Please be real.

“Planting regular voters” means you think that union members *aren’t* “regular voters?” And they shouldn’t speak at a public forum where issues of deep concern to them and the community are discussed? Are you nuts? Why do you hate democracy?

Or are only the fatcats you agree with allowed to be heard?

Then why were they HIDING the fact thay they were part of the teachers union? Are you for sabatoge and subterfuge? They didn’t want to be known as union workers to come off as “regular folk” to the rest of the people at the town halls. They were not… they had a LOT of skin in the game an money too lose. Money coming from the OTHER people in the room that pay taxes and ergo their salary and benefits.

I have NO problem with PRIVATE unions. If a company wants to go bankrupt by having unions… so be it. It’s their buisness and their headache. But if these salaries and benfits are coming out of MY pocket. Then I have something to say about it.

P.S. It’s relevent to your “Union members aren’t the enemy either, no matter what you or Christie seem to think.” comment.

My dad’s father was a union boss in Kansas City, KS. He was a diehard union guy. Union through and through. And a violent, evil, vicious man. And he was LOVED by the unions in KC for his tactics.

So to counter your point. As long as unions and union member are violent liars (see WI sick note scam) I will see them as the enemy. When unions start to loose they get violent and cheat…. never fails.

Perhaps Gail should ask Obama the same question.

He hadn’t eaten in thirty minutes. He was understandably irate.

Somebody needs to tell Christie: “Actually sir, being that you are PAID by taxpayers,, where you send you kids is EVERYBODY”S business. And if you don’t like having to be held accountable, why don’t you just qui being a parasite on taxpayers?”

Ridiculous. Misbehavior by some guy in Kansas 40 years ago means teachers in New Jersey today should bend over and take it up the butt when the governor there tries to crush them? Do you even have a clue how deranged that sounds? Exorcise your family demons on your own dime, buddy.

Some union members are violent liars (although a dubious sick note doesn’t quite make it to the “violent” category). Some people are violent liars. The number of violent liars who aren’t union members outnumbers union members by, oh, I don’t know — 20 orders of magnitude? Does that mean that all people are your enemy?

How’s that working out for you?

That’s not all. If the governor is paying $38,000 in property taxes, he is living to high on the hog. He bought a house too expensive for most people’s wallet.

Apparently he is living rather high as well if he expects helicopter transportation as well as living in a mansion that is worth so much money that he pays $38,000 a year in property taxes.
I think he is a liar and boar.

When was the last time you saw him answer questions about it? Hell, when was the first time? He actually answered the question quite fully, while also telling the caller that where his kids go to school is none of her business, which it isn’t. But you and I both know that his kids go to Catholic school, right? Because he told us that in his answer to the question. So…when did we get that from Obama, Mr. Fokker News? .

When you are in the public service arena, it seems that even the brand name of shorts you wear is public need to know. however, since you brought Obama’s name into the subject of private schools, the obama girls were attending a private school in Chicago and they attend a private school in Washington. The secret service concerns for their safety is probably just a tad bit different than those of the NJ governor.

I don’t think it was the question but the disrespectful attitude and sarcasim in answering the question. That was the Governor’s problem and he should give up his helicopter rides and begin to live like a regular person if he wants to regain the respect of the NJ voters.

Nice job Governor, my compliments.

Poppycock. “Private school” as in “not dependent upon state funding.” The religious aspect is your own personal issue.

The man is Honest and that’s what I like about him. Kids certainly get no Christian instruction in public schools today in America, unless it is a Christian school, which usually are private. Home schooling is also great, if a parent is cut out for that sort of thing. I moved overseas, twenty years ago and all school rooms, where I live, have cross’s hanging on the walls and all student have to attend religious class. God has been pushed out of public veiw in America, because of the sickness of “Political Correctness”. It is also slowly happening in Europe also, since there is such bad leadership in the EU, forcing it’s members to allow Islam into them. In 2012, elect an America Loving Leader, one who places America above all others, unlike the current joke of a “president”. One who has Honor and Integrity, and one who isn’t afraid of his Past, also, unlike the current occupant, B. Hussein Obama. I will be voting for whoever is running against Obama, just like last time. The man is Bad for America!

Christie was absolutely right. This woman had no right to question how he educates his children.

Oh poor Fatty McFatso. Probably was in a mood because he didn’t get enough gravy on his double-down.

Way to go Gov!

@c7c1bbec9064fcabc89e43e4ae6307c9:disqus It is indeed about private schools vs public schools – in contrast to Chrisitie’s thin skinned, mean spirited attack, it is rank hypocrisy for Christie to pass deep spending cuts in public education – and not having any plans on improving education – vs saying ” oh, well, we will just cut public education and make it in worse shape for the unwashed masses and plebes out there, while my family sends our children to infinitely better private schools,which do not depend on public expenditures’  - and it’s none of your business where we send our children’. The first to be cut are always firefighters, police, infrastructure, education,arts all of which are, I suppose, ridiculously inefficient and uneccessary.  Again, it is hypocrisy to rant how bad public education is when deep always include these institutions , i.e., anything that the general public depends upon.
One possibility is to try paying teachers 5X what they are being paid now.  That way, the profession will attract the best, and since the country runs on money, a high status will accompany the increase in pay. It is pay that is in concert with the crucial importance of the profession, which is, of course, the future.  In some societies, teachers are treated with great respect as befits their station.  Not here. Here, it always seems to be the teacher’s fault…
