Chris Christie Tells David Gregory: “Absolutely” Not Running For President in 2012

video
» 31 comments

Today on Meet The Press, host David Gregory grilled New Jersey governor Chris Christie about, among other things, whether he holds any aspirations to run for president on the Republican ticket in 2012. Christie repeatedly said he does not intend to run in 2012, and emphasized that he is focused foremost on whether to run for re-election for governor in 2013.

“You wouldn’t be on the ticket at all as VP?” Gregory pressed.

“Can you see me as somebody’s Vice President, David?… I would feel bad for that poor man or woman.” Watch below:

    I really liked it when Christy accused Gregory of being an advocate for democrat policies. We need more of that on our side – conservatives calling out the liberal media for their misstatements and pushing the dem policy positions….which NBC does all day long.

    There are good and tough people in every state . Maybe Christie’s success will bring out more like him to run for office and stop the craziness that is strangling this country . Union goons are like any bully . When you stand up to them , they bark for a while , and then slink away.

    Yeah, he should wait it out. Let all the crazy Righty’s run in 2012 and that will position him well for the future.

    Ridiculous. When you interview a conservative you make him justify his views with adversarial questioning the same as you would do to a liberal.

    Unless you Righty’s get a friendly soft-ball Fox interviewer you think you are being persecuted.

    Man up!!

  • TfT

    Christie has manned-up; Gregory is a whimp. He never questions liberals the same way he questions conservatives because he is on the liberal side of the fence.

    The person who needs to man up is the interviewer of President Obama last night on CBS. Obama just allowed, without question, to spew his liberal talking points. Once again, CBS kisses his clymer….they dare not question he himself when he lies through his teeth.

    I disagree with this 100% and I have internet-known you long enough to know that you would never change your view, so there you go.
    I will say that you see anti-Right bias everywhere and I point out bias whether I see it coming from the Left or the Right so I like to think I am more credible than you. I have never seen you for even one moment scrutinize your own side.

    You are literally “The Boy Who Cried Bias” and nobody listens to you anymore.

    I remember on election night you got all bent out of shape because Wolf said something like “These numbers might change” for a Democrat and didnt say the same for a Republican. “BIAS!” you raved.
    That is insane. You are insane. It is just as crazy as the guy on my side who called out Megyn for saying “Alas”.

    You will look for bias until you find it and that usually means manufacturing it.

    I hate to tell you this TfT, but the bias you are always finding is right there in your own mind.

    Good Morning BFD.

    If you think my posts are a waste of time and space, stop commenting on them.

    You don’t see the bias – I bet you think MSNBC does “news” at night too.

    Matters not to me what you think BFD; I’ll continue to post on the liberal media’s blatant bias as much as I chose.

    David Gregory is a dem hack, as is George Stephy and Katie Couric….they all campaigned for hehimself and they will cover up for him from now until eternity.

    Did you see his speech in India today? It is all about HIM, what an arrogant individual he is.

    And I loved how Christie told David he was an advocate for dem policies.

    Ummmm…NBC does 22 minutes of news a day. Maybe 3 minutes of that is political. (perhaps another 15 minutes of politics on the Today show)

    NBC does NOT do news “all day long”. That’s what Fox does.

  • tstev

    TfT, American news is pretty right wing across the board. However, one news agencies promotes the right-wing candidates and lobbies for them hand in hand in their news and that’s Fox News. If you are looking for severely biased media to suit your taste, you should look there.

    If you saw a biased media in this mundane interview then should should watch Fox News full time and don’t waste your time watching a basic no frill political interview. Try to locate Fox News specializing in hack jobs that you seek.

    Take a look at him and tell me he is qualified to even use the word “running” in any context. If you could “Bacon Double Cheeseburger” for office then he’d be a shoe in!

    Yes, but if he starts working out, buys a convertible and shows up with young women, watch out!

    Democrats are breathing a sigh of relief. They know Christie would kick ass against anybody they put up against him.

  • paulmdoro

    I live in North Jersey and am pretty familiar with Christie. He is great at utilizing the media to generate headlines and adoration. But, as Star Ledger columnist and tea party supporter Paul Mulshine reminds readers every chance he gets, other than picking highly visible fights with the Teacher’s Union and others, he has accomplished jack and squat. He hasn’t even been governor for a year. He might grow into a formidable politician, but he is not there yet.

    Christie – stole a quiet off cycle election after the exhilliration of finally getting rid of “The Decider” whom brought the country to it’s knees. Chirstie is already alienating everyone in the state and has done more to damage NJ in 6 months than any of the crooks bounced before him – he will lose badly – and there is no reason on earth to think this dude has “presidential pedigree”. He was at the right place at the right time, but with his efforts to give more back to his buddy’s at the Chamber of Commerce than the American People – he’ll go the way of his other East Coast losers – out, next election cycle. He’s taking the state the absolute wrong way and buy remorse is setting in NOW.

    Democrats aren’t saying crazy sh*t. The Teabagin Republicans REFUSE to answer questions – and the ignorant blind faith sheep are about to stick a Boehner up there neither regions of glennbeckistan.

    The Democrats can run anyone and beat Christie next cycle – and will. The educated states as a rule, generally don’t vote for stupid.

    Whaaaaaa! Republican Teabagers don’t like asking questions therefore the media that asks the questions are liberal! LOL. Go back and get some new talking points from the Ministry of Lies and RNC Propaganda Network FOKKKs.

    You’re unfortunately a complete moron for the GOP. You’ll take the BS you hear on Fokkks as gospel and echo idiocy. Thanks alot – you’re a Bush Republican and part of the bigger problem with America and the education system. Home School – is not legitimate. Give it up.

    1 and OUT Christie!! Everyone in the NE knows it. Why would anyone even ASK about his Presidential aspirations? Based on what? He can complete a sentence where Sarah Fin Palin can’t? Such lofty accomplishments.

    Wait…New Jersey is an “Educated state”? The only degrees earned in NJ are “GED”, “GTL”, & “DTF”.

    The Dems complain all the time that Gregory is a conservative na never asks the hard questions of the righties. I suppose since both sides complain about him he is just NOT that good at his job.

    I agree. People are having buyers remorse already and this is what will happen to all these whack-job righties by the next election cycle. After two years of the teabaggers even the LOW information voters will be healed

    Then can you please tell me how Biden ever got elected to something bigger than dog catcher? How about Schumer–a nutjob if one ever existed? Then, of course, there’s Grayson. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I would be certainly remiss if I neglected to mention “We’ve got to pass this bill so we can find what’s in it” Pelosi.
