Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey is not afraid to speak his mind and that, to me, is refreshing and presidential. In this clip, he takes on a superintendent the crazy pay increases he will receive.
Earlier in the day Christie discussed the Parsippany Board and Seitz at a town hall meeting in Toms River. “Let me tell you about the new poster boy for all that’s wrong with the public school system that is being dictated by greed,” the governor told the audience. “This contract is the definition of greed and arrogance. I’m going to be speaking out loudly and clearly every day I can about Lee Seitz. If Lee Seitz wants to try to put his greed and his arrogance ahead of the taxpayers of New Jersey, you elected me to stand up to people like Lee Seitz and others across the state and I will.”
The day before the meeting Seitz is quoted in the Daily Record as saying, “Because of the proposed salary caps, I have to look at my future and the financial welfare of my family. I certainly would have options if I didn’t feel the compensation in this district, or New Jersey, is appropriate.”
The governor reacted to Seitz’s veiled threats to leave New Jersey and go to a nearby state where there is no state salary. “I will say in response to Mr. Seitz, ‘Let me help you pack.’ We have real problems in our state that we have to fix and we don’t have the time, nor the money, nor the patience any longer for people who put themselves before our citizens,” Christie railed.

Heidi Harris says Christie will never win because he is too fat. No, he won't lose because of that. He won in New Jersey, a blue state and the voters knew he is overweight. Besides, with about half the population over weight, he'll probably capture that demographic.

He's kinda fat though. That'll be a problem if he's up against ex-fatty Mike Huckabee.
