Christie: US Fails to Live Up to 'Tradition of Exceptionalism’



SIMI VALLEY, Calif. — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, in a much-anticipated speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, slammed President Barack Obama for being a “bystander in the Oval Office,” and said the gridlock in Washington is ineffective and embarrassing to the rest of the country.

Christie addressed domestic and international issues important to Americans, but did not do what many supporters had hoped — announce a bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

“We watch a president who once talked about the courage of his convictions, but still has yet found the courage to lead,” Christie said. “We watch a Congress at war with itself because they are unwilling to leave campaign style politics at the Capitol’s door.”

This is the kind of person we need to run for President.

Articles have shown that the Repub Establishment is aghast at the present slate, many being whacked as such. Christie was given a prime speaking spot at the Reagan library - The stops - he is being pressured to announce, late as it is and the repubs need a good candidate - and what they have so far leaves much to be desired.

“We watch a president who once talked about the courage of his convictions, but still has yet found the courage to lead,”

It will be recalled that this is precisely what I was driving at last week. Clearly, Obama had a mandate to push through the 2008 DNC convention platform. But he lacks the guts and determination to do so because of his personal weakness.
