15 Chris Christie Controversies You Missed

Very interesting read (from Politico no less). What's amusing is all the RWNJ reader comments "Obama is worse!! IRS BENGHAZI BENGHAZI!!!!!!!!!!"


"..while perhaps none of these kerfuffles placed anyone in imminent danger quite like Bridgegate did, at least a few of them might have spelled the end of another, less media savvy politician’s career."

1. The article misses the failed $400M Race to the Top grant, and the search for Scapegoats

Christie personally botched the $400M grant and then tried to find a couple of patsies.

When they did not pan out (ie. the people he fingered were innocent), he blamed his life-long "friend" Bret Schundler and fired him.

===

Schundler is still sore about this betrayal by Christie.

3. They also didn't mention the unnecessary "special" election" for Corey Booker

If he was really concerned about fiscal responsibility why have the Senatorial election happen one month before the general? Oh, right, I forgot…because he knew Dems would come in droves to vote for Booker and you were afraid they'd vote for Barbara Buono instead!

This guy is a crook and a bully, imo. Nixon must be rolling in his grave.

Thanks for posting. I put it on my FB page.
