Related: About this forumScott Brown has the chutzpah (and lack of sense) to say Obama should learn from Christie!
Here is what the Fox News contributor wrote:
Today, we saw Governor Christie stand up and apologize to the people of New Jersey for the controversy surrounding the lane closings on the George Washington Bridge. Governor Christie stood before the New Jersey and national press corps for nearly two hours, making it clear that members of his team behaved unacceptably.
After learning about his staffs involvement and their dishonesty when asked about it, he immediately took action and terminated the responsible parties. Thats what leaders do.
It is always difficult to deal with controversy and scandal, especially when it involves members of your team youve trusted and relied on for years. But the Governors honest and straightforward approach stands in complete contrast to the way that President Obama has handled the many serious controversies surrounding his Administration over the last year.

While the circumstances of each incident were different, one thing remained consistent: President Obama took little responsibility in any of these events. He blamed others, made excuses and passed the buck.

Somehow I missed where Christie accepted blame - maybe I was distracted by the people thrown under buses.

an opportunity to reaffirm what a complete idiot he is.

read...!
I'll bet the people of NH are just thrilled at the prospect of this twit running for the Senate up there....!

in their heads.
Seriously. A bunch of them said this using the exact same words.
