The embattled New Jersey Governor is so relived to know that he has been exonerated for any involvement in the bridgegate scandal.

So this simply means two things people: his two staffers who were the closest to him (Bridget Kelly and Bill Stephien) will be the fall guys for the governor just as they’ve protected his directives to keep him out of involvement on a paper and electronic trail. So now Chris Christie believes he’s all set to proceed with a 2016 presidential run.

Christie stated in a recent interview with Dianne Sawyer’s that “In his opinion voters still have a lot of respect for him – especially in Iowa” where the first Republican presidential primary will be held in 2016.

I think Chris Christie is tripping on his pride and floating off his ego, if he thinks he will be the republication nomination in 2016.

As a matter of fact, I think the REPUBLICANS ARE DONE!!!! With a defiant congress and a full republican senate, who are out of touch with struggling American people, who are 3.1 million strong unemployed, Chris Christie’s party don’t have a chance.

How come Gov. Christie won’t have a ‘town hall’ in the hood?

Christie town hall

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie held his first town hall meeting since he’s faced intense national scrutiny over what Democrats say were politically motivated lane closures on the George Washington Bridge.

The famous governor held his first town hall since the bridge gate scandal in Middletown, New Jersey where 95 percent of his audience were Caucasian.

But my question is this, why won’t Chris Christie hold a town hall meeting in the hoods of Camden county, Newark New Jersey or any other urban areas throughout the state? He always seem to frequent these areas where he won’t be challenged.

Case and point, one woman sitting at the front of the bleachers came with a message for Christie, typed in capital letters on a piece of white computer paper: “Resign Christie.”

Isabel Newson, 48, (pictured below) of Keansburg, NJ said members of Christie’s staff told her twice that if she “didn’t remove the sign,” she’d “have to leave.” Both times, Newson said, she refused, and the staffers took the sign out of her hands.

While no one at the town hall asked Gov. Christie about the bridge gate scandal, I’m sure they were told what questions would be permissible. In the meantime the Republican governor mostly field questions and dialogue about the state’s recovery from Sandy.

I think Christie knows if he came to the hood he would not only be heckled the way he was in Times Square but the great citizens of the state of New Jersey would not ignore the scandal currently rocking his administration.  

Politics, President Obama, State of the union

Pres. Obama is in the “fuck it” stage of his presidency!

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Did you watch President Obama’s state of the union address last night? I was back and forth with it between “the have’s and the have not’s”.

Word was already OUT and all in the media how President Barack Obama said “he was going to start overriding congress on executive orders to get the sagging economy moving”. Obama is tired of being disrespected and tired of talking to these cry baby ass republicans, so now he’s warned them all publicly that; he’s got a pen and telephone and will start moving things along without them.

The president is tired of negotiating and trying to be fair while the republican’s and congress hold the American people hostage because of their own hatred, prejudices and political agenda’s.

Besides, it’s not as if congress listens to the President’s demands he lays out during the State of the Union address anyway. Last year, only two of his requests were fulfilled by the least productive congress in history, pushing Obama to enact more executive orders without congress’ approval.

Enough is enough!

Now his attitude is “fuck it” I’m the president, it’s time to make shit happen on my own!

Allegations against NJ Governor Chris Christie mount!

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is knee-deep in allegations as his vindictive policies of politics continue to grow against him.

Added to the latest list of scandalous behavior is that the petty NJ Governor enacted political revenge after his administration shut down the DMV office in a large New Jersey city three years ago. Democratic politicians say it was because they opposed his tax policies and worked for his political opponent, John Corzine.

New Jersey state Assemblyman Joe Cryan told a media source, Chris Christie shut down the fourth-largest Motor Vehicle Commission office in Elizabeth, New Jersey as revenge.

‘He shut it down, plain and simple, and of course this was political,’ Cryan said. ‘This was complete retribution. … There was no other possible explanation for it.’

Cryan who was former Gov. John Corzine’s state Democratic chairman, when he ran for re-election in 2009 unsuccessfully against Christie concluded, “Closing the motor vehicle bureau in Elizabeth was a way for Christie to crush three political adversaries with a single stroke of his pen”.

Elizabeth’s longtime mayor, Chris Bollwage, got under Chris Christie’s skin soon after he took Corzine’s job, joining Cryan to publicly oppose what they called a ‘flawed’ plan to cap the rate of annual property tax increases in New Jersey. So to get back at the Elizabeth mayor, Christie closed down one of the busiest DMV offices in his city and now taxpayers in the region have to trek it to other cities to get their plates or licenses renewed, and politicians say the wait times have doubled.

Christie and his insiders are used to getting their way no matter what the consequence are to constituents and families, which is why his alleged innocence in this huge bridgegate scandal is hard to believe.

Looks like Christie’s prospects of a 2016 presidential run are dimmered each week as every political adversary he’s ever had, is coming out of the woodwork in record numbers.

If they find out he lied… he could be impeached!

The New Jersey Assemblyman John Wisniewski, who is leading the Chris Christie investigation into the George Washington  bridge payback scandal; told the Daily News that he is convinced that ‘laws were broken,’ and said Christie could possibly be impeached if it turns out he had knowledge of the political payback scheme. Hours earlier, State Assembly Speaker-elect Vincent Prieto announced he planned to subpoena more emails and documents from the Christie administration in the investigation.

“The noose is tightening,” state Sen. Barbara Buono, who lost to Christie in the November governor’s race, told The News on Saturday. “You wonder how people could be so drunk with power, how they could be so brazen in abusing it?” she said.

Buono said she was unmoved by Christie’s cascade of apologies after the emails indicated the lane closings were a petty attack on a local politician.

The traffic jam was reportedly a slap at Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for his refusal to endorse Christie, whose 2016 presidential hopes may be a “dream never attained” as a hit from this scandal.

In the meantime, David Wildstein, another Christie Port Authority appointee, pled his “fifth amendment” rights at a hearing held by the Assembly Transportation Committee on Jan. 9 in Trenton, N.J. Emails tie Wildstein to the Bridgegate scandal, as well as Bridget Kelly, Christie’s former top aide.

‘Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee,’ Kelly wrote in a damning email on Aug. 13.
