8 reasons Christie shouldn't be prsident (other than Bridgegate)

Couple weeks old but worth reading

National Memo

New Jersey governor and unabashed loudmouth Chris Christie is no stranger to scandals. Look beyond Bridgegate, and you’ll find a political career littered with controversies, conflicts of interest, and lawsuits. On Tuesday Christie launches his long expected, virtually hopeless campaign for president. Here are only some of the stink-bombs hiding in his closet.

Christie is a rPuke through and through and that explains 1 to 8. Most of those reason would work for a lot of his ilk.

with zero trust among the money Republicans because of this and questionable appeal when any other more human choice is offered.

just so he could get a donation in the future,.
it left off so many of my favorite reasons,
1) like he is inept
one of he first things he did was try and insult the teachers union, so he threw out a form they had filled out for years and had his people fill it out instead - they filled it out wrong, so frm the start, NJ, a donor state, was denied 400 million in school aid it has always qualified for before.
2) he is beholden to the 1%
one of his first moves as governor was to reduce the tax rate for those above the 400K level by eliminating the top tier in the tax bracket.
3. he can not see into the future, even about the obvious.
one of the biggest things he did to hurt, once again, NJ, a donor state, wsw refuse a tunnel funding that took decades of work to get the Feds to buy in on. He wanted to balance his budget and fill the hole by the tax cut so he could use the money on highways. But we have to refund this money to the feds that they already spent on the project, and we have to put the dirt back that was dug out since it was already in progress. basically he not only killed all the money that would have come to the state in a recession with workers and housing and having a new tunnel, but he put us in more debt.
4. he is immature and loves to be the bully attacker - I have no idea why anyone ever found this attractive, but he gave the state a bad name by bad behavior and being re-elected.
You know, I have not even finished his first 6 months, but just getting bored with saying the same stuff again and again. And my idiot brother voted for him!

there are so many more! Just check here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024395877 The biggest scandal is the way the main stream media is giving him a pass on these things. Any credible news organization would be making a large load of sausage out of this big hunk of pork. But....credibility, honesty and hard work from our media seems to be a thing of the past. Our nation has become one big TLC reality show.
