Tough-talking Chris Christie plans D.C. rollout

[sasha031]

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is bringing his blunt talk about fiscal responsibility to Washington this week in a speech sure to stoke speculation about his national prospects – which have intensified in recent weeks as some Republicans openly fret about the strength of their 2012 field.
Like Christie himself, the message he’ll deliver Wednesday at the conservative American Enterprise Institute is unorthodox and straightforward: he accuses both parties, Democrats and Republicans alike, of “timidity” in the face of the coming fiscal calamity.

“It’s hard, but it can be dealt with,” Christie said of his speech, previewed for POLITICO, which will focus on his battles with the state’s teachers unions. “I’m a little mystified as to why they’re not doing it, on either side. Because what we’ve shown in New Jersey is that the public is hungry for this.” “I don’t think anybody’s ever accused me of being ambiguous. So I think when I get done, they’ll have a good idea of what I’m talking about,” he said.

1. Brave Chrissy! The American Enterprise Institute

I wonder if he'd deliver the same address to the statewide teachers union, or if he'd suddenly have to go to Disney World again?

2. Christie can reach both sides of the aisle. Literally.

That doesn't make him much of a statesman, though.

4. They can get the Taft bathtub out of storage....

Though it may be too small since Taft was only 330 pounds.

6. You know what

He needs to bring his ass back to NJ, stop working for EVERY OTHER citizen in every other state . . .and get to work with the NJ Legislature lowering our f*cking taxes.

In all of the posts I see on D.U. about this ass outside of the NJ forums - no one is saying "Go home Christie and do something, anything to give YOUR citizens tax relief".

Anything.
Something.
