More Proof That Chris Christie Is Unqualified For President

So Chris Christie decided to open his big mouth and spat this zinger as reported by nj.com





Holding up three fingers, Gov. Chris Christie wanted the crowd to listen a second time to a statistic about the number of “college ready” students in Camden.

“How bad has it been in Camden? How ‘bout this -- Last year, only three students graduated college ready,” Christie said during his Jan. 14 “State of the State” address. “I want you to listen to that again. In the entire public school system in Camden last year, only three students graduated college ready.”

The Republican governor’s claim refers to a statistic recently cited by Camden Superintendent Paymon Rouhanifard in regard to students whose SAT scores met the “SAT College and Career Readiness Benchmark” developed by the College Board, which administers the standardized test.

That benchmark -- a combined score of 1550 -- indicates a 65 percent likelihood of achieving a B- average or higher during a student’s first year at a four-year college, which in turn is associated with a high likelihood of college success, according to the College Board. The highest possible score on the SAT is 2400

I call him a big fat liar.
