After witnessing Governor Chris Christie in action these last 10 months or so, there is one inescapable conclusion that his ardent fans have been drawing. He is the next George Washington.
Christie artfully browbeats union reps, hecklers and teachers alike. He has sliced the budget and he is as quick on his feet as anyone in politics since Giuliani in his heyday.
Granted, Washington as a young man surveyed huge swaths of often hostile frontier-land and participated in the French and Indian wars as a young soldier and officer, rising to become commander of all Virginia's armed forces. He became active in VA politics, and was one of the most respected figures in colonial Virginia. He led the newly declared country to victory in a brutal and protracted war with the world's greatest empire, never fearing for his own safety on the battlefield. Though speaking little, he was a critical presence at the constitutional convention, where the greatest constitution ever was hammered out. He set the standard for evenhandedness, deliberation, and conservatism while leading his fledgling country through its first 8 years of the grandest experiment in history.
Just like Washington, Christie is a legend in his own time. He lived a happy and safe childhood in Livingston NJ. His supporters point out again and again that Christie's reasonably successful work as a Bush appointed US prosecutor coupled with his prior hit and miss forays into local politics makes him the best qualified man for the Whitehouse since old George. And with his keen insight into the proper channels for gun control his savvy 'green' streak, it may be that Mr. Christie will even surpass the old Virginian.
All we can say is our country is lucky to find such men every 200 or so years.
President might not be enough to fix America’a problems, how about Queen?
I’d be just happy with her “commonsense conservative solutions” that she’s laid out in detail. Her speeches make the old classics like “A Time for Choosing” and Washington’s farewell address seem like dated clunkers.
You forgot Moses: “Let my people go (from Obama)”. “Free them from bondage (from Pelosi)”

Thank you. Moses is important here.
Still waiting for the Red Sea to part on election day. Admit it, Republicans will only win because of SP.
I had a friend with a parrot named Moses. She does remind me of a parrot.
They both took Trenton.
