Gov. Chris Christie’s three most outrageous statements
Since taking office a year ago, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has gained a reputation as a bombastic, plain talking dynamo, largely as a result of web videos shot during his public appearances. But in quieter moments that haven’t attracted much attention, he’s made statements that provide a more interesting look at where he’s coming from.
This is what you came up with? This fails so bad, I’m embarrassed for you man! First the Teachers are privileged in that they get all kinds of benefits and 99.999% job security FROM the State Treasury!!! That list you held up are individuals achieving on performance with little job security and nothing from the Treasury! And the other two points are POINTLESS!!! YOU are a HACK, Jack!
Please look into the Layoffs he is now doing to members of the D.O.T. effective June 30th, 2011!!!

This video is an epic fail.
Christie is going to ruin NJ. He only cares about the wealthy.
This is why i don’t subscribe to the star ledger.
- Most of the people on the privileged list work long hours, are held accountable, and do not draw their paychecks from the taxpayers.
- His response to the Lacrosse thing was weak. Why not say: why is the the Gov’ts reponsibility to provide Lacrosse? Why not say: support school vouchers to allow the kids to go to the other school?
Theatrics, and nothing else. I can’t believe I sat through this. Wait, yes I can. If this is the WORST they have against him, they (you) are firing blanks.
“The guy’s just warming up”. That tells us everything we need to know about the originator. He’s going to sit in the bushes, sniping perceived “opportunities”, and ignoring everything else. The YouTube generation, unmasked.
Okay, I tolerated your first “outrageous” statement, but your little theatre spit only turned me off. If ur gonna make a point, leave stupid stuff like that out. What am I saying, your argument would still suck!
Top three things most outrageously missing from this video:
1) Any context for Gov. Christie’s allegedly outrageous statements
2) Statements from Gov. Christie that actually sound outrageous
3) Objectivity – even feigned objectivity from this partisan, activist playing “gotcha” word-games while seemingly masquerading as a “journalist”.
Everybody watching this smut video please flag it. The guy hosting this video is a tool bag. He is the perfect example of America’s entitlement mentality.
His list of privileged people is bullshit. Pro athletes aren’t privileged; they weren’t handed their money. They worked hard from the time they were kids to be the best at their chosen profession. That is not privilege; that is called “EARNING YOUR WAY”.
Christie is right. The “reporter” in this video is a dolt.
First grow some hair then grow a brain you left-wing loon. Working for a small time paper which most likely is losing money. What a buffoon you are play the entire speech and then keep you mouth shut to left-wing hack.
Please grow some hair then a brain, typical left-wing news clown who works for a left-wing rag paper that’s most likely losing money. If you heard (which you probably did) you would have kept your witless remarks to yourself.
I’ll tell you what’s outrageous: That a newspaper would stoop to practicing playground-level political activism on YouTube. Nobody buys the bullsh*t printed in the Star-Ledger anymore so I guess, this is the only avenue left in your attempt to reach an agreeable audience.
I don’t know what amount you pay for medical costs per year (insurance, out-of-pocket, etc.), but any group of people who pays NOTHING for it, and does so at the expense of the taxpayer, IS INDEED a privileged group of people.
This is nitpicking…if these are the only faults you can find it is pretty weak…
Just another example of how the CRY BABY LIBERAL MEDIA can’t handle a straight shooter who doesnt kiss their behinds and doenst care what the media thinks of him. Get over it, and yourselves! Christie is here to stay!
You are so pathetic. This is seriously the most OUTRAGEOUS comments you can find. Its idiots like you that think that government run healthcare is actually going to be productive. Christie is an awesome governor. Just look at the ratings of this video 5 times more people think your wrong than right.
The teachers unions are among the most privileged because they want a bunch of benefits. You are clearly someone who with an agenda against Governor Christie. If the only evidence you have against him is taking out-of-context clips of him and responding with spit-takes, you are a sad person.
Awww…poor left wing lunatic who has to take Christie out of context because Christie is actually doing a great job in NJ. This is why no one listens to you all in the media anymore…we can do our own research and listen to all of these speeches in context. Why did you mention the million views…maybe it is a jealousy because you only have 700!! You and your ilk are pathetic. The TRUTH ALWAYS wins out, and makes you all look like the fools you are!
Gov Chris Christie was talking about the Teacher’s Union in that speech. He was not attacking the teachers.
@proud2b4family it’s funny how little people really know about the profession and are quick to jump on the band wagon! We DO pay into our benefits! Second,schools are nonprofit, so if there is no $, what is there to lobby for? Yes, I agree $ was ill-spent in some districts, however, there are districts who spent responosibly. The ignorance of our governor to make assumptions without spending any time in schools across the state is both irresponsible and a travesty to the education of our youth.
If these are the 3 best examples of how outrageous Chris Christie is…then I’d like to extend my formal invitation to Chris Christie to leave this idiot behind and come help fix California.
Looks like (based upon other comments here) that your attempt to bash the Governor went over like a loud fart in church!
@tank10tank Talk to your union rep. Isn’t that what the unions are supposed to be lobbying for? Better working conditions? Until then, enjoy your guaranteed, 100% tax-sponsored employment and no contribution for benefits.
I wonder how anyone would be able to cut any spending in the state government with morons like this in the press. Does this idiot understand that New Jersey is broke and that means there must be some tough medicine.
