Not being a fan of Christie I come from an unbiased viewpoint. Oh Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. I have some good things happening so I have been a little occupied. Please make sure to go to www.myvoicetv.net to check out my articles on the news side. I have a lot more latitude there to opine so please venture to myvoicetv. Back to Christie and whats being called bridge gate.
What top aides did to block traffic on the George Washington Bridge was in my mind criminal. Reports say that the fake traffic study may have caused the death of an elderly person in an ambulance. If we are to believe the governor he asked his aides several times for months if they had anything to do with these lane closures. Each time all his trusted advisors denied responsibility. E-mails released by the press show it went right to the top of those in Christie's staff. What the governor did today is what makes him more of a leader and a man that Obama will ever be.
Upon confirming the guilt of those responsible the governor quickly fired who he could clearly be responsible. The governor took responsibility and let the press question him for 107 minutes. Gov. Christie then to a trip right way to Fort Lee, the city most impacted by the jams and had what is called a productive meeting with the city's mayor. For all his faults I commend the governor for how he handled this scandal.
Unlike the president who has yet to take responsibility over the Benghazi murders, the Fast and Furious murders, the NSA ease dropping, the IRS scandal, Governor Christie quickly let the chips fall where they may by just saying everything he knew, what happened, and how he would take care of the problem. No one had to create a commission. No one had to be served a subpoena. No one had to go through a slick press secretary who lies wihout remorse.
No matter what happens from here forward to Christie, he may not get my vote but he has my respect for manning up.
