Barack Obama

You were right, Steve.. Christie's marathon presser was full of easy lies..

Remember those on this board who thought he'd slide? Way too early to tell at that point even if one did get sucked in by Christie's woe is me-I'm so betrayed-I know nothing-scheme.

He said he hadn't had any sleep for two nights yet he just found out about it "yesterday". Big clue from mr micromanager himself.. and, when you have the obvious lies.. there will be more to come. In our wildest imagination we never would guess how much more!

So much corruption.. so little time to keep up with it all! Good job, Steve. I've read a lot about this from the beginning and your transcript seems to have everything nicely woven together.

From your link..

"The first is that Christie improperly chose between two bids for marketing the relief efforts. There was a bid that would cost $2.5 million dollars and a bid that would cost $4.7 million dollars and again this was just for marketing, not actually rebuilding anything. The costs would come right out of the relief funds. Christie chose the $4.7 million dollar effort and here is the kicker, the $4.7 million dollar plan involved advertisements featuring Christie and his family. The lower priced campaign did not."

Christie excelled at wasting Sandy Fed Funds and New Jersey taxpayers' money.. Booker's special election being a prime example that apparently too many in NJ didn't give a shit about.

More linkage..

"a. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie called New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo this week to complain about a Cuomo appointee's handling of a growing controversy over traffic pattern changes on the George Washington Bridge, a person familiar with the matter said.

Mr. Christie, a Republican, complained in a private phone call to Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, that Patrick Foye, the executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, was pressing too hard to get to the bottom of why the number of toll lanes onto the bridge from Fort Lee, N.J. was cut from three to one in early September, according to this person. The lane closures occurred without notice to local authorities, officials have said, and snarled traffic for a week in the small borough on the Hudson River bluffs"

What's up with complaining to Gov Cuomo about Pat Foye, the Executive Director of the PA of NY and NJ, investigating exactly what he should have been investigating in order to find out what happened with the GWB Closures? That doesn't even make any sense. And, where is Gov Cuomo on this? I can't wait to hear what he has to say about it.

If they're saying Christie knew about it during the closure then whose idea was it to close the lanes? Hmmmm?

"Governor Christie expected his staff to threaten and carry out such measures. It is demonstrated in repeated instances how this was the case. I think Governor Christie expected that the mayor of Fort Lee Mark Sokolich would support his re-election because of the killing of the Hudson train tunnel which would have diverted traffic and business from Fort Lee. Christie looked at that as a favor and expected quid pro quo in the form of an endorsement of his reelection."

This is new to me.. Sokolich didn't want the Tunnel built so Christie didn't get it done to help out Ft Lee and he expected the Mayor to endorse him for re-election?.. and when he didn't there was a .. "time for some traffic problems in Ft Lee"? Wow.. that's pretty huge.. Were there other reasons Christie didn't want the Tunnel built?

There will be lots of books on the rise and fall of this sociopathic, political schemer, chris Christie.. a movie too.. you know they will. In the mean time.. the subpoenas and documents will continue and the question remains .. who will be the next Christie aide/staffer who wants immunity or will they all go down with the ship?
