I'm confused, has Christie definitively been tied to the bridge traffic debacle? Not that I know of.

He found out it had been done and took decisive action. What else do you want him to do?

Exactly what planet are you on?

I usually swing left but I love this Christie guy! He may talk too much and be a big fattie but hey, he's my kind of guy. A man that will stand up for what's right . I just hope he doesn't change when he gets skinny! Christy in 2016! PS. I know a certain Dinosaur from AC who would make a perfect running mate too (if he could handle the pay cut)!

Dick Cheney did OK with Halliburton while in office.

Then show me with proof that Christie new this was all a setup.

Without proof, you have to take the guy's word for it right?

That does not matter, you have to look at his moral fiber and the people, he selected, that would put innocent citizens at risk being pawns in a petty political vendetta

Are you telling me good people that get hired for a job sometimes don't stray and make bad decisions without the boss' knowledge? It happens every single day man.

Wait, wait, wait Dark Star. You are now changing what we're talking about here so be careful with your facts.

Of course he knew about the bridge closure. That is not in dispute. That's not what we've been talking about.

We're talking about whether Christie knew if his staff did this on purpose. That's what we're talking about. And the answer is, you and I don't know the answer to this.

Are you asserting you know the inner workings of Christie's cabinet and you know Christie knew his staff did this on purpose?

If Christie is as calculating as some people think, then one would think that he would also have to be smart enough to know that this could come back and bite him on his large backside if this thing blew up.

No way he would knowingly do that when he was up 24 points in his re-election campaign while he is going to run for president.

Why did they do it? Just for fun. I doubt it

I don't know why people do stupid shit. I ask myself that question each day. Just because a lawyer commits fraud doesn't mean his boss knew about it.

I mean, you can have opinions on the matter all day but until you have proof Christie was involved, your opinion doesn't mean much.

Yes, Chrisite did a good job taking responsibility and then blaming everyone else 5 seconds later. Firing staff to save your own political future is not really leadership....more like survival.

the opposite of obama, who takes NO responsibility for anything unless it shows him in a good light and fires no one either!

I mean, when your organization makes a serious error what do you do?

As the leader, you accept the blame then take action to ensure it doesn't happen again. Isn't that what you're supposed to do?

I'm a Christie fan and hope he can get through this. But if he didn't know, he was incompetent, and if he did know, he's complicit. Neither option is a good one for The Big Man. Politicians have survived worse, and he is a very talented, gifted Politician, so he might survive. He's also the only viable shot his Party has in 2016 and the Big Wigs and money people in the party know that.

So, I may have missed this one but what again did his staff tell him that day? Didn't they tell him a traffic study was taking place or something?

Again, incompetent or complicit. Those are the choices. If I'm the competent, on top of it Governor, I've thought Christie was, I'd ask, what the F is this traffic study about, and keep on pressing until I get answers. It's disrupting the lives of thousands of commuters on day 1 of school, etc., what do you mean an F'n traffic study? Not sarcastically joke that he was operating the cones when asked about it weeks later.

Christie has strangely become my first choice for the nomination, I like the way he's handling things so far & I detest those trying to make this seem like Watergate!
