Funny that he's bashing the House Republicans for not cutting enough, because if you read the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teefs coming from the New York Times editorialist, the House Republicans are out of control and trying to slash every 'essential' government program in reach.

But FOX News has Governor Christie's remarks...

“I look at what’s happening in Washington D.C. right now and I’m worried. I’m worried," Christie said to a crowded room at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington.

“The president’s not talking about it because he’s waiting for the Republicans to talk about it,” Christie said. “And our new bold Republicans we just sent to the House of Representatives, they’re not talking about it because they’re waiting for him to talk about it. Let me suggest to you that my children’s future and your children’s future is more important than some political strategy. Let me suggest to you that what game is being played down here is irresponsible and it is dangerous. We need to say these things and we need to say them out loud. ”

“When we say we’re cutting spending, when we say everything’s on the table, when we say we mean entitlement programs, we should be specific.”

“Here’s the truth that nobody’s talking about. You're gonna have to raise the retirement age for social security,” he said. “Whoa, I just said it, and I'm still standing here. I did not vaporize.”

I like this guy. In New Jersey, he's taken on the pensions, the education system, and health benefits and costs. And the Union Thugs associated with (and driving) all of the above. A 'blunt and direct' approach to Dirty Socialisms. What's not to like about that?

And, you notice he's attacking both Republicans and Democrats. Who else did that whilst Governor ? Can you imagine the Team R duo Christie - Palin 2012?

Don't discount the possibility that Christie might be the Republican 2012 Presidential candidate. Just because he said he's not running, doesn't mean a thing at this juncture. If he's plays his cards right, he'll not get in the race until the last minute, so as to not attract the attention of the hateful Obama press and the low-level KOSupporters. Let the front-runners catch the majority of hate from the ankle-biters. Let the New York Times AGAIN try to 'anoint' our candidate as they did with John McCain (before turning on him), pushing a weak, soft, 'pragmatic' sort of bozo like Mitt Romney or Huckholio. Let the ObamaPressCorps attack those front-running candidates like they have attacked Sarah Palin, with the ferocity that wolves show for lambs.

Then, perhaps at the convention, Unleash the Christie.

No matter what becomes of this current Congressional - Presidential budget fight, it's merely a runner-up warmup to the fireworks coming soon enough. The political season that started with the CPAC Convention running all the way to the November 2012 election is going to be brutal, and we who are political aficionados will not suffer lightly further Republican missteps such as we did in earlier races; accepting Bob Dole or John McCain.

Things have changed forever; thank the rise of the Tea Party for that. Our 'Tea Bags' will crush your soft lefty faces, if you insist on using that analogy.

And I like that, really.
