So now we come to August…ask him why he didn’t do his homework…he just cost your state 400 million!! Maybe he should have a (tele)prompter to show him how to fill out one page, eh? Then he fires the guy that brought it all up…a little thin skinned, perhaps? Just a tad. Keep him in N.J…

An incredible speech. I’m not going to go back and watch it again but when I saw it several days ago I was thinking that he didn’t say, um, a, er, or any other filler word. Every word that came out of his mouth was meaningful. What a contrast to the big O.

The real beauty of this vid (there have been several) is that there is no “grand slam” here. He is simply speaking important truths. Six minutes of real, meaningful words.

FromWikipedia regarding Christie's executive experience:

Christie served as the chief federal law enforcement officer in New Jersey from January 17, 2002 to December 1, 2008. His office included 137 attorneys, with offices in Newark, Trenton and Camden. Christie also served as one of the 17 U.S. Attorneys on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' advisory committee.

Similar to Sarah Palin's mayoral experience in Wasilla, Christie was a freeholder for Morris County.

I goofed. I brought up the subject of Joe Barton’s “apology” to BP in Neo’s thread about Olberman and The Daily Kos.

Here’s a goal and it is at least something I can do:

To have a command of the issues, facts, and language to communicate and win. Be Christie like.

What is somewhat ironic about Christie is that he is an attorney, lobbyist, and politician. Haven’t we all been agreeing that this is what is wrong with our current president?

Christie has no executive experience!

Let me suggest that the “executive experience” prerequisite doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Christie, most likely, has had some executive experience in his various roles because he is not an isolated narcissist with idealogical (religious) beliefs that constrain him from knowing the truth. And Christie is competent. His success is based on ability and hard work.

“a quality rare in politicians, that of a smart guy telling the truth and speaking from the heart.”
Isn’t this a quality REQUIRED from all polititicians? Isn’t this what politics should be all about?

the unions are now raising their dues to launch more attack ads on him.

Outlaw public sector unions. All of them. If you’re paid from taxes, you don’t get to unionize. Period.

FenelonSpoke, to hell with New Jersey. The country needs him. He’s our Cincinnatus.

Over the next two years he’ll be Palined, but we need him. Badly. Hell, we need him right now.

And that, folks, is how you make an extemporaneous speech. No teleprompter, no notes, no hesitation. It helps to know your topic and your audience thoroughly, but what helps most of all is to speak from the heart. Gov. Christie is sold on what he says, he means every word of it. It’s almost enough to make me want to move to New Jersey. Almost.
