but Holy Crap that did “sound” good other than making his response all about himself?
If he were “really” confrontational, he could have quoted Jon Stewart: “Why don’t you go f*ck yourself?”
Can any politician be a straight shooter, reduce taxes, reduce government services, lay off state workers and get re-elected? I doubt it. Voters aren’t ready for confrontation WITH REALITY!!
Sorry. To all that don’t live in New Jersey. This is a non-story. “Nothing to see here”. The lousy MSM and the new Guv’s “refreshing” attitude notwithstanding, NJ is in for a very very tough 5+ years.
yeah, but it seems like this guy isn’t trying to hide the fact that it is going to be rough, and that in order to fix things he’s not going to worry about appeasing the short-term in order to get re-elected.
in other words, he’s not a career politician, but a true citizen-representative (the way it’s supposed to be.)
What some of you are clearly ignorant of is that he’s going after the wrong people and WORKERS in NJ. Instead of going after school administrators, he goes after teachers. Instead of going after anyone that would actually make a difference in the state budget, he goes after their underlings and completely ignores their egregious offenses. Instead of reappointing a highly qualified Supreme Court Justice, he appoints a woman who has donated over $20,000 to his campaign. (Don’t get me wrong, she’s qualified as well, but the former just didn’t donate anything, being a “Democrat” and all.)
I grew up in the South but went to college in New Jersey. Before, during and after college I lived there 10 years. There I meet some of the most sincere people I know.
After NJ, I worked in Texas and Az. There, I’ve been told I have an “East Coast” attitude. I didn’t think so, but; it does seems to me the more gentile south is also much more shallow and insincere. The more gentile are also very insistent of meaningless greetings (how are you) and such.
“Instead of going after school administrators, he goes after teachers.”
Because they want guaranteed raises during a RECESSION? And don’t pay a dime for benefits? And can’t get fired? And don’t even do a good job teaching our kids?
On one hand it was nice to see someone say it as it is, on the other, he didn’t really say a lot…
Did his taxes go up?
I missed that one

Silly Hoomans.
Honest and refreshing.
Governor Who, or of What? (Yes, I know it’s NJ from watching the video)
MSM = ? (I assume “main-stream media”, but it is poor form to use non-common acronyms)
“non-common” in a note about communication form, ha

Let’s just hope he doesn’t make wrong decisions.
We could NEVER get a guy like this in Kalifornia. This state is too fucked up.
Classic New Jersey, I love it.

Yeah, cry me a river.
