Well, IF he didn't know, then that's what he should have done.

That said, I have a problem with executives not knowing what the hell is going on in their own administrations. That's an Obama quality failure there

Perhaps they ought to look into whether any laws were broken by the IRS, Homeland Security, INS, Dept of Health & Human SErvices, etc., etc., etc. before they worry about a fucking bridge closure.

He fired the chick that did this and asked his campaign manager not to submit his name for consideration going forward. He's also taking responsibility for what happens on his watch. Initiating 1-1 meetings with staff to be certain nothing else is pending.

He's meeting with Ft. Lee mayor to apologize in person then speaking to Ft. Lee citizens later today.
Well it looks like another thing Christie is good at is damage control. Seriously, how could he have handles this controversy any better today. Now, on the other hand if further info comes out later to contradict Christie he's knee deep in shit, but unlike 99.9% of other politicians that would spin & talk around the issue he seemed to hit it head on. Firings, meeting with Fort Lee mayor & residents personally. It's not going to gain him any votes from the people that weren't going to vote for him anyway, but the way he handles things today could help him with Independent voters.

Unless of course there's proof he knew about it during the shutdown...


Gov Christie, did you order a Code Red on Fort Lee??

BTW, Christie never had a shot at being President anyway. I think people who think he did just don't really have an appreciation for how intense opposition WITHIN the Republican Party is to him. It is not going to happen and was never going to happen.
