Christie provides a textbook example here of how to totally dismantle a liberal’s bleeding heart emotional, fact deprived rantings.

You gotta love this guy. Except for those that don’t like the truth. The teacher unions don’t believe that teachers should go through the same problems that the rest of communities go through.

I thought Gov. Fatso was firm with the teacher. He extended grace to her when she didn't deserve it.

He wanted to win her, but that involved correcting her thought process.

Gov. Christie is clear thinking, articulate, principled and
unafraid to speak the truth. In other words, a national treasure.

She had a good question.

Too bad I completely forgot what it was after she went rambling on making her ‘prepared political statement’ in mindless support of the teacher’s UNION.

Now the entire world knows what a greedy hack she is.

Let's give her the benefit of the doubt.

She is not a greedy hack, she is a teacher. She was sent there by the UNION who has convinced her she is 'underprivileged', 'down-trodden', 'underpaid', and that IF she does what the UNION says, they will get her more money.

Of course they will get her more money, but they plan to take every extra penny they get 'for her'.

She is their 'dupe' and The Governor just gave her the 'facts', instead of the lies the Union gives her.

If she has studied for all the required years to become a ‘teacher’ & she is that easily duped by her UNION—then she needs to start getting some retraining.
Don’t want her ‘teaching’ my kids.

Yes. A purely objective and logical argument, and an unflinching look at the limitations and demands that had to be accommodated.

Rare these days. Almost unheard of.

I wish there were a lot more like him.
Clearly he was the grown up in the room, correcting a whiney, spoiled child.

This is what "straight talk" means before McCain ruined the phrase.
