Vindictive? This Administration? Against Gov Christie?
2010-08-27

Gov. Chris Christie explain how the Obama administration disqualified the state of New Jersey from hundreds of millions in education funds because some clerk in Trenton turned in the wrong excel spreadsheet:

Gov Christie speaks!

Democrats in Washington have already shown a willingness to withhold federal education dollars from states that dont follow their preferred tactic for navigating the recession: giving teachers raises like its the Gay 90s. I wouldnt be surprised if this is more punishment for a state that committed the crime of balancing its budget.

But the Obama administration has made a serious mistake here: theyve given Chris Christie an opening, a reason to take them on directly. And how does the old saying go? Never go up against a Sicilian, when political credibility is on the line?

#4  Sound like the press could only think of firing whomever accidentally put in the wrong years data rather than look at the process. I'm glad Christie's got a brain and didn't just hang it up when he became governor.

#2  And Christie had to fire Schundler, so he's starting out doubly unhappy. Should be some good Christie Tubes coming up.
