It appears that Chris Christie is at it again, this time confronting Lee Seitz. Seitz a top administrator in NJ announced that he would leave NJ and go to another state if his salary was capped at $175,000. His total compensation is now $242,000.

Christie's response to Seitz statement was "let me help you pack".

If Doug Christie is coaxed into running for president in 2012, which I think is unlikely, I will be supporting him against any other potential candidate. He is undoubtedly the most politically courageous elected official in this country today. Christie has taken on the New Jersey teachers' union and other out of control public sector unions and he is winning the battle.

Here is the video that is linked in the article lined above:

Note the absence of one or more teleprompters. This is not Christie's most impressive impromptu speech, but it is typical of his direct and to the point style of public speaking. The NJ budget was drowning in debt and he has slashed the state budget across the board and made no apologies - and he is still very popular with the voters.

Christie would have my support as well. It's refreshing to see a politician like him, hopefully more were elected earlier this month. Time will tell.

I agree.

Remember when the head of the Bergen County Education Association put out an email praying for the death of Chris Christie? Well after that email was sent out, the President of the Teachers Union offered an official apology and called the Governor’s office to apologize. At that point Christie says that instead of taking the call, he decided to invite her to the Governor’s office for a face to face apology. And that’s when the awesomeness starts:
