Chris Christie is in Trouble

Bin Laden determined to attack inside the United States.

Well, this particular drawing of Obama is somewhat able to allude to a rather not that nice image as a metaphor for his head...

If it's so easy to answer, why can't I get one leftist to stop lying about healthcare long enough to explain it to me?

With nonsensically absurd rhetoric like that why should they even bother? You seem to have already formed your opinion regarding a US Senator and Secretary of State who had to be vetted by Republicans as well as Democrats.

How exactly was a B-movie actor "qualified" to be president if an ex-US senator and official representative of the US to foreign countries isn't? Why aren't you using the same criteria to discuss nearly all of the Republican candidates for president last election? And the one who did have experience was literally driven out of his position as Speaker of the House by his own party...

No deaths, injuries from NJ bridge traffic, tapes show

A traffic jam deliberately orchestrated by members of Gov. Chris Christie's staff that caused days of gridlock in northern New Jersey appeared not to lead to anyone's death or seriously compromise their medical care, according to a comprehensive review by The Associated Press of five hours of emergency dispatch audio, interviews and dozens of pages of call logs.

..

The AP's review sought to identify any emergency situations within a roughly 5-mile radius of the bridge closings...

I am curious why they limited the study to 5 miles and decided that was sufficient to make the declaration that nobody 'seriously compromised' because of the bridge closings. I am not familiar with the area, so maybe it is good enough, I don't know. Can someone from there weigh in? Would emergency services from other locations that would never have to use the bridge or be snarled in any traffic caused by the bridge shutdown deal with situations that were greater than 5 miles away?

I "view" her as being more than qualified to do the job, just like Obama is. And you have yet to show that is even possibly the case.

did her vote on the Iraqi invasion win you over?

My guess (admittedly, from a Boston perspective and not a NYC one), is the density of of emergency responder stations means that anything outside a 5-mile radius of the bridge or so would be covered by stations further inland on either side.

As for Chris Christie's troubles, it looks like the main route of the legislature's investigation is on the coverup of the bridge scandal and the Feds are focusing on misappropriation of Sandy relief money for pet projects. The bridge closing itself isn't the big issue.
