Chris Christie's Mentor throws up a Red Flag on Christie's Leadership...Ouch!

Former New Jersey governor Thomas H. Kean, one of the state’s most revered figures and a mentor to current Republican Gov. Chris Christie, contends that the leadership qualities Christie has shown while in office should give pause to voters nationally, as they begin to size up Christie as a potential president.
“On the one hand, I think he’s got a lot to offer. I think he’s the most able politician since Bill Clinton,” Kean (R) said in an interview with The Washington Post. “On the other hand, you look at these other qualities and ask, do you really want that in your president?” 
Kean’s comments come as the current governor is beset by controversy over revelations that officials loyal to Christie engineered closure of part of the George Washington Bridge in September, inconveniencing tens of thousands of state residents in an apparent act of vindictiveness against a local mayor.

There is no evidence that Christie knew of the actions of his subordinates and appointees, some of whom he has since fired. But Kean — who has known Christie since the current governor was a teenager -- faulted Christie for establishing a culture in his tight inner circle in which no one “will ever say no to him, and that is dangerous.” 
He also said that Christie's approach to governing is overly aggressive and his agenda is personal.

I'm sure former Gov Kean would not have said anything if his mentee (Christie) hadn't tried to SCREW HIS SON....Unsuccessfully I might add....PAYBACK IS SWEET!

It seems that among Christie's problems is...LOYALTY.

Well...we learned that already back in November of 2012...but I won't go there now...

More New Jersey mayors say they were punished by Chris THE BULLY Christie for not endorsing his 2013 re-election bid -

Fort Lee, Hoboken, Elizabeth, Jersey City - the list of towns punished by THE BULLY continues to grow.

THE BULLY shouldn't be elected dogcatcher, much less governor, much less - God forbid - president of the United States, the most powerful position in the entire world.
