People need to heed the message of Chris Christie and get the job done. We don't want the last century, America's century, to be a historical accident.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As Members of Congress and people of conscience, we must work to overcome the indifference and distortions of history, and ensure that future generations know what happened.
I think maybe it is about time for a governor who has created jobs, who's managed a budget, who's led and inspired large organizations, who listens well, and who can drive an agenda.
The action we take and the decisions we make in this decade will have consequences far into this century. If America shows weakness and uncertainty, the world will drift toward tragedy. That will not happen on my watch.
You have reckoned that history ought to judge the past and to instruct the contemporary world as to the future. The present attempt does not yield to that high office. It will merely tell how it really was.
We will either bring on another American century, or we are doomed to witness America's decline.
We need leadership. We don't need a doubling down on the failed politics of the past.
I was at MSNBC; I was constantly saying to them during Bridgegate, 'You've convicted Governor Christie without one iota of fact attaching him to the decision to stall the traffic on the bridge. Why don't we wait until the federal government or the state government... completes its investigation.'
It has been the great fault of our politicians that they have all wanted to do something.
Chris Christie is New Jersey's concern, not America's.
People understand we're on the doorstep of doing something really historic that will help the American people and strengthen our country for the long run.
