Will Chris Christie step up and do the right thing? Dear Lord, I hope so!
I know Christie keeps saying he is not going to run in 2012, that it's not the time for him, that he's working to fix New Jersey first, blah, blah, blah. These rationales in times of stability for an up and coming political leader would be valid but time is not on Christie's side. More importantly, time is not on America's side much less New Jersey's.
Christie said himself that "leadership is not about waiting." So why would he wait to lead his country back from the brink of disaster when he knows he has a needed plan to implement now? He continues to fall back on, "you have to feel it in your heart and mind that you're ready."
Governor Christie, may I have a word in private with you?... Chris, dude, you're sounding like a groom getting cold feet. You are ready! If you want a New Jersey to exist that you would even recognize in the next 10 years, you better snap out of it and be the man. Remember, leadership is not about waiting.
Comb your hair, straighten your bow tie and get the hell out there to the alter where you belong. America is standing at the end of the aisle waiting to walk toward you (and she ain't getting any younger).
Chris, we all heard you. There is no other way to interpret it. Your latest speech was an out and out sincere proposal to America. A long engagement is no longer an option for the old gal and you know it.
I'm a crier, I admit it. But it could well be up to Chris Christie whether my tears are those of joy for a wedding or tears of sorrow at our country's funeral. Do the right thing, Christie. America has picked out the dress she wants to wear for you and I assure you, it's not a black one.
