Chris Christie is absolutely right. He is not ready to be President of the United States nor will he be ready come 2012. The fact of the matter is, there is not a human being walking the face of the earth who is READY to be the President of the United States, including Barack Obama. The world we find ourselves in is perhaps the most dangerous, threatening, fragile circumstance human beings have ever faced. This is uncharted territory. The skill set needed to navigate it successfully is not clear.
Currently our country is teetering on the edge of a deadly abyss. Judging from the direction our current administration is headed, we will have stepped off the edge and be in full free fall by the year 2012. Christie knows this. Of course he is not ready to lead a country in mid plummet. No human being is or will be.
I liken the role of President of the United States in this era of history to be the same of that as a person with a deadly illness. Who among us is ready to hear the sentence, "you have cancer"? Humans are never ready for trials of this magnitude but some humans have the grit to take on the trials. Some do not. Some actually feed the diseases they are tasked to defeat.
I see Chris Christie as a man with a multitude of grit. I believe if there is anyone who is able to grow wings from that grit and fly US back up to safety, able to restore America's emotional, fiscal and social stability, it is Chris Christie.
True, he, like any human, is not ready for such unknowns. He is, however, able. The only real question that must be answered and the one that so often is the key to the survival of a cancer patient...is he willing? Is Chris Christie willing to battle the cancer? Is Chris Christie willing to be President of the United States of America?
God willing.
