Chris Christie Is Not Ready To Be President

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. 



   

Getting All Christie Eyed, I Always Cry At Weddings And Funerals

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.
