Christie Says Americans Turning Into Couch Potatoes

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said he fears America may soon become a "paternalistic entitlement society" with "a bunch of people sitting on a couch waiting for their next government check," the AP reports.

He added that "this is the least optimistic period he's ever seen."

16. My GAWD--the Post can be especially vicious, can't they?

I've never seen so many meanspirited puns crammed into a few column inches in my life!!! Whale at the Wall! Weighs in! Broad appeal...huge impression...political heft!

Especially interesting since that's a Murdoch-owned enterprise; which proves, really, that he's not about political ideology, he's about acquisition of power and influence.

7. The same Gov. Christie who had a state-funded helicopter drop him off at his son's softball game

so he wouldn't have to walk from the parking lot?

8. He's turned into a couch. n/t

9. People who live in glass houses, etc.

I would feel safe in betting that Christie has 'pressed vinyl,' cloth, leather & all other upholstery materials during his gluttonous existence.

11. That's pretty funny. He's ten pounds away from needing a scooter thingie.

[Johonny]

12. and that's why he wants to end the oil subsidies, raise tax rates on the wealthy... etc

oh wait. It's only an entitlement if it's a government managed program that you've paid into your entire working life. If it's just pure greed cut off the top, that to him is what made America great in the mythical past.

13. Possibly, he's not the best person to complain about starch.

15. Speaking from experience? nt
