So what happens now to Chris Christie? Will he campaign for the Republican nominee? Will he settle back into New Jersey politics exclusively? Not since William Taft graced the White House in the early 20th century has there been a national political presence like Christie. Larger than life both physically and emotionally, Christie plays the political game like a blitzing middle linebacker: if he zeroes in on you, you’ll feel it.
Christie is not yet ready to be president, though, because he lacks enough executive experience. Perhaps the biggest problem President Obama has is a lack of problem-solving experience. Through no fault of his own, Mr. Obama was handed a damaged economy and promptly made it worse because he had no frame of reference in economic matters. He hired a bunch of liberal people who sold him on the preposterous idea that the federal government could manage the private sector. Disaster.
