up what a great person Chris Christie was.

My sense tells me she is a dyed in the wool republican, which is fine I guess, except her objectivity seemed to be clouded by that.

Two recent examples;

Mooch is a successful guy - It is true, he is a successful hedge fund 'packaging' guy. He is sleazy as hell and a con artist, but she started every segment when he first came out as him being successful.

FoxConn Wisconsin deal, she always states that Dems are claiming tax breaks were given BUT that is normal. (Her assessment of the situation) In fact the tax breaks are HUGE! Largest ever given by WI and it puts FoxConn in a position that for each CLAIMED job creation, they get 4 to 5x of a break as compared to annual salary. Basically a no lose situation for FoxConn while WI needs to bet on job creation multiples that are unrealistic to break even. Note: there is no guarantee FoxConn will EVER create that many jobs.

So while I agree she does a great job at times, she has a HUGE blind spot when it come to business.

Great on most social issues, but she still has a HUGE blind spot and she equates making money with success.
