It's not just about One Illegal Scheme, either..



Hoboken Can Make Christie’s BridgeGate Look Like Small Potatoes

"New Jersey got billions from the Federal Government to help the state of New Jersey recover from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. One of the cities that suffered was Hoboken and Chris Christie promised the people of the city that he would do whatever he can to help them recover, but when Hoboken’s mayor refused to endorse Christie’s re-election, Christie refused to hive the people of Hoboken the federal recovery funds/

If it is determined that the people of Hoboken did not get the recovery funds alloted from the federal government because of Christie’s political retribution, then this could be a criminal act. Chris Christie was in the middle of a reelection campaign. There is a law that governs campaign finance here this country, and all indications are that Chris Christie violated that campaign finance law when he took federal releaf funds and distributed those funds based on political endorsements political endorsements. That’s against the law."

The rest..
Hoboken

Here's the "first black president" quote from MSNBC’s Benjy Sarlin . via Ed Gilgore @ Political

Animal..

"Eventually, he paused to acknowledge Obama’s historic role as the first black president. But by that standard, Obama’s usefulness ended the day he took the oath of office."

http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/political-animal-a/2014_01/schweitzer_as_the_antiobama048648.php

Precisely.. by that stupid standard.

From that same piece from Ed Gilgore..

"Unless this was some sort of screwed-up revival of Teddy Kennedy’s famously disastrous Roger Mudd interview in 1980, Schweitzer’s sure taking an unorthodox route to a Democratic presidential candidacy. Yes, his complaints about Obama’s record are shared by quite a few progressive folk. But generally trashing Obama—or for that matter, trashing HRC—is not the way to build a base for a presidential campaign. According to the latest Gallup numbers, Obama’s job approval rating among self-identified liberal Democrats stands at 84%. That is rather high. Among African-Americans, who play a huge role in many Democratic presidential primaries, it’s at 86% (it’s only 58% among Hispanics, but that includes a decent number of Republicans)."
