NJ Gov. Christie has Tips For Obama/Washington

NJ Gov. Christie nationalized his victory on pensions and health benefits on NBC's Meet the Press this week, saying President Obama's Washington should model itself on Christie's New Jersey.

Christie said Obama needed to deal directly with congressional leaders, just as Christie sat with Democratic legislative leaders to hammer out an agreement that forces public workers to pay more for pensions and health benefits.

Christie said: "If you're the executive, you've got to be the guy who's out there pushing and leading. You can't lay back and wait for somebody else to do it. And I think if the president has made a mistake here, it's this laid-back kind of approach where he's waiting for someone else to solve the problem.

Gov. Chrisite comments to NBC’s David Gregory:
"I'm huggable and lovable, David. I'm not abrasive at all. You know what people are tired of in politics? They're tired of blow-dried, tested answers that are given by political consultants to politicians, and everybody sounds the same: Erh-erh-erh. I don't sound the same."

"If you're the executive, you've got to be the guy who's out there pushing and leading. You can't lay back and wait for somebody else to do it. And I think if the president has made a mistake here, it's this laid-back kind of approach where he's waiting for someone else to solve the problem."

"Some people say it's a political strategy. No matter what it is, it's not effective in solving problems. What we did in New Jersey proves that's the effective way to do it. The executive needs to lead and then bring people to the table to forge compromise."
