New Jersey Governor Chris Christie speaking at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, CaliforniaLast weekend New Jersey Governor Chris Christie made the announcement that he was "reconsidering" a run for president and would decide within days. Yesterday he made the announcement that he's not running for president after all. In a Newsmax article last Friday, Governor Chris Christie announced he was reconsidering running for the presidential bid after having denied for months on many television talk shows there was no way he would run for president. For the last several weeks several Republican donors and fundraisers have been urging Christie to change his mind and run for president. Christie is a rising star within the GOP establishment. Christie had promised to make a final decision within two weeks. Christie claimed he was reconsidering a presidential bid given the fact the Republican candidates for president in 2012 didn't have too much to offer. The two Republican frontrunners Christie and Texas Governor Rick Perry are weak on certain issues such as illegal immigraiton and Romneycare, a health care law similar to the health care bill Congress passed in 2010.
As it turned out, Christie wasn't seriously pondering a run for the presidency after all. He was using the weak lineup of presidential candidates as an excuse to make the announcement he might consider a presidential run. He was doing nothing but adding his own two cents worth into the foray. I'm thankful that Christie isn't running for president. He recently appointed a Muslim judge to the Superior Court in January and now recently he's been confirmed. Debbie Schlussell said in her blog that Sohail Mohammed was sympathetic to Sharia Law, which gives us cause for concern. Christie is no conservative.
