New Jersey’s Republican Governor Chris Christie slammed Obamacare as a “train wreck” in comments made at a Jersey radio station on November 25.
Christie appeared on New Jersey’s 101.5 FM for his November “Ask the Governor” segment. That’s when he slammed Obamacare and the President but good.
Christie was asked why he didn’t join in on the state side and create a state exchange for Obamacare in New Jersey.
“This is just an awful law that made no sense and that’s why I didn’t get into a state exchange. And no, I have absolutely no regrets. In fact, I’m really glad that the train wreck’s not mine, it’s his,” the Governor said of Obama’s signature healthcare law.
Christie went on to slam the President as an example of someone who has never run anything in his life.
“This is a disaster. And it’s a train wreck that anybody who’s managed anything, ever in their lives could have seen coming.”
Governor Christie also said that the whole Obamacare program is a “failure.”
Many expect Christie to throw his hat in the ring for the GOP nomination for President in 2016 and he is widely considered a “frontrunner” for the nomination at this time.
Christie often angers conservatives with his less than conservative views on guns, big government and other areas and during Super Storm Sandy was widely criticized for hugging President Obama as the chief executive toured the disaster areas. Conservatives complain that Christie’s embrace of Obama helped defeat Mitt Romney.
