VIDEOS: A DOUBLE DOSE OF NJ GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie just keeps on impressing audiences and viewers with his message - his inexplicable support for Mike Castle notwithstanding. Here are two videos of him that will not disappoint. First up, he identifies by name, a man he sees as the perfect example of the greedy mindset of high ranking government union officials. The man's name is LeRoy Seitz, Superintendent of the Parsippany public school district in New Jersey.

Christie's reason for singling out Seitz? Salary caps for Superintendents are set to go into place beginning in February of next year. Seitz's current contract ends in July. Christie's charge is that Seitz saw the writing on the wall and didn't want to accept the cut in pay so he pushed for a school board vote to give him a five-year contract extension that will pay more than $220,000 / year, which is well over the coming cap.

Shortly after this speech, that vote took place and Seitz got that extension. He also got himself a Public Relations nightmare courtesy of his Governor. Awesome stuff:



Now for video number 2. Here, Christie explains why he is governing the way he is and assures people he will not back down.

True leadership on display.

PELOSI STAYING ON AS MINORITY LEADER

In the months preceding the November 2nd elections, a conservative mantra became a rallying cry for the Tea Party movement - 'FIRE PELOSI.' After the election, the mantra flipped when the talk of her staying on as minority leader would not subside. The new mantra for conservatives? 'HIRE PELOSI.' Even Democrats seemed to agree with the notion that keeping Pelosi on as the Democrats' House leader would be a very bad idea because it would keep the trio of Obama, Reid, and Pelosi in place as the three-headed monster responsible for the 2010 electoral tsunami.

It looks like Republicans got their wish - Pelosi will remain on as the leader of the Democrats. Via Fox News:

WASHINGTON -- House Democrats averted a messy leadership struggle, clearing the way for Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer to become second in command of their new minority without a challenge from South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn.

Under an arrangement worked out in private, officials said late Friday that Clyburn would instead receive a new position, title unknown and duties undescribed, explicitly labeled the third-ranking post in leadership.

The odd man out is obviously Clyburn and this should be newfound evidence for the 90% of blacks who consistently side with the Democrat party that it is indeed the Democrats who are racist. When the Democrats were the majority party, Pelosi was Speaker, Steny Hoyer was majority leader and Clyburn held the position of majority Whip. Now what?

Pelosi will take Hoyer's old role, Hoyer will take Clyburn's old role, and Clyburn is on the outside looking in while receiving assurance that he will be given a significant role while holding a position that doesn't even exist.

Another interesting theme that is developing is how Pelosi is holding onto her power. Despite multiple Democrats publicly saying they would prefer someone else lead the party in the House, Pelosi is running unopposed and Democrats are coming across like the soldiers in the Wizard of Oz afraid to confront the witch.

VIDEO: MSNBC'S MORNING JOE RAILS ON OBAMA, QUOTES DEMOCRATS

This really is an amazing piece of video from MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' program. It's amazing because it happened on MSNBC but more important, because of the sources that Joe Scarborough points to as having said it - several top Democrat Senators. The charge? Barack Obama 'has no idea what he's doing' and has completely alienated Republicans. Liberal spinmeister, Mika Brzezinski makes a lame attempt at a rebuttal and eventually realizes it's pointless but attempts to stick with her initial argument - Republicans have been allowed into the White House. She does so even after Scarborough outs her as having had the same discussions with the same Senators he said spoke with him. At one point, she looks straight into the camera and resembles a cross-eyed deer in the headlights.

Even co-panelist and staunch liberal Mike Barnicle admits to hearing from at least seven Democrat Senators that Obama is clueless. This is not small news. In fact, it seems to bolster the claims made by the alleged 'White House Insider' that Ulsterman has been talking to - more on that after the video.

A blog called Nice Deb has made an excellent connection between what was discussed on that video and the revelations given by an alleged 'White House Insider' to an anonymous blogger 'Ulsterman' in part three of the initial interview between the two. Here is one excerpt from that interview, originally posted on September 18th:

Insider:…we got Congressmen and Senators running for re-election right now whose political careers are about to be ended because they supported a president and a Democratic Party leadership that told them to do so. They trusted they would be politically protected, that the American people would agree with the agenda. Well guess what? That hasn’t happened. Good people, good Democrats, are being tossed aside like so much trash – and this White House DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN. In my eyes that is absolutely unforgivable. You just don’t do that to your own people. And some of these politicians are talking. They are – but for the most part the media is ignoring them because they don’t want to hurt the administration. To that I say enough! Do your damn job. Report what is going on within the Democratic Party. We need to clean up this mess, and it starts by getting the truth out there. That is my motivation.
