Governor Christie also had a few choice things to say about President Obama’s woeful briefing on the economy this morning.

Christie just went after Obama for presser line about state and local hiring not being high enough. "That’s the right direction," he says.

Christie: Obama has the "audacity" to blame mayors and governors "for not hiring more people for government work."
— Molly Ball (@mollyesque) June 8, 2012
Christie: "Barack Obama is driving this business, the United States of America, towards a fiscal cliff."
— Molly Ball (@mollyesque) June 8, 2012
Christie: "The job of a leader, the job of a governor, the job of a president, is to get the people in the room and bang enough heads…"
— Molly Ball (@mollyesque) June 8, 2012
Christie: "I heard the president say something today that is one of the core differences between who we are and what he represents."
— Molly Ball (@mollyesque) June 8, 2012
RT @jonward11: Christie says it's an "outrage" for Obama to blame governors and mayor for the economy.

Oh yeah! RT @LOLGOP: Does Chris Christie come on stage Kool-Aid style at CPAC? If not, total wasted opportunity.
