sea, effectively ending his political career. he certainly can t run for president of the united states if he was forced by his fellow governors to resign under pressure from the rga, which is why i think that s unlikely to happen until or unless more information becomes available. let s listen to some of chris christie s inaugural address today. we cannot fall victim to the attitude of washington, d.c. the attitude that says i am always right and you are always wrong. the attitude that puts everyone into a box that they are not permitted to leave, the attitude that puts political victories ahead of policy agreements. the belief that compromise is a dirty word. it was one thing to give a speech like that a month ago. today, that kind of talk requires an authority that just didn t seem present to me.
because trenton may get a pile of snow. usa today/pew poll show that his favoritability has doubled. kicking off inaugural events. at a swearing in, he is expected to say the following. we have to be able to play outside the red and blue boxes the media pundits put us in. the attitude of washington, d.c. that says i am always right and you are always wrong, the attitude that puts political wins ahead of policy agreements. boy, that was something that three weeks ago would have sounded like, ah, we know exactly the type of candidate that chris christie wants to be in presidential contests. now those words don t mean as much, do they? railed against democratic mayors with a political ax to grind who are, quote, trying to get their faces on television, this message now with an audience that may take it with a grain of saul. christie is also planning to say
going to mention sandy. he s also going to be talking about the benefits of small government. we can tell you based on some of the excerpts that we ve seen, he s going to say in part, we will fight to continue to change government so that we value our differences and honor the strength of our diversity. we cannot fall victim of the attitude of washington, d.c., the attitude that says i am always right and you are always wrong, and the attitude that puts everyone into a box they are not permitted to leave. the attitude put political wins ahead of policy agreements. the belief that compromise is a dirty word. so that s just a snippet of what we expect to hear today from governor christie. we can also tell you that the church service that wrapped up a short time ago at new hope baptist church ran between 45 minutes and an hour. it was a lively service, we re told. we re also told at one point the pastor of new hope, and you may remember new hope baptist
