for Bernie Madoff and his pals. And does he want federal fraud laws to exempt securities fraud?

telling Buffett to "Shut up".

Can you imagine this loud-mouthed gasbag telling the richest man in the world to "Shut up"? I'm sure that Buffett doesn't really consider Christie anything worthy of attention or even the time of day however.

What difference does it make how much money he has? Does his wealth mean that we poor people are not allowed to speak to him in a disrespectful manner? Perhaps we should all curtsy when a rich person enters the room?

I don't like Chris Christie, but implying that rich people shouldn't be told to shut up simply because they're rich is BS.

who is a Governor of a state. It's no different than the Governor of Arizona mouthing off on the tarmac.

Christie belies the office in which he serves, showing complete lack of diplomacy or respect as an office-holder.

This is the biggest problem that the President himself faces - pure, unadulterated lack of respect. I wouldn't encourage that kind of crap, let alone out of any head of a government.
