During his appearance on Face the Nation today, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was asked by Bob Schieffer what he thought of Rick Santorum‘s comments criticizing President Obama‘s goals to encourage everyone in the United States to go to college. Santorum called Obama a “snob” for it, but Christie disagreed with this assessment. The governor said students should be at the very least encouraged to go to college.

Christie explained why he might agree more with President Obama than Santorum on this issue.

“We need to have an education system in New Jersey and all over the country that makes all of our kids, college or career-ready. It should be their choice. And not every kid wants to go to college, but I think we should aspire to let every child reach his maximum or her maximum potential. And if Senator Santorum’s against that, then I don’t think that makes any sense. And I certainly don’t think the president’s a snob for saying that. I think that’s probably over the line.”

1. HER maximum potential?

Santorum thinks women's potential is to be good wives, don't work, make as many babies as GOD wants, and HOMESCHOOL them.

2. I envoke the "broken clock" rule.

3. every once in a while

the bastard makes sense. it wouldn't make me vote for him.

4. Christie is a Northeast Republican. Do not expect too many of anyone

from this area of the country to dismiss education.

Still, vote Chris out next year.

5. Christie tends not to resort to as much nonsense mudslinging as other R's.

He said Sharia Law is crap and that Michelle Obama was doing a good thing getting kids to be healthier. In this case there's the added incentive of criticizing Santorum to help Romney, but I think this was pretty sincere. Obviously I wouldn't vote for him though.

6. Wow, I was waiting for him to say "it's none of your business".

7. We're in pretty bad shape when Christie comes off as a moderate.

8. Christie "talking sense".... I guess that will trigger another round of his public abuse on someone.

Just so the RW won't think he's actually become "sane."
