Christie Bridges Differences
Governor Chris Christie couldn’t sleep. He woke up to the nightmare that members of his staff had tied up traffic on the George Washington bridge because the mayor of Fort Lee, NJ. had failed to endorse him. He says he was completely in the dark.
Christie Bridges Differences with Mayor
If he runs for president, Christie is expected to campaign against just that sort of fat cat abuse of government power. He apologized to the little people and the mayor in a two your press conference.
The Obama administration got into the act by letting it be known a US attorney is investigating. Speaking of abuse of power the WSJ says:

Gates’ Book
Update:
The Democrats hoped to change the subject for the new year from ObamaCare to income inequality. Former defense secretary Robert Gates, a Republican, didn’t get the memo.
A WSJ review of his new book, Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary of War says Gates treated Bush and Obama in a nonpartisan way. But Bob Woodward’s review in the Washington Post called the book an emotional and seething critique of Obama’s top aids.
Gates didn’t hold back. He called Congress “ugly”, said Biden was wrong on every foreign policy issue for the last forty years, and criticized Obama for making national security choices based on getting re-elected.
Light Bulb Ban

Light Bulb Ban
A story in the Washington Examiner blames the light bulb ban on a conspiracy between big makers of the low margin bulbs and government.

The ocean and canals near Obama’s Hawaiian vacation home are off limits to local residents while he is there. The vacation is expected to cost taxpayers $4 million.
Individual Mandate Unravels
The latest Friday document dump featured another ObamaCare proclamation. If your insurance was canceled because it was a substandard bad apple you can buy another substandard bad apple plan. Or you can take a one year break from the individual mandate and go without.
The WSJ headlined, “Obama Repeals ObamaCare”
Dick Morris claims ObamaCare is dead because the unraveling will accelerate next year when group plans are canceled.
