How Vindictive Is This Administration? Withholds $400M in Education Funds over clerical error UPDATE Gov. Chris Christie fires N.J. schools chief Bret Schundler

“ The Obama administration has made a serious mistake here: they’ve given Chris Christie an opening, a reason to take them on directly. And how does the old saying go? Never go up against a Sicilian, when political credibility is on the line? ”

In presenting this video, The Corner's Daniel Foster makes the case for this being another case of a petulant Obama getting even.   Watching Chris Christie here, this morning, convinced me that he is unbeatable, at this point in time, as a presidential candidate.  Unbeatable. Furthermore, his can-do attitude is the pivotal quality necessary for any leader attempting to save us from a looming financial collapse.I believe he could do it.  Time for a band-wagon. Update “ But on Thursday, the U.S. Department of Education released a video of that presentation that showed neither Schundler nor the other four people from New Jersey's delegation were able to come up with the information for the correct budget years. ” While this does not substantively change the story's thrust, it does I think further burnish Christie's rep as a no-nonsense administrator.  I can remember when Bret Schundler himselfwas a shining hope for New Jersey.  Too bad he lost his compass.
