Prescription
A first-term governor whose paucity of government experience may be just what the doctor ordered, Mr. Christie is a jumble of political contradictions.

The New York Times fires a warning shot across the bow of a possible Christie presidential bid. Their attacks - in the guise of objective reporting - will surely increase should Christie decide to run. Note also the Times's concern about "paucity government experience." They said exactly the same thing about Obama. Just kidding!

Yet another example demonstrating the end result of Liberals meddling in the private sector.
