The biggest obstacle to Chris Christie's nomination for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination may come from the classroom.

Courtesy of Jersey Jazzman:

Well, I was in a crowd of all Christie supporters with my sign. They were all eyeing me apprehensively. A few tried to stare me down. Some of them even blocked me from the crowd. When his bus arrived one of his henchmen went on the bus to speak to him. I was right at the door. It was like he was told to deliberately turn away from me when he got off of the bus. 

I went to listen to him speak. I stood in the front of the crowd that was standing towards the back. I know he caught sight of me. He stared at me a few times during his speech. I left right as his speech was over to position myself right at the door of the bus. He came out, shaking everyone's hands as he was getting on the bus. 

I asked him my question, expecting him to ignore me but he suddenly turned and went off. I asked him: "Why do you portray our schools as failure factories?" His reply: "Because they are!" He said: "I am tired of you people. What do you want?" 

I told him I want money for my students. He fought back with the amount that he has spent on education. My response was along the lines of the fact his amount was not actually an increase from the previous years, given the rate of inflation and other factors. 

The crowd started arguing with me. He screamed at me to just do my job. The crowd cheered for him. I just looked at them and told them: "Hey, this is my life. I had to do this." I tried to follow him to Atlantic City to continue the conversation but the roads were blocked by police when I got there. 

"I am tired of you people. What do you want?"

How about a Governor and presidential candidate who respects education and supports the teachers who provide it?

As we know Christie has kind of made yelling at teachers "his thing." However I have to imagine that the majority of voters do NOT see them as the whiny, over privileged  parasites that he does.

Illinos Congressman, and deadbeat dad, Joe Walsh comes unhinged with his constituents.

Not only does this asshole throw a tantrum like a petulant child, he is completely wrong!

Walsh is essentially pissed of that the people in this room, his own constituents, have a better handle on what caused the banking crisis than he does.

If this guy represented my district in Congress  I would be red faced with embarrassment.  But on the other hand I would be extremely proud of how my fellow Illinois residents handled a clearly out of control megalomaniac.

It is actually too bad this video does not capture the first part of the conversation, which I saw someplace else earlier, where the lady who suggests that Walsh get a cup of decaf, totally schools him on what really caused the problems we are facing today. I think that is what essentially inspired his irrational tirade.
