Governor Christie (R-N.J.) took to Twitter today to talk about leadership, the need for more private sector jobs and what the role of the federal government should be.
We need leaders who are willing to take risks. http://t.co/467zhUHA

But I also have to get everyone to acknowledge you’re not going to get everything you want.
— Governor Christie (@GovChristie) July 9, 2012
And once you get acknowledgement on both sides of that equation, you can find and force compromise as an executive.

Leadership is about nuance and about understanding and communicating to people.
— Governor Christie (@GovChristie) July 9, 2012
I think you have to lead by being yourself and who you are and then people will trust you. And when they trust you they'll follow you.

My message to the federal gov’t is: Please don't send me any more money to hire more public employees. http://t.co/94KPmLA0

Today New Jersey has few state employees that when Governor Whitman left in 2001.

If President and Congress want to spend money to create jobs, then spend it on infrastructure.

Spend the money to help build private sector jobs. Do something that will have a multiplier effect on economy.

Sending states federal funds to re-hire public employees is a temporary Band-Aid.

Crisis presents opportunities so we had to make difficult choices in New Jersey.
— Governor Christie (@GovChristie) July 9, 2012
We are doing the things that government is supposed to do.
— Governor Christie (@GovChristie) July 9, 2012
The sustainability of the choices we made lie in their common sense and fairness.
— Governor Christie (@GovChristie) July 9, 2012
You have to talk honestly about the difficult choices. You can say this is going to stink but in the end we are going to have a better day.

The governor’s straight talk is a hit with many.
