Christie to Obama on the Website Issue

Stop Digging, Mr President � The Dish:
“Here’s what my advice would be to him — don’t be so cute. And, when you make a mistake, admit it. If he was mistaken in 2009 an 2010 on his understanding of how the law would operate, then just admit it to people. ‘You know what? I said it and I was wrong. I’m sorry, and we’re gonna try to fix this and make it better.’ I think people would give any leader in that circumstance a lot of credit for just owning up to it. Instead of now trying — don’t try to lawyer it. People don’t like lawyers. I’m a lawyer – they don’t like them. When I saw that this morning, I saw that for the first time, and I thought, ‘he’s lawyering it. That’s Barack Obama the lawyer.’”
