The livestream is actually several seconds ahead of the televised speech.

We can thank, Obama administration if 'New Jesey come back has begun'! It is indeed good news for all of America... dow that was brouht down to 7000 is back over 12500. Obama' lending his strong unshakable shoulder to the sagging economy helped prevent the Republican lead annhilation of American economy from descending unstoppably into deep depression. From there it was only a matter of time when economic would take its natural course to recovery.

OMG... if anything, Christie was able to spur a NJ recovery despite Obama's failed policies...

Governor is defending Bush tax cuts and attacking Governor Cuomo's taxing the rich. He is attacking teachers also as if all teachers are underperforming.

He's a liar and a hypocrite!

Governor, - instead of allowing wineries to direactly mail alcohol to homes, please stop alcohol exposure to high school kids! Attacking rhetoric against the teachers is no education reform.

It sounds like I am the only one watching 'the state of state'!

All above comments are in response to live webcast of the state of state!

I agree with all of us being in it together. But Governor, Sir, your address seems all same old political rehtoric and little new. I expected better from a intellignet Governor like you. Good at rhetoric but devoid of any bright ideas!

Is he gonna talk about the Mcdonald's that he had opened at the governor's mansion?

^ Mr. Khan - I believe the Governor said today that he would call for reform that would replace under performing teachers, not all teachers. He said replacing them with a teacher who only has an average performance is better than keeping an average teacher in his/her position - how is that unfair? First in last out is outdated and unfair - tenure reform is long overdue. Thank goodness Christie has the guts to stand up to the teacher's union and really put our children first.

Sorry, meant to type "replacing them with a teacher who only has an average performance is better than keeping an UNDER performing teacher in his/her position"

My property taxes have gone up significantly under Christie. This is because he has slashed previously issued state funds for basic infrastructure and local tax increases have been necessary to recoup the difference.

Christie's gift of gab is what won him the governorship and he continues to use it to attack the vulnerable sections of New Jersey electorate such as teachers and state employees. Republican formula is to attack the goverment all the time starting with teachers/policemen all the way up to the president and yet relentlessly pursue the power to benefit the cronies. Bush crony-economy destroyed America. Christie tried to make a big hero of himself by going after a few state jobs for teachers and other state employees.
How does he propose to pay for 10% cuts?

Well, Mr. Corzine was a terrible legislature. Mr. Christie wants to scale back school funding, for what? Between our failing infrastructure and the ignorance of our political leaders to invest in education, how can we cut our taxes by 10%? Also if short term memory is on the fritz, remember Bret Schundler, he had put together a great plan in order for New Jersey to receive some 400 million in education funding from the Feds? Remember who blew that one, you got it, the Governor, just because he did want to look as though he was in bed with the NJEA. Who suffered? Our Kids! Of course the Governor blamed Mr. Schundler. (I apologize if I didn't spell his name correctly. Now, I believe that the Governor has done some good things, such as pension reform for state workers. We, as a state cannot continue to suppliment the pensions and health care the way we have in the past. If we had made the changes to new hires and those who have less than 5 years, I don't have a problem. with that. I guess the reference to the President and his comment on Mr. Corzine must be similar to Mr. Bush's reference to Ken Lay? Now that was genious! Or how about Jeffery Skilling? Bravo!!! How about the axis of evil and the 9/11 trajedy? I absolutely agreed with the President going into Afghanistan but as soon as he announced that we were going into Iraq, what for? I thought that we were going to go after those who were responsible for the twin towers destruction. Nice move!

@ Paul...you nee dto shed off some of that baisness when it comes to military intervention around the world, in as much as GW is an idiot and should be brought up on war crimes the current administration is just as bad...Libya...arming 1000 freedom fighters, HYPOCRACY, how about IRAN CONTRA same thing, and please dont use the lame excuse of the UN, thay are a puppet, what about Somalia and this adminstration step up of boots in the continent of South Africa...Look I am for holding accountable every administration that has used the military as their personal war game toy...we should not be endulging this country in civil wars in foreign lands PERIOD

MS. We weren't involved in Libya as much as you want to believe. Here's one, what GW couldn't do in eight years, BO did in two! He got Osama! I believe in each countryies sovereign rights. I don't believe that we should bomb Iran as almost half of the people there are against the current Government. I agree with you but we should be out of Iraq, Saudi, Afghanistan. First, we can't afford these wars, and just think how much we could have saved in Iraq when we spent nearly 2 million dollars an hour! Again, every Administration had good policy and bad policy. GW had the largest of bad to good! War is nothing more than an end by other political means

Only new jersey has an unemployment rate over 9%. Good job Christie!

I don't have the kind of time you do!

U really shouldn't be so quick to insult people Max! What makes u better than anybody else? You're ability to search the web all day? Or are you just plain better than everyone else?

Settle down tiger. You were also wrong by saying Obama brought unemployment over 9%. The.national average is 8.5% . Should I be a dick to you now?

Unemployment claims are at the lowest since 2008. Nationally .....

Oh, now statistics are meaningless! Go figure.....

I know that. That is what our governor is best at!

Of course you think that. How would u know who I voted for? You're a very nasty person Max. Lifes too short to be so miserable. I feel bad for you

Atta boy, resort to name calling. Very classy.. pitiful!

Thanks Miserable Max! You know if you leave your computer, there's a whole world out there to enjoy. Keep looking up those useless facts buddy and life will just pass you by, more than it already has.

It is what you make it King Max!

I 'd love to see Christie live with his family of 4 on $732 a month because he thinks that's enough and doesn't require assistance thanks a lot 2 babies in diapers and exhausted unemployment benefits and now bc I get child support of $742 a month to live off of with 3 kids I can't qualify you need to rethink.. homeless prevention of NJ has a 2 yr waiting list who's paying my rent now?? When I 'm homeless should I knock on your door?? please seriously I'm educated and this is why so many ppl are doing drastic things bc ur policies are hurting us..

@Donna: CC couldn't EAT on $732/month, let alone live on it.
@James & Max: Obama is, at the same time, both inept/ineffective AND so powerful that he is dismantling democracy as we know it. Amazing, isn't it? Where's Ronald Reagan when you need him...Saint Ronnie: come back!!!

Gov Christie is decisive and a very effective leader of a dysfunctional state government he inherited and he is the best Gov period
