Ridgewood NJ, Christine Todd Whitman was parading herself on CNN knocking President on environmental issues. Whitman is same person that said “yes it’s save to breath the air during 9-11”. The same person that started the destruction of the NJ Public Employees Pension System. The same person that was a RINO for her entire term as Governor. How many people did she kill from cancer with that famous 9-21 call? Some folks have no shame!

You keep voting in theives and you’re gonna get robbed. Any time the unions want something, assume it’s bad for state and local tax payers”
