NJ Governor Chris Christie tells it like it is, why do people on the left hate him for it?

I read the entire article and I still don't see anything but a writer who clearly doesn't like the gov.

The lefties and liberal press hates Christie because he's not afraid of them or anybody else, and is very willing to stomp a few toes in order to fix NJ's wretched balance sheet and overall economy, including their horrendous schools.

They undoubtedly know that he would make an extremely formidable candidate for President should he choose to run in 2016 or beyond.

Scott Walker is doing a phenomenal job of displaying to the entire country why Democrats are cowards; the dreadful balance sheets from Greece to NY, CA, IL, MI & elsewhere, as well as the Democratic response (leave the state) is a superb lesson for the entire American electorate on how not to run a country or state is a blistering indictment of their entire mindset and methodology.

That front page article in yesterday's USA TODAY detailing the 25% decline in the population of that Democrat-created-and-100% certifiable hellhole known as Detroit since the last census in 2000 is another withering indictment of their party and policies.

I'll do you one better; there are school districts in NJ with ZERO schools/children in them...

This to me, is Christie in a nutshell, and perfectly presents why he is such a great Governor:

The Truth Booed Lustily : RichardCYoung.com

"As Mr. Chrisie recounted it: “You can imagine how that was received by 7,500 firefighters. As I walked into the room and was introduced. I was booed lustily. I made my way up to the stage, they booed some more. . . . So I said, ‘Come on, you can do better than that,’ and they did!” He crumpled up his prepared remarks and threw them on the floor. He told them, “Here’s the deal: I understand you’re angry, and I understand you’re frustrated, and I understand you feel deceived and betrayed.” And, he said, they were right: “For 20 years, governors have come into this room and lied to you, promised you benefits that they had no way of paying for, making promises they knew they couldn’t keep, and just hoping that they wouldn’t be the man or women left holding the bag. I understand why you feel angry and betrayed and deceived by those people. Here’s what I don’t understand. Why are you booing the first guy who came in here and told you the truth?”"
