Christie: Rooted In Pride, I'll Do What's Best For NJ

The following from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's State of the State speech before a joint session of the New Jersey State Legislature today:

In the last year, we have begun a new movement in New Jersey. 

A movement back to our roots.

Back to economic dynamism and growth.

Back to pride in our State.

We cannot say today where it will lead and all that will come of it.

But we know that the path of change is better than the path of stagnation that we were on.

I was determined when I took the oath of this office to give the people an honest assessment of our problems.

To tell them the truth, even if it was difficult and my proposed solutions were unpopular.

And to this day, I ask that I be measured by that standard—I will always do what I said I was going to do.

I may not offer the easiest course, but I will be direct in saying which course I believe to be the best.
