Chris Christie says, “I’m not arrogant enough to believe that after one year as governor I am ready to be President”

Hmmmmm. That seems subtle. Wonder who he’s talking about. Who’s been elected President recently without enough experience to handle the job? We just can’t put our finger on it, damn it.

The Hill reported Christie’s candor:

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) brushed off a Zogby poll from earlier this month that showed him leading a pack of hypothetical GOP 2012 contenders, adamantly stressing that’s not in his plans.

“The president can rest easy because the only guy who beats him in that poll isn’t running,” Christie said on “Fox News Sunday.”

“I have a commitment to my state,” he said, adding that he’d only been governor for a year and New Jersey’s problems still need fixing.

“You have to believe in your heart that you’re personally ready to be president and I’m not there,” Christie said. “I am not arrogant enough to believe that after one year as governor … that I am ready to be president of the United States.”

“So I’m not going to run,” the governor said.

Yeah, we know. We’ve heard all the complaints that Christie really isn’t a real conservative, but we still love the guy.

The other way to interpret Christie’s statement is that he thinks he will be ready to be President after he’s been Governor for some as yet unspecified period of time.

Can you say 2016?
