"Nobody could have foreseen..."

Sharon GR over at the Center of NJ Life makes a very good point regarding Christie's whining that he didn't know things would be so bad:

Second: We all know how bad were the fiscal problems you inhereted were; we all did. If you didn't, I suggest in the future you read the newspaper. Be aware how utterly disingenuous you sound every time you complain about it- and then insist you're not complaining about it.

Disingenuous is exactly right: he knew what he was in for. He knew what he wanted to do. He lied about it during the campaign.

Remember back in the 2000 campaign, when W told us we had to cut taxes on the rich because the surplus could get too big. And then, when the deficit grew, the cure was - cut taxes for the rich!

It's the same here. Christie had an agenda - busting public unions - coming in no matter what. He's not responding to anything, and it sounds both disingenuous and stupid when he pretends otherwise.
