Anyone who has executive or managerial experience on a large level knows... [View all]

Chris Christie is full of shit. Competent Execs. on all levels know exactly whats going on in all levels of their operations. His explanation is just ridiculous and makes him sound like an idiot..

I managed a large retail operation and knew what was going down on every level of the operation.
Its called being ultimately responsible for everything which goes down. I hired people to keep me fucking updated on everything, no matter how insignificant the matter might be..

"Everything starts on the top" is not a phrase to be taken lightly by any executive or manager of any business..

Give me a break Christie...
