Speaking to a gathering of about 150 Republicans in a West Des Moines ballroom, Christie said the last thing the country needs is "another college professor" as commander-in-chief, and proceeded to criticize everything from President Barack Obama's handling of foreign affairs to fellow Republicans' handling of the Patriot Act standoff.
