You can make an argument either way - I've watched Christie in the buildup and I've watched him in the aftermath. A lot of people criticized him for being nice to Obama - he needed him to release federal aid, what was he supposed to do? Tell him "No thanks, we got it covered"?
Christie hasn't suger-coated this, and any mis-steps he may have made I'll attribute to the same failing the rest of us suffered - no frame of reference. We've never seen anything like this here, none of us could have imagined the damage. But overall, I think he's done a terrific job and shown a lot of leadership.
Sorry for the cal-idiot remark, but it doesn't change the fact that you live 3000 miles from here and you see what's covered, you really don't know what life on the ground here is like. I live right here on the coastline, I'm seeing it every day. BTW, Christie's odd\even gas rationing went into effect over the weekend and the gas situation has improved dramatically. The grocery stores that have power are starting to get more supplies and things are slowly improving. None of these things would have happened without Christie.
Try to be concise. I could only endure one paragraph of your blather.
