Here is question of the day: Is this genuine praise or is Christie looking to run for president in four years? I suggest both.

Regardless, widespread perception that Obama is doing a good job in response to Sandy, fueled by gushing praise from Christie may be enough to tip Virginia into the Obama column, and the election right with it.

For crying out, the jug eared one put on his big boy pants and is playing presidential so he can look good pretending to answer the phone and Crispy Cream falls hook line & sinker for it! I could understand a statement that he was grateful for the cooperation & assistance from the Feds, but to gush like a schoolgirl over Jughead was nauseating. He would have got the same response from the Feds no matter who was Prez. Does he really think Jughead is running the operations?

What a RINO! I don't think Tea Partiers are going to be gushing over Crispy in the future.

I started wondering this yesterday. If Romney wins Christie can forget about running for 8-16 years. If Osama wins he can run in 2016 as the great uniter not divider. I tell you this, he can kiss my lilly white ...

Tip the scales maybe. The rude slob should have kept from slobbering all over Obama.

While Christie went overboard with praise, I don’t think it will have any effect on the election. From what I saw, Christie is a life-long resident of NJ and was very emotional at the devastation he saw.

I think I’ll give him a pass on this. Obama is pandering and took advantage of Christie’s heart strings. No harm, no foul.
