Obama Re-Election Team Reportedly Starts Digging in on Christie

An insider with President Obama's re-election campaign says it is not digging into Chris Christie's past to find dirt on the New Jersey governor but did not deny that somebody loyal to the president may be.

An Obama 2012 campaign source told Fox News that the campaign is not involved in efforts described in a New York Post story published Monday that says Obama operatives are "compiling a dossier" of material that could be used to damage Christie if he does a 180-degree shift and decides to run for president.

An Obama 2008 insider told Fox News that such efforts shouldn't be considered news.

"Any responsible campaign would at the very least start asking around about potential challengers. In fact, this is exactly the kind of thing that the media should be doing right now," the insider said. "Never has a field of presidential contenders gotten so little real scrutiny from the press corps."

ObaMao has all the charm of King Herod on learning that somewhere a future King of Israel may have been born.

I guess this is what you do when you can’t win on your record of abject failure.

I sure hope folks are still checking to see if ACORN has been fully disbanded. Obama won’t have a chance without ACORN.

BO has a past too. Time for someone to start TALKING about it—like Trump did.

I can think of 1 right away. If what little scrutiny was done, and what ever negative (a lot)was found, the MSM buried it.

Seems to me like they could be throwing Christie a head-fake...”now don’t you even THINK of running because we have so many people digging up dirt on you”, etc. Which seems to indicate that they desperately fear him getting in this race.

OR . . . They actually believe Christie is less of a threat than other potential candidates and they are trying to make folks think, “Whoa - Christie’s so scary that Obama’s operatives are running scared; therefore, Christie MUST be something special.” (i.e. Tom Sawyer and the fence). Just a thought.

I’m with you, as this sounds a lot like their ‘fear’ of Daniels...which was a joke, but did fool a lot of FReepers anyway.
