Bill Clinton lauds Chris Christie
CNN ^ | June 14, 2013 | Ashley Killough

"The enduring image most Americans have of you is standing there in your jacket, grieving with your people, working with them and working with the president," Clinton said to Christie during an onstage discussion at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in Chicago.

Christie drew sharp criticism from his own party for putting aside politics as he stood side-by-side with President Barack Obama, who was up for re-election in mere days, when the president traveled to New Jersey to survey the destruction.

Despite their political disagreements, Christie and Obama have maintained that relationship, and Christie again openly embraced the president's visit to the shore last month.

Consistent with Christie's independent outspokenness - a trait that has lost him favor among many conservatives in the GOP - Christie fervently made the case Friday that government is needed in times of crises.

One course I have always considered, but gets poo-pooed by others, is secession of the “red” districts from the territory formerly known as “the United States of America”, not on a state-by-state basis, but by congressional districts. Then, the multitude of “blue” districts would be scattered and isolated, sometimes by great distance from each other, while the “red” part would form an almost contiguous area, pock-marked by these small and scattered “blue” districts.
***Interesting idea. Good place to bump the thread.

Despite all the truth you put forth, the American people don’t believe you. They believe “their bill”.

Bubba just gave Christie the kiss of death
