oooo....nuance! Some people are so smart they can be on both sides of an issue, for something before they’re against it, and praise someone you’re going to vote against.
Too late, fatso. When the future of the free world is at stake, if you don’t have something negative to say, don’t say anything at all. There is a big picture here...
Walk it back all you want Gov Kristie Kreme. As far as republicans and conservatives go, you just earned yourself the title of one term governor.
Too late Crispy. You have become persona non grata in the Republican Party.
If Mitt loses, you are 100% responsible.
It would have been one thing if Obama had actually done a good job, but Christie knows that’s not the case.
Chris Christie is an ass. He may have added anywhere from 2-3 points to Obama with his stupid asinine comments praising Obama for doing that he’s supposed to do and they were only words not actions.
I sure wish we could fix all of the world’s problems with just one half hour helicopter ride. I mean, the “messiah” flew over the disaster area and everything was solved. Fluking amazing!
No forgiveness ever for the walking coronary. And his speech at the convention was a self serving embarrassment too.
The tough talking governor could not handle a crisis. He had an emotional breakdown. It is understandable but it shows he is not suitable for a larger office. Any national aspirations he had will not happen unless he becomes a Democrat. The Modern Democratic Party does not seem to mind having weak leaders.
I’m not defending CC. He committed a political no-no. However, I—and many of us—liked him precisely because of his blunt, tell-you-what-he-think style. So, perhaps he was impressed at the speed of 0bama’s team responding to the hurricane last week, even if 0bama’s motivation was simply to make good photo-ops. So, I wouldn’t be calling him traitor or anything like that. Reckless politician, may be.
I hope you (Christie) or one of your staff are reading these comments, because you need to know your fate with conservatives is sealed. You sir, are scum. Just as Bart Stupack became a traitor to the pro-life movement with his support of Obamacare, you are a traitor to all conservatives. I cannot WAIT to work against your re-election. This will be fun.
My thinking is, just what is Christie supposed to do? He needs certain Federal resources and waivers. His state was just hit by a hurricane that communities there have no experience in dealing with, (unlike a state like Florida). The damage was dramatic. The emotional pain of the folks and towns that lost everything was even more dramatic.
Christie needed to strike for Federal Largess while the iron was hot. In a few days the cameras will be gone and so will the attention given the area. Communities like Seaside and a whole host of others will be relegated to the local news.
It will be a very long, years, if not decades long process to bring back what was lost. In a sense, the folks that lost their homes due to fire in Breezy Point New York, have it made. They will be covered, but those that lost their homes due to flooding will not. This will wipe out a great many families and communities.
So Christie gave the President a photo op. He made Obama look presidential. Well, Obama SHOULD go to the stricken areas. Christie needed to stress the assets he needed for his state right now. He had a chance to bend the Federal Ear. Hopefully he used that time well.
But now Obama owns the hurricane after the inevitable gov’t response. Afterall, there is only so much a President can do. And, perhaps Christie gave Obama the rope to hang himself. After praising the President, everyone that is cold and hungry and without shelter can look to Obama for the cause of their misery. After all Obama took ownership.
As a reporter many years ago and in a different life, I met Bush the Elder in Santa Cruz and Mrs Quayle in Watsonville after the Quake of 1989. It is important for the folks in Washington D.C. get out and see for themselves, what nature hath wrought. It was these people that voted them in office (perhaps), it was these communities that gave the mantle of power to the office holder.
Is this the SNL skit??????
Kiss off Chris. Your credibility is shot.
What specifically did Obama do that was a “good job”?
Here’s my pledge, Governor Fat Jerk, I will never, ever vote for you, so help me God.
Fat boy self destructed. Purge the RINO.
Little Chrisie’s nose is out of joint. He was SO CLOSE to being Romney’s VP -
Looks like we missed a bullet there. We don’t need fair weather friends. I’m thinking it was the Establishment oeratives that were pushing Christie - but Romeny went for a more solid man...
this bodes well. It indicates Romney will be his own man - and we know he can’t be bribed - he’s given away more money and worked for free for years (No salary as Gov., gave away 1.8 million salary that went with the 3 years saving the Olympics, worked 10+ years as Bishop of his church without salary (thats sandard), turning away millions. ..so he can’t be bought.

And what good work was that besides showing up for a photo-op?
