Christie is a pig (not referencing his weight). He will NEVER get my vote if he runs nationally.
Same page as you - he’s dead to me on a national scale. It’s one thing to be polite to the President of the United States during a disaster - it’s another to willingly make sure you give him great photo ops DAYS before a closely contested election where the other side made you the keynote speaker for their convention. Utterly classless and self-serving. Christie demonstrated which side he’s on when push comes to shove, and hopefully we aren’t alone in having LONG memories.
Is it possible - just maybe- that he was thinking more about the people of his own state who had just gotten slammed by a hurricane, and less about Obama and the election? In other words - exactly what he said?
Not sticking up for the guy, nor am I here to argue or defend him; but trying merely to see from another perspective. I can’t figure out why he would fraternize with the enemy at that specific moment in time.
Other posters out here said variously that he may have been pissed that Romney chose Ryan over him as VP (but that doesn’t make sense, because he emphatically said that he didn’t want the VP slot - he was finishing out his governor term);
The other line I read was that he was trying to ensure that he would be re-elected in Jersey - a heavy Dem state - so he may have been doing this to hedge that bet a bit.
Thoughts?
I’m not saying that it was the right thing to do, and I’m pretty pissed about it as you are, as well.
Bush/Christie 2016
Hahahahaha!!!
