What is it with Christie and other Republicans....don't THEY know that you NEVER say anything good or positive about your ENEMY, THE SOCIALIST OBOMA. Christie should only be commenting on what HE is doing as it pertains to the storm..he should not be complimenting or speaking positively about obozo in any way...only speak of obozo when you catch the Socialist liar attempting to damage the Conservatives/Republicans/Citizens of the USA.

Anything obozo does is only done for the good POLITICAL effect it may have. Why is it that Christie and other Republicans have to kiss the butt of oboma occasionally?...do they hope to receive a perk here or there from obozo in return?...does Christine receive perks from obozo?

Christie is suppose to be so outspoken, hard hitting, and yet his so-called strategy against obozo plays right in to obozo’s hands...Christie kisses obozo’s butt and someone should grab him by his chubby jowels and enlighten him to the fact that We The People see right through that ploy, and kick HIS azz for the moves he makes that aid and abet the ENEMY OBOZO.

“At this point, I do not know what motivated Christie’s “GREAT credit” remark about the present inhabitant of the White House.”

I think the answer is within the story — Obama speeded up declaring NJ a disaster area “without all the red tape.” Remember, Christie represents a Blue state and is up for re-election next year, so he has everything to gain by cozying up to Obama.

I’m trying to analyze Christie; he has some very good things to say at times, often things everyone is thinking, but no one else will say, but a lot of the time he just doesn’t seem to know when to STFU. He’s a bloviator who seems to think he has to be expelling hot air 100% of the time.

Not buying it. He could have easily praised the President’s efforts and those of various federal agencies in expediting the relief efforts here in NJ... without getting on his knees.

Oh really? Ask the folks on top of their roofs. Ask the folks who are without power for a long while (me included)...I finally bought a portable internet server so I can use the computer without power...best money I spent. Anyway, it is EASY to say the storm was no big deal when you don’t deal with it. You sound like those nuts who said 9/11 was no big deal.

He is known nationally as a Romney spokesman.

Well then Romney's in trouble. Just last night Cristie said "I could give a damn about the Presidential election."

I'm glad you didn't see the thread that was just pulled.

Bottom line is this: if people do not take care of people, Obama has a GREAT argument for the GOVERNMENT doing it for us.

And those who advocate against caring because of the region in the country where the disaster took place, it only makes for a great Obama ad.

> What storm? It’s bad enough the press overhyped Sandy, let’s not do it here. I mean, this hurricane fizzled. There is no disaster.

Tell that to my Dad on Long Island whose house is now filled with water.

Don’t be a jerk about this.

This election is not “in the bag” yet.

I don’t know if you actually watched Fox and Friends this morning with Christie’s comments, but I did.

He was rude and ridiculously over the top. He was simply asked about Romney going to NJ and he lost it.

Sorry Christie... I do think this election is important. Yes even more important than this disaster. We can and will recover from Sandy, but we will NEVER recover from another Obama term.
Actually as I type this I just heard the talking heads talk about Christie’s praise.

Christie’s praise of a man that deserves none was wrong. I am really pissed off about it. Thank God Romney didn’t choose him for VP. You would never hear this crap coming out of Ryan’s mouth.

Christie was just on with Shepard Smith; he looked like he just woke up with a horse’s head in his bed. More praise of Obama.. .and “peoples’ lives are more important than politics. He looked like a big fat rat to me. You know that they will be using him in a political ad for the worthless commie.

You’re correct.

Right when I heard that fat rhino say it, I knew the rat party was going to use it in an ad.

Everyone on this thread defending Christie should know that his words will be spread wider than Jersey.

“Not buying it. He could have easily praised the President’s efforts and those of various federal agencies in expediting the relief efforts here in NJ... without getting on his knees.”

I agree — not defending Christie, just giving you the likely reasoning as to why he did what he did. He could have easily done this a lot more low-key, but this is a prime example of why I would not support this guy for POTUS. He’s been great in some areas (like tough on unions), but at times he seems to go out of his way to look bi-partisan and in the past even criticize Republicans for no good reason. And let’s not forget in 2010 he endorsed Mike Castle for DE Senator — one of the biggest RINOS out there.

Bottom line — Christie is not a reliable conservative and we would be making a huge mistake to back him whenever he might decide to run.

Does not matter whatvCheistie does. He could endorse Obama and Obama would still lose.

All I can say is I’m really REALLY grateful Christie is not our nominee. I like his personality sometimes- but I don’t trust him.

This would have been a good time for him to say - we appreciate the president’s response. PERIOD.

This is an internet forum. Speculation is what we do. That's why the internet was invented.
