Totally ridiculous story and assumption perhaps Christie is doing something wrong which may hurt Romney.

People are in pain and they’re is great suffering in NJ. To believe Christie should ignore or nitpick the Administration response and Obama is IMO dumb. If he did this he would indeed do damage both to himself and Romney because he would be roundly criticized for putting politics ahead of the pain and suffering of his own citizens.

Most rational post so far. Well done Lacey2. You may be much too mature for this thread;)

Nobody here is suggesting that he brush obama off or nitpick his response. He could have been polite to the president and recognized that the administration was willing to help without spending 2 days very publicly lavishing obama with unwarranted and unnecessary sloppy kisses. Christie made a fool of himself in my opinion...but I always thought he was a buffoon anyway.

Agree 100%!!!

he needed to shut up and wait to see how oama deals wiht this and thus far not very good.

Ny Mayor saud no to the photo op , Christie said yet and then harped on about how the people need to see him and have a hug off him , WTH, he;s not God like obama is not God.

Christie is also Romney spokesmanand has now helped obama instead Christis coudl have kept him big mouth shut , I know it’s hard for him as he likes ot mouth off a lot but he should have shut it.

Obama is now off to toher states after the photo op , where are the FEMA trailers, where is the gasoline, where is FEMA, many towns have said they have seen no one but hey oabma got hims photo op and now is out in other states.

It is about time some on our side to wake up and understand how th emedia spins issues and helped the Dems

It is one thing to cooperate and work with Obama. It is another to “orgasmically” praise him for simply showing up.

Thanks for your response. I live in central NJ and I'm no fan of Christie; he is rightly doing what needs to be done. Not only working with the Feds but getting help from other governors across the country. The Media is not reporting how badly NJ got slammed.

I just had to run a quick local errand and what I saw made the problems from the freak snow storm last Halloween look like a piece of cake. No gas stations open. Massive trees down everywhere, often wrapped in a power line. The bank had limited service. Many side streets blocked off with police tape (downed power lines). A traffic jam at local food store that was open.

I'm extremely fortunate ... only lost power for a few hours and the only damage was to a shed; no water from the surge. This despite two huge tree limbs that flew in and take up most of the back yard.

Exactly. New Jersey was bankrupt before Hurricane Sandy even got its name, and Christie needs Uncle Sam to pay 100% of the recovery and clean-up costs here.

It really is that simple, folks.
