Christie could have made his point without fellating Obama like he did.
I doubt it, actually. Obama knows how Christie feels about him. I’m sure he made it very clear that C had better kowtow to him while he was there.
Think about it: Christie probably knows that he can’t aspire to the Presidency unless he loses a hundred pounds or so. (That’s just reality: the public at large doesn’t have respect for people who are obese these days.) So the highest office he can aspire to is what he has. I’m sure for that reason, plus his own commitment to his state, that he wants to do the best he can for his state. If that means licking Obama’s shoes ... then I guess that’s what he’s going to do.
