Bad optics.
It makes the George Washington Bridge traffic snarl story look likely, again.
Even Obama didn’t go and pose at one of the National Parks or veteran’s monuments he was paying park rangers overtime to shut down.
Anything depicting any part of Christie’s body, Kankles ankles or Moochelle’s ass is bad optics.
That was my thought when Christie closed the parks, for July 4 holiday, no less. It validates the idea that he'd do something vindictive. And to vacation on that closed beach?? What was he thinking?
One of the main complaints about Obama's actions when the gov "wasn't funded" was that closing parks and monuments was vindictive, and didn't punish the lawmakers who can't get their budget obligations done. There are plenty of other things to stop paying instead.
This recording is the Marine Band, NOT the University of Northern Colorado Symphonic Band I was a part of, though that recording is probably out there somewhere.
I am not even slightly a fan of Chris Christie.
That said, this is not even slightly his fault. Showing up on the beach may even be a Trumpian jujitsu maneuver - the press obsessing over it only highlights and keeps in the spotlight the Democrats’ failure to pass a budget.
Christie can forgedda-bout any future high office...this pic/story will come back to haunt him....as well as the whole vindictive bridge closure thang.
He also threw under the bus his aides who I bet he ordered to close the bridge.
