[ Without Christie’s abhorrent stunt, this one would be a slam dunk.

I honestly hope he never wins another election as long as he lives. ]

Yep. Republicans should never forgive Christie fo picking Obama up when he was down and down big. Even worse, Christie gave him props he didn’t deserve! Christie should have said that it was too early to judge the federal response, that just using the destruction for a campaign stop wasn’t enough. I despise Chris Christie.

Actually, Christie embracing Obama and giving him credit for the emergency response effort helped the President “own” this crisis, even as FEMA and state and local government incompetence leads to prolonged suffering in New Jersey, New York City, and Long Island. As the week progresses and over a million people remain without power and lack of food and water plagues that area, it will not help Obama, even if the affected areas are “blue”. The MSM is weaker than it was four, much less 20, years ago. The scale of this disaster is harder to hide than the Libyan screw-up.

The effects of Sandy will hurt Obama, and continued incompetence on the part of New Jersey and New York officials will lead to office holders like Christie and Bloomberg suffer the fate of their Louisiana counterparts post-Katrina.
