New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slammed the National Rifle Association’s latest ad in which they accuse President Barack Obama of hypocrisy for sending his children to a school where they are protected by armed guards. Christie called the ad “reprehensible” and said that the NRA should not be “dragging people’s children” into the gun control debate.

“I think any of us who are public figures, you see that kind of ad and you cringe,” Christie said on Thursday at a news conference in Trenton. “I’m a father who is a public figure, who has four children and my children had no choice realistically in what I decided to do with my career and what affect that has had on their lives.”
“Don’t be dragging people’s children into this,” he added. “It’s wrong and I think it demeans them and it makes them less of a valid trusted source of information on the real issues that confront this debate.”
“Are the president’s kids more important than yours?” the narrator in the NRA advertisement asks. “Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school?”
“Mr. Obama demands the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, but he’s just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to a fair share of security,” the controversial ad concludes.

Mark Levin just talked about Christie.
Not me. We need to wall Jersey off, they messed up Pennsylvania.
Who thinks this guy is republican?
He’s been wearing Obama kneepads since before
the election, this is straight out of the DNC
talking points.
He is finished for 2016. There is nothing wrong with the NRA ad.
Good grief, Christie is downright dense.
he is way beyond a RINO.
what a fat pos..
When he and Obama hugged, he became possessed!
I suppose cremie is okay with 0’s EO’s yesterday with a backdrop of kid props.
Another one of our aspiring Lords and Masters who happens to have an ‘R’ in front of his name. Fat piece of filth.
Hypocrite Christie! Why did Obama surround himself with children for his “speech”. That’s a Hitler move! Christie has joined the dark side.
So using Kids as Human Shields like Obama did is ok?
See ya Christy

Who cares how “public officials” think anymore “WhaleBoy”.
We care about the U.S Constitution and Bill of Rights not what you “public officials” think of us.
Democrat and Republican voters better join hands on this gun issue.
Anyone who even hints at voting to take that freedom must be ejected from office next go round.
I think Opportunist Christie, is full of malarky and bull. Why is he quiet about nobama surrounding himself with a few kids while he signed yet another gun bill restricting us some more?????
Keep kissing Obama a$$ Christie. He will be destroyed of he runs for President.
Chris Christie, the Joe Scarborough of the Gubernatorial set.
