In New Hampshire yesterday, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie repeated to voters that he did not hug President Obama after Hurricane Sandy.
"Yeah, no, I've got to tell you, I can't disappoint you all enough, I didn't hug him," Christie said during a New Hampshire town hall according to Time's Zeke Miller. And as you all have learned in New Hampshire, I hug everybody. So it was a disappointment probably for him that I didn't hug him."
The New Jersey governor has worked for years to dispel the notion that he hugged Obama when the president came to New Jersey - even though conservatives were infuriated that he rhetorically embraced the president when he visited the damage in his state caused by Hurricane Sandy.
In 2013, Christie also denied hugging the president - he shook Obama's hand after he landed at the airport and Obama put his hand on the governor's shoulder.
"It was a handshake like you would shake hands with anyone," he said. "It was a perfectly natural, casual, normal type of greeting between two people. And you know, it's become legend."
Christie argued then that people who believed the "hug" legend "conflated my kind remarks about the president with the picture" making it "more of a metaphor than an actuality."

Christie Cream plays bat for the same team as Bathhouse Barry. It’s pretty telling that he only waddles out of the dugout when Soetoro wants to play catch.
It’s rare that you see a politician of Christie’s caliber.
I think Taft was the previous one.
A reporter asked Connors if he was a card-carrying communist.
Connors responded "No, I'm a communist-carrying card".
On his SECOND meeting with Obama on the Jersey boardwalk, Christie threw a ball through the clown mouth & won Obama a teddy bear!
They then slapped five & this turned into an awkward clench.
Look up “Boardwalk Bromance” on youtube for details.
Love or hate Glenn Beck, he did a great impression of Christie & Obama oohing & moaning in ecstasy (”I’ve been looking for...some...FATNESS! Michelle keeps telling me that fat is bad...”)
That Lard@zz has to continue to deny this speaks volumes about his torrid affair with our Tnediserp.
Close enough.
Basil Fawlty: [to Polly] Oh, I see, it’s my fault, is it? Oh, of course, there I was, thinking it was your fault because you had been left in charge, or Manuel’s fault for not waking you, and all the time it was MY fault. Oh, it’s so obvious now. I’ve seen the light! Well, I must be punished then, mustn’t I?
[spanking himself]
Basil Fawlty: You’re a naughty boy, Fawlty!
I’d like to see someone photoshop those two as Laurel & Hardy like they did with Kennedy & Kerry
If we’re for Guinness World Record’s. Then Christie has my vote for heaviest (didn’t say fattest! lol) since Taft!
Also, Christie CRIED when he got to talk to Bruce Springsteen.......he CRIED like a little girl fan!!
Is that Laurel and Hardy?
No, silly. It is Abbott and Costello!
Not that will matter in the least to the moron brigades here.
