God forbid a Governor puts his constituents ahead of his party. Oh the [Bleeeeep!] humanity of it all! Good for him and in my mind really puts to light how the average politician is more concerned about their job then their constituents.

And don't even get me started on the idiot talking heads!

Fuckin RINO.

He'll be facing some ridiculous TeaBagger in his next primary who will put video of Christie complimenting the President for doing his job on 24 hour loop.

The wingnuts will probably give the primary to his "severely conservative" challenger, who will then get roundly stomped in the general election.

Fish on...

Todd

I don't disagree with that at all.

Probably explains why a libtard would never compliment a Republican President

Sad commentary on our current political environment. Winning trumps all!

I'm not sure what's more pathetic-The politicians or the voters??

He did his job, regardless of who is in the Whitehouse. Get over it.
NJ is heavily democrat voters. Christie has to run for re-election in two years. This storm is Christies test.

About damn time we had a govern who would work with the other side, even in a pres election, and say what he thought was right. Nice someone can tell the truth.


Of course he will be attacked on it from his party for doing just that. They will use it against him and the wackos will try but likely fail to unseat him.

The worst attacks will come later when he runs for pres next cycle. Todd will be here telling everyone what a RWWJ he is and that he wants granny pushed off a cliff, food stolen from colored babies, and anyone not white killed or deported. But for now he is a good one since he is not in a position to take power away and he is giving praise to BO.

I can also say I wish he had run this time as he would be far better than Romney or Obama. To bad presidents dont seem to come from the cream at the top and more the sludge at the bottom.

Yeah, praising him for doing his job, and doing it well, and helping his constituents.

Period.

He'll pay for it later...book it.

Fish on...

Todd

the best part is he is doing his job and also pissed uff the big wind bag rush

+ ten zillion.

Fish on...

Todd

Too bad that in today's political climate, doing the right thing for your constituents opens the door for criticism from your own party.

if his ticker doesn't pop, he will run for president in 2016 and might very well win with Rubio at his side.

Is it possible that Limbo cares more about Party than about the people of NJ ?
Nah, say it ain't so.

Is it possible that Christie and Obama do praise and exultation better than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? So many questions...

Scarier than Margaret Thatcher or Golda Meier? I rest my case...

She's already scary to look at.

Those Mormons are a shifty bunch with all those wives etc, etc.
Shiftier than Coach Spurrier and he's a shifty one.

Sarah Palin?

Gov. Christie has to lose at least 80 pounds to be a serious prez contender. For whatever reason, that's a presidential requirement. Superior leadership ability, not so much.

As far as I'm concerned, Christie has gone way up in my estimation. He has his priorities right which is helping the citizens of his State respond to a true crisis. Nicely done.

He wont have a republican or a Tparty challenger. He is doing his job and part of his job includes getting money from the feds to rebuild. Its a silly assumption given that NJ is majority Democrat, that its an open club to republicans. He only won because, the Obama Bundler and former Governor, Former Senator, phucked the taxpayers so bad, they had to go with a fighter.

In presidential politics, Obama would have destroyed Christie as being unhinged. That stuff may fly in NJ and NY, but it wont fly in the rest of the country. John McCain supposedly lost his temper once and it made headlines. They called Romney a bully after the first debate. Everybody thought Rudy Guliani should be president too. Same for Lee Iacoca. Few really good people who have a record, wont run, due to the bias and the destruction. Romneys wife did not want to go thru it again. All Perot had to do was say "you people" and he was called a racist. Given the bigotry of people, a lot of people could not vote for a fat man.

As far as the sludge comment, I dont share that perspective. He is a giving person and has done many acts of personal charity and help to others, that most people have never heard of. He shut down his company, flew everyone out of town, when one of the kids of an employee was missing or kidnapped. They set up a command post. He paid out of his own pocket for years, the milk delivery and 7000 cartons of milk to a hospital, after he did an audit of the hospital. The only reason he was outed for the generosity was because the truck driver retired and he gave up the name. He apparently donated all the money he inherited from his father. No DUI, no divorce.

Compare all this to Newt... There wasnt much wrong with Santorum, other than being wrong for the job and the wrong agenda.
Nothing wrong with Huckabee, who now has his own show on fox for nearly four years. When I think sludge, I think Kennedy. I think Clinton. There is a long list of convicts who use to be politicians on either side, that fit that description. Its not often we get one that has a clue and a plan. Compare him to some of the rich folks that make the news. Who would you rather have as a neighbor?

Considering the fiasco and the development regarding Benghazi, its only a matter of time, the news will be everywhere, that the current president left an Ambassador and soldiers in harms way and denied them support. The military past and present is fumming. Its not being widely covered, but it is leaking into the news.

Its wont matter if she was 45. Benghazi will be her legacy.
