i did not think Christie was a real person i do think all he said prior to this was probably how he felt, but now with competition under foot and T-Party breathing down his neck threatening to primary him gangsta style he reverts back to the right wing politician and joins the gang fight, hope all his constituents are noticing this change from all about you to "well they are my party? even though they slammed him for being the only grownup in the party.The lovefest between New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and President Obama is over, another sign that partisanship is rising again across the board.
Christie got considerable media attention over the weekend for criticizing Obama, whom he had praised during last year's presidential campaign because of the rapid federal response to Superstorm Sandy that decimated the Jersey Shore. Christie was criticized in turn by some fellow Republicans for his positive approach to Obama at a key point in the campaign.But on Friday, Christie turned negative. He said Obama "can't figure out how to lead,"and was more concerned with ideology than "getting things done." When he was asked about his positive response to Obama after the storm, Christie said he didn't vote for Obama in the November election and added: "I don't want him to be president."
Christie is seeking re-election as governor this year and is considered a possible GOP presidential candidate in 2016.
It's part of a pattern. Officials in Washington are returning to their partisan ways, too. Political scientist Ross Baker of Rutgers University says "polarization" is still driving American politics at a fundamental level, as it has for years.Baker points out that the House of Representatives, controlled by Republicans, is unlikely to pass the immigration bill that the Democrat-controlled Senate endorsed last week with much self-congratulation. Few House conservatives are likely to be swayed by the Senate because they have strong objections to some provisions of the Senate bill, such as a "path to citizenship" for many people who entered the United States illegally.
let's entertain that thought for a second, Judas Christie had there been a republican president most likely the jersey coast would still be underwater, now remember he slammed the party about not approving disaster aid and said everything but "i quit the party" which to me sent up a flag and now he confirms that vision.
his party refused him and however many were affected by Sandy help then delayed it while they were trying to reconcile their doing it with a non existent budget IMO they thought Pres. would catch the blame but again it backfired and now the entire world knows the SCROOGE mentality of the congress republican majority.
Christie will have a hard time this go round IMO that about face takes the smile off New Jersey voters.
