“I will end the political portion of this program by thanking the President”
Delivering his keynote speech at a New Jersey Chamber of Commerce dinner, Christie thanked Senators Bob Menendez and Frank Lautenberg, also in attendance, before he added, “I will end the political portion of this program by thanking the President of the United States.” …
Christie told the crowd was invited to the White House to discuss the Sandy aid package about three days before the president was set to send his proposal for the bill to Congress.
“I won’t talk about how our conversation went — that’s between me and the president,” said Christie. “But I’ll let you all know it was a lot of fun.” …
“I want to thank the president — he’s been extraordinary,” the governor added.

Funny what $50 billion in taxpayer dollars will buy you. Don’t bother with 2016, CRISTie. These soundbites of you sucking up to Obama will end your candidacy before the first primary.

Sure, heap praise on Obama. Not like it’s going to go to his head or anything.

Bye-bye, 2016 GOP nomination.
Good riddance, too.

This is as good a time to look up skeet shooting in the Urban dictionary[Vulgar language warning] if you haven’t already done so.

After the small love-tiff when Christie criticized Obamas inaugural speech, they’ve patched up again. The Christie-Obama romance continues.

I always figured he was as viable as any blue state republican which really is not at all. I wouldn’t vote for him willingly but I would vote for him for him if he was the repubs pick come voting day.

The obesity may reflect an inability to control his urges: urges to eat, urges to go full RINO.

This guy now makes my skin crawl.

I will never vote for CRISTie if he’s the nominee. Not only that, I won’t vote period. And if any GOP operative calls me asking for donations(which they did incessantly during the 2012 campaign), I’ll make that clear to them.

Switch parties already.

If Krisp somehow wrangles the 2016 nomination then it’s truly over. Fool me twice…no, I didn’t get fooled, I knew who Mac and Rombo were and pulled the lever for them anyway. But now that’s over.

All this for a lousy dozen box of donuts.

My sentiments exactly. I will not vote for a GOP squish for a third time. They can lose without my help. AAANNND no money for them, either.
If they think this little of their base, they can do without me.

He’s destroying the country but he gives Christie some donut money and the Stay-puft MarshMellow man drops to his knees.
Ugh.

Christie is now more popular among Democrats outside of New Jersey than he is with Republicans outside of New Jersey.
bluegill on February 1, 2013 at 10:29 AM
…yes…
I’m sure that is exactly what our Navy Seals in Libya were thinking right before they were cut down after being left out there for hours while Obama’s team watched.
Baxter Greene on February 1, 2013 at 10:33 AM
I guess he is your guy in 2016
Flapjackmaka on February 1, 2013 at 10:35 AM
Exactly…
If the GOP thought turnout was low for Romney…just nominate this blowhard and watch it tank.
Baxter Greene on February 1, 2013 at 10:36 AM
Hillary/Christie 2016 !!!!

Chris Creosote.
Bmore on February 1, 2013 at 11:24 AM
I don’t mind if he runs in 2016, just as long as it’s not on our ticket.
TexasDan on February 1, 2013 at 12:19 PM
Umm.. Even squishy Republican supporters of Romney aren’t really enthused by Christie. I’ll never vote for Christie and I’m a big fan of Mark Kirk.
