I guess you could say each is not great, but going quiveringly mad at $100k while $12 million goes flying off without a peep seems a bit hypocritical.

He watched about 6 innings before the game was then delayed for him to depart again.

Was he rushing off to official important business? No he was having a dinner with people who were interested in having him run for president.

Christie has shown what fiscal conservatives mean when they say we all need to tighten our belts in these tough economic times... all the regular people are going to get the shaft while people like him continue to live lavishly.

First Read - Chris Christie's helicopter ride

LOL, the left is so desperate, its funny. Christie closed an $11 billion budget deficit. It's ok, he can have a helicopter ride.

I think perhaps Obama should walk to Camp David until he trims a penny from the deficit.

I wish I could say I was shocked, but honestly I lost the ability to be surprised at the hypocrisy of our leaders a long time ago.

Also if his fiscal policies don't play out in New Jersey he's through as future serious presidential contender.

Actually, his fiscal policies have already played out. he closed an $11 billion budget deficit.

okay so i guess you don't find it the least bit hypocritical that he cut that deficit by totally decimating the state's education system and all other public services while making sure there was still enough budget for his pointless chopper rides?

Have you ever been anywhere NJ? He asked the teachers union to accept a pay freeze and contrubute modestly to their benefits. Ummm I am not sure that equals decimating the states educational system.

i notice that anybody who ever disagrees with you is automatically labeled as a leftist.

just because i dont drink the gop koolaid and defend every gop member for anything like yourself, does not mean i am a leftist.

i have an independent voting record. have voted for dems, republicans, and independent.

2010 i voted for the republican kline for house and horner independent for gov.

while you just check off R down the line.

you dont make the GOP work for your vote, which is unfortunate.
