Christie, a prominent surrogate for GOP candidate Mitt Romney, said Obama had moved quickly to help designate his state a disaster area to better expedite federal assistance.
“The federal government’s response has been great. I was on the phone at midnight again last night with the president, personally, he has expedited the designation of New Jersey as a major disaster area,” said Christie, in an interview with NBC’s “Today.”
“Last night, I was on the phone with FEMA at 2 a.m. this morning to answer the questions they needed answered to get that designation and the president has been outstanding in this. The folks at FEMA, [Administrator] Craig Fugate and his folks have been excellent,” he continued.
In a separate interview with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Christie added to the praise, saying that “the president has been all over this and deserves great credit.”
“He gave me his number at the White House and told me to call him if I needed anything,” he added.
Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy (D) on the Today show thanked Obama and said the president had done a "magnificent job." Malloy also praised FEMA, saying the agency had done "amazing early work to get us ready."
I have to say, I would probably vote for neither of them, but Chris Christie and Scott Brown are becoming two of my favorite non-liberal pols. They're partisan - all politicians are. But they know *when* to be partisan. Big difference between them and the other jug-heads in the GOP. In all fairness, there are jug-headed dems, too.

I wouldn't probably vote for Christie---not sure on that----but I respect him as a straight shooter who doesn't play games. He says what he thinks and does what he says. And you always know where he stands.

Agreed. He is still somewhat honest as a politician. Something we don't see very often.
