What is wrong with some of you people? If Obama and Christie come together on this and make it clear it's not political, somehow most of you need to make it political. They are doing what they need to do for the people of that state. Jersey got hit the hardest. There are 20,000 people stranded that need to be rescued in an area that the didn't expect to get hit so hard. They have no food or water and are trapped in their homes, which appears to be apartment buildings.
Romney was smart keeping his head low. He was out there doing what he could to help the people who got hit. There are many people doing exactly what he is doing - collecting food, clothing and whatever else for people who took a hit. He just happens to be a candidate running for president, so yes it would be a photo moment. If he didn't do anything you would find fault with that. All this damned if you do, damned if you don't is nonsense.
Some of you need to get out of your political mode and see the bigger picture once in a while.
2) He is looking like serious, no nonsense governor, who will work with anyone as long as the citizens of his state are taken care of, which will help him get reelected.
3) He is setting up great reelection photo ops, and campaign video clips.
Neither. Can't you spot a man being honest and real when you see one?
Yes there are sleezy republicans (bush, romney, ryan) and honest Republicans (fewer ). I'd give Christie a heads up.
Interesting thought: Obama dumps Biden, crosses party lines and takes on Christie as VP.
I think we have all become so cynical of political leaders and many times with good reason.
I have become that. But What Christie and Obama are doing I believe is truly geniune. Expecially Christie who truly loves the shore areas in New Jersey.
Lets back off the politics right now. They are trying their best and it shows.
It seems alot has been learned since the great many mistakes of Katrina. That is a good sign.
Whatever it costs to rescue and rebuild is a great use of taxpayer dollars.
Christie was genuinely upset and concerned and obviously felt a great deal of responsiblity. He also gave the most succinct and useful directions to his coastal NJ residents too.
"Don't be stupid, get out now!"
I like the Obama/Christie idea

They all appeared together in a televised statement. They both gave specifics on how they are working together. Christie has acknowledged and praised the president's help on several occasions.
Hmmm... He just appeared with the President during their tour. He came across as a man truly worried about his state and anxious to do whatever was necessary to help them. I know nothing about Christie but if that was acting he's wasting his talents in Jersey.
BTW: The President was tremendous. He explained how the Federal government was ready and willing to help the citizens of New Jersey. He acknowledged the work of FEMA and made it personal for the recipients.
October surprise Mitt. For a minute there I thought Christie was going to endorse Obama.

And with the latest fiasco lying and lies abound by our 4 dead AMERICANS. By many in this administration, i would say i welcome honesty from any one new.
Honesty is not something we have witnessed from this administration, and the latest fiasco, confirms this.
We still need to get to the truth about that whole lying situation, that is not to be forgotten!
