"I called the speaker four times. He did not take my calls," he said. "All I can tell you was this was the speaker's decision -- his alone."
Well, at long last ... the Governor is feeling the sting of reactionary, "We Hate America and Americans" policies of the GOP in the U.S. Congress. Let him stew in his own party's juices for a while. I have no sympathy for him. When the chips have been down and he and his state have faced unprecidented challenges ... it's been the Democratic Party officials who've stood with the Governor, not the leaders of his own party. Maybe it's time for the Governor to walk across the aisle to sit with Democrats at the Governor meetings. The Speaker's future is doubtful, at this point ... and not just for his ignorant behavior in this instance.
Oh please. NJ gets the least in federal dollars per the amount of taxes paid in order to allow the fed to provide welfare to poor states like Minnesota. It's certainly not too much to ask for help when they get hit by an unprecedented natural disaster.
So its all wrong.
Get some hollywood celebs to throw a benefit and people who wish to donate can do so.
Dont blame me for the nations piggy bank being empty.
Somebody tell Christie to stop grandstanding. LOL. This guy sure wants to be president.
"The aide cited assurances from FEMA that there are sufficient disaster response funds to last through March, and Boehner told New York and New Jersey members that the disaster relief package will be his number one priority in the new Congress and will happen within the month"
Don't worry folks you'll get your money. That is all anybody cares about anymore. Gimme....gimme....gimme.
I think you are right and this is nothing but grandstanding by Christie and I can't stand Boner but he does not deserve this coming from his own party. Like another poster said the bill is probally full of pork and could be the reason why Boner did not want to just rush it thru and get it rubber stamped. Maybe he will tell Christie to f*** off too and it would be deserved.
Money is extracted from me to pay for those things.
Do you think that people who live in arizona, kansas etc. should have to bear the burden to restore jersey?
Yes. And emphatically so. If you can bailout Iraq, Afghanistan, and come up with enough dough to defend wealthy nations like Japan and Korea, you can "bailout" Jersey...and you WILL do it. Don't worry.

Yes I am well aware of a certain groups who think multiple wrongs make a right.
Elections have consequences. Christie slobbered all over Obama right before the election, and made Sandy a political issue, setting Obama up to look like the big savior. Too bad Obama is nowhere to be found, to help the Sandy folks now that the election is over.
The bill was full of pork, much of which has nothing to do with NJ or NY. And Christie wants the entire country to foot the bill for the hurricane, 100%. THAT is what is unprecedented, outrageous and politically motivated. Maybe if FEMA did their freaking job, they wouldn't be in such dire straights.
I feel for those folks. But to blame Boehner? Nope.
"Maybe if FEMA did their freaking job, they wouldn't be in such dire straights."
Quite a bit of that cash goes to FEMA so they can distribute it.

What's the big rush?? According to the link FEMA has money till march. Why are they intent on shoving that thing through at midnight? I think I'll look up that bill and see what's attached in it. Probably has a free buffet coupon for life for Christie somewhere in it. LOL
