NY Post: Christie's 'Bizarre Behavior' Raises Questions on 2016 Prospects

So besides figuratively smooching Obama, making a really poor convention speech that wasn't what I'd call a ringing endorsement of Romney because it was more about himself and ragging on Rand Paul, now he won't even endorse the Republican candidate for NY governor and calls Cuomo to tell him?
He may be hesitant seeing as he seems to have some "splainin'" to do....

Thumbs down on Butterball Christie.
What does Christie have to do with the South? I don't think the man has been any farther than Delaware. You realize, of course, that the South was primarily Democrat in those bigoted days, right?

And you realize, of course, that the Southern Democrats who opposed civil rights legislation moved to the Republican Party afterwards, right?

He's also indirectly a child killer. Over Thanksgiving a child died because his parents were going through the very slow and difficult process, required by Christie, to get their child certified for a medical cannabis card and ticture to treat his seizures, because all other treatments had failed. They couldn't get through the process involved in time to save their baby, which includes 3 dr approvals, with one being a psychiatrist (for a baby?).

Not only that, but in NJ there are no labs that could test a tinture made by another parent who also has a child with seizures. The two dispenseries that are supposed to serve the entire state are not yet prepared to create and sell tinctures, although this same parent was able to get a modification to the law passed to allow these companies to sell tinctures, but only for children! Christie signed it but only after public pressure and a video that went viral where one of the parents pleaded with Christie not to let his clild die.

Christie will not sign a recipricol law to allow these parents to go to Colorado to get licquid cannabis for their children now, he's ok with letting their suffering continue, including brain damage. He will not further modify the medical cannabis law FOR ANY REASON, such as to allow seniors to use edibles or licquid forms.

He gives as his reason that NJ might try to decriminalize cannabis, which he has pledged wil not happen on his watch. He'd rather (someone else's) children die than do that.

I blame Obama and the tone of government that he has established in DC the last five years.

"Punish your enemies and reward your friends" - Obama talking to Hispanic voters a few years ago.

Obama unleashed the IRS against the TP after losing the 2010 election and has also used the NSA to spy on the American people. This is what big government does.

Obama? You're kidding right. How old are you? This has been going on forever.

So you want more people unemployed.

Got it.

The only politicians more corrupt than those in Jersey are from Chicago.
