Haha, heck no, two years was two years too many for me. I have no interest punishing myself by living a few decades in New Jersey when there are beautiful states out there like Oregon I could be living in. New Jersey may be a great place for you, but it was an awful place for me, and the two years I was there I saw more than my fair share of New Jersey politics and I didn't like what I saw.

Like Obama looks like an idiot every time he opens his mouth since the only thing he knows how to do is attack R's then he wonders why no one wants anything to do with him.

Does every thread need to be about Obama with you?

They were still homes, even if second homes. Homes that they paid for and kept up. Did the heckler have a point? I don't know. I'm not familiar with the area.

Wrong, I live in NJ on the shore and many people are displaced. The fellow who is the heckler does have a point. Businesses got help, the boardwalks got money, but many , many people can't get their homes repaired.

Fema paid only for the lodging , putting one up in a hotel or place to live. The insurance does not cover it all. Many are stuck and can't get a small loan because they are elderly and the state isn't helping with any money at all. The businesses got money, the towns got money to replace the beaches and boardwalks and many are still not in their homes. The town that Christie got heckled in was 70 % covered by water. The homes that were built high had no damage.These are usually the million dollar larger homes. The small bungalows got hit the worst and they were owned by average people.

I can understand the heckling by this fellow. He is trying to get help for those who haven't been in their homes for two years and counting.

Can you cite your sources on this? Can you also point to information on what Christie has done so far?

This is what I like about him, but in the end, this is what will hurt him I am afraid. There has to be a line drawn between telling it as it is and knowing when to use some common sense.

I also appreciate Christie's bluntness. In this age of political correctness, poll driven speeches, and half truths he is a breath of fresh air.
