| New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) condemned House Republicans Wednesday afternoon for failing to pass a $60 billion package of funding for Hurricane Sandy relief. In the strongest terms, he accused House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) of letting “toxic internal politics” impede necessary storm relief. “There’s only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these victims: the House majority and their speaker,” Christie said. “It was disappointing and disgusting to watch.” Christie told reporters that he has spoken to both Boehner and President Obama today.

The reason that all these property owners need Fed assistance is because they can´t buy flood insurance ... because ... those properties can flood.
Bulldoze the properties and move on.

But watching the Dem lawmakers add $-billions in pork for expenditures totally unrelated to Sandy wasn´t disgusting? Is that it? This bill doubled in size because of all the unrelated earmarks added by Dem politicos.

Sorry for the second post, but anyone see or heard of Christie admonishing his transportation head for not paying heed a week before Sandy of the trains being parked where they very well may flood? A one hundred million dollar WHOOPS! How about the State cover this incompetence "rotund one"?

What´s the rush? The Dems always want late-night, closed-door negotiations. And, they usually get Republican enablers to go along. Let´s shine some light on these cockroaches for a change.
Let´s have a debate over spending. Why send anything to Alaska, NASA, museums in D.C.?
The money isn´t there anyway, and it´s not going anywhere. The money that has already been allocated isn´t close to being spent yet. New money will be spent over the next three years. Again -- What´s the rush (other than to sock it to the public again?
Maybe, just maybe, we´ll get some responsibility and make sure those that need relief in fact get it, instead of earmarking the heck out of the pork.

Christie has praised Obama for his handling of the storm response, saying Tuesday morning that the president has been “wonderful” and “deserves great credit.”

The Sandy Relief bill was so larded up with pork, that´s why it was shelved.
It included monies for fisheries in Alaska, $5.3B to the Army Corps of Engineers (more than their annual budget), $56.8 million for charting the debris from last year’s Japanese tsunami, $41 million for eight military bases including Guantanamo Bay, $100 million for the federal Head Start day care program, $188 million for new Amtrak lines (not repair, whole new lines), $20 million for a nationwide “Water Resources Priorities Study,” $4 million for the Kennedy Space Center (in Florida, untouched by Sandy).
Is that what you wanted, Chris?

Though I have never been a fan of Christie´s -his remarks about Muslim judges were a deal breaker for me long before now- attacking him for attacking Boehner misses the point. The point is that perception is reality - and the Republican leadership left itself open to precisely this kind of smear. I simply do not understand how people who have spent years, indeed much of their lives in politics, could have failed to foresee and take precautions against such an obvious tactic by the opposition. This is a serious black eye that should never, ever have been allowed to happen. The damage is done. The narrative will now be recycled and repeated and warmed up and warmed over in the Leftist media. Saying nasty things about Christie will not undo the self-inflicted damage that Republicans have sustained. OF COURSE the whole thing is demagogy. OF COURSE the plan was to attach tons of pork to the relief bill. Everybody knows that. But Republicans fumbled the ball badly.

What #16 said. Chris Christie is no more than a democrat turned inside out and calling himself a Republican. The amount "required" for "sandy" is FAR less than what they are trying to extort from Taxpayers all over the Country. The bill, as usual is full of PORK! Chrissie should call his bff-obama and I´m sure he´ll fix things for him..What´s that? The Election´s over? ....Never mind. Good on Christie, what goes around comes around..The people of N.J. and N.Y. deserve better than a loaded up phony "relief" bill being mis-represented by the outright lies of the phony-christie and the rest of them.

I guess when Christie abandoned Romney, the Republican presidential candidate, to tour the Jersey coast doing campaign appearances for the DEMOCRAT candidate, he forgot that any aid to his state had to come through the REPUBLICAN controlled House. Payback sucks, eh Chris? Go get the money from your new pal Obama.
The people of New Jersey have no one to blame but Christie, for the way he completely bungled this.
Oh, and helpless Katrina victims have nothing on the helplessness in Jersey and New York. Almost 3 months later and still sitting in the debris waiting for someone to take care of them. Shovels and saws are such complicated tools to operate. Feed me, clothe me, house me, help me.

If a tornado destroys a dozen homes, no federal assistance is given. If you house burns to the ground, no federal assistance is given. If you build a house along the coast and a hurrican or tropical storm destroys your home then we all have to pay to rebuild those homes. This is a bunch of crap. The federal governmnet should not pay anything to rebuild private homes. If the home owner was too stupid to get insurance then they should suffer the consequence, not the rest of us.

Jimmy Hoffa´s disappearance almost 40 years ago has been the stuff of urban legend, prompting numerous theories about what happened to the former Teamsters leader. The FBI saw enough merit in a reputed Mafia captain´s tip to once again this week break out the digging equipment to search for the remains in an Oakland Township field, about 25 miles north of Detroit. The feisty Hoffa was last seen about 20 miles away on July 30, 1975, outside a restaurant where he was supposed to meet with a New Jersey Teamsters boss and a Detroit Mafia captain.

WASHINGTON — House Republicans on Tuesday make their most concerted effort of the year to change federal abortion law with legislation that would ban almost all abortions after a fetus reaches the age of 20 weeks. The "Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act," expected to pass by a comfortable margin late Tuesday, would be a direct challenge to the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortions up to the time a fetus becomes viable. Fetal viability is generally considered to be at least 24 weeks into the pregnancy.

Anthony Weiner stepped down from Congress two years ago with a promise to “heal from the damage” of his sexual Twitter scandal. But sex therapy and addiction experts say the program he enrolled in shortly after his resignation wouldn’t have done much to address the root causes behind the scandal. Shortly after announcing his comeback bid for mayor of New York City, Weiner told reporters he had spent three days in July 2011 at the Gabbard Center, a psychiatric evaluation center in Houston, Texas. The program “wasn’t an addiction thing,” Weiner told the Daily News last month.

From the moment the Group of Eight summit began, the dividing lines on how to intervene in the Syrian civil war became clear: The U.S. and its European allies on one side, Russia on the other. Tensions with Russia have gotten the meeting off to a rocky start. Deep disagreements on the conflict have all but guaranteed that the G-8 will not produce a unanimous decision at the resort in Northern Ireland on how, or even whether, to assist rebel forces in their fight against Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.
