| New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slammed Washington once again Wednesday for its slow response in getting aid to Hurricane Sandy victims. “We’ve waited here now seven times longer than the victims of (Hurricane) Katrina to get help from the federal government,” he said, adding that some people were still waiting. Christie made his comments Wednesday on the Fox Business Network, one day after his annual State of the State address. Christie, who is up for re-election this year, has upped his public profile since Superstorm Sandy hit New Jersey last October. Last week, he called out House Speaker

Comments: If you can´t see it yet, Christie just can´t keep his mouth shut and work with the other RINO GOP to get fed the "pork" he is requesting. Already given $9B in Sandy relief aid, 0bama´s new disciple demands more. Tea Party needs to start looking for a replacement.

Katrina would have gotten help instantly but their stupid gov wouldnt give GW to send in the troops (so to speak). I am not fond of beaches or water and to build expensive homes on the ocean front is the last thing that I would do or even think about. It´s called flood insurance.

Dang, this could have been Mitt´s fault. The whole nebulous blame various Republicans for no rational reason just doesn´t have quite the same zing as blaming Bush did, does it?
Has the whole political / media class lost their collective minds? People I talk to in the real world seem to be relatively sane. But turn on the Tv or go online and it´s a freakin explosion of crazy.

Hey Lardbutt Christie. Get off your enormous haunches and start acting like a damn governor and not like a food stamp or welfare recipient whose mewling because his government handout check is late.. Quit waiting for the overbearing, oppressive Federal government to bail you out. Don´t you get it? No amount of butt kissing of our first communist president is gonna get you any aid. Your on your own and you´ll have to solve the hurricane problems yourself. So quit whining about federal aid and get to work.

Funny how when there´s a republican in the White House, it´s the president´s fault. When there´s a liberal democrat in the White House, it is the fault of Congress or the states.
Christie, go cry on your buddy´s shoulder. Oh, I forgot Obama will not give you the time of day now that you are no longer necessary to him.

#1 That would have been Louisiana, and its dumb-o-crat governess Kathleen Blanco. Next door in Mississippi, where Katrina actually made landfall by the way, Barbour and the State and Local officials were ready and waiting. As was FEMA, because Barbour had already issued a state of emergency and requested federal assistance.
(Not criticizing, just adding to.)

Two questions for the blowhard.
Prior to the storm, when all of us were told to prepare for the hurricane....did Christie bother to communicate with NJ Transit to be assured that they had followed the report recommendations about the flooding danger for the rail cars?
Following the previous eight day power outage, what communication did he have with the Public Utilities Commission to make sure that JCP&L was prepared for the storm.
In both cases I would bet Christie did NOTHING.
I point my finger at his failure as Governor of NJ.

Hey Chris, the only thing that 0blamer did fast on Sandy was to get on TV and let you kiss his butt. He could have expended some of the money already appropriated to provide needed emergency relief. Money to fix the waterfront mansions ofthe rich and famous is not an emergency.

And no one out east gives a rats behind if we get 3 feet of snow, have 500 head of cows to feed, hitching up three teams of horses to the sleds, all in a blizzard. I really dispise whiny town people.

We are Andrew survivors. Our electricity took 7 weeks to be returned to our house. It took us almost a year to settle with the insurance company and complete the repairs. The initial work was done by my husband and myself. It included tearing out all the carpets, general clean up of interior and yard. We did have a window person come and replace all the necessary broken windows. We dried all of our furniture on the lawn in the beautiful Florida sun and we never saw a FEMA representative nor did we call them. We spent the six weeks after the clean up and lock down with our children in a small apartment in NYC only returning when notified that the electric was restored. Most people will find that they have to help themselves. The government postures while the people suffer. Working at your own recovery is the best cure after the catastrophe.

Maybe if Obama throws Christie another dollar bill, he will get off the pole and shake his groove thing again..... but this time there aren´t any voters watching to see his dance. Obama will probably keep his dollar.

Washington - When the State Department fields the first of 350 additional Marine security guards at high-risk embassies and consulates around the world later this year, the price tag will be steep: about $1.6 million per Marine. Why so much? It turns out that about $525 million of the $553 million that Congress approved this year to deploy more Marine guards — fulfilling a recommendation of the independent review panel that investigated the attacks last year on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya — is going toward building new command-and-control hubs

For millions of gay and lesbian employees, much has changed since 1999, when no states recognized gay marriage, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” effectively barred people who were openly gay from serving in the military, Matthew Shepard’s murderer was convicted — and Exxon Mobil shareholders were first asked to protect gay and lesbian employees from discrimination. One thing hasn’t: Exxon Mobil’s implacable opposition to adding sexual orientation to its official equal employment opportunity statement. The issue will be on the agenda at Exxon Mobil’s annual shareholder meeting next week for the 14th

Terrorism analysts are rebutting President Obama’s assertion that the “scale of the threat” from Islamic terrorists has reverted to pre-Sept. 11, 2001, levels. “This is a total fabrication,” said Steven Emerson, whose Investigative Project on Terrorism tracks radical Islam. “The ‘scale of this threat’ in the 1990s never closely resembled the terrorist attacks post 9/11. This is an outright lie.” The Heritage Foundation has been cataloguing foiled terror attacks post-9/11 by Islamic groups. The number: 54. James Carafano, a military analyst at Heritage, said the 1990s’ numbers “were a fraction of

Brownsville, Texas - A former Texas prosecutor and one-time candidate for Congress was convicted Friday of accepting bribes in exchange for court favors, including an $80,000 payment in a scheme that allowed a convicted murder to escape. Jurors convicted former Cameron County District Attorney Armanda Villalobos on racketeering, bribery and extortion charges. They acquitted him on two extortion charges. Villalobos is the highest-profile target to stand trial in an FBI investigation into legal corruption in Cameron County. The former prosecutor was accused of taking more

Phoenix - A federal judge ruled on Friday that Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his deputies had violated the constitutional rights of Latinos by targeting them during raids and traffic stops here and throughout Maricopa County. With his ruling, Judge G. Murray Snow of United States District Court delivered the most decisive defeat so far to Sheriff Arpaio, who has come to symbolize Arizona’s strict approach to immigration enforcement by making it the leading mission for many of the 800 deputies under his command at the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. At 142 pages, the decision is peppered with stinging

President Obama’s speech on Thursday was the most important statement on counterterrorism policy since the 2001 attacks, a momentous turning point in post-9/11 America. For the first time, a president stated clearly and unequivocally that the state of perpetual warfare that began nearly 12 years ago is unsustainable for a democracy and must come to an end in the not-too-distant future. “Our systematic effort to dismantle terrorist organizations must continue,” Mr. Obama said in the speech at the National Defense University. “But this war, like all wars, must end. That’s what history advises.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why. Because the establishment Republicans, the RINO Republicans, despise the Tea Party. They despise the conservative movement. We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.

Fox News chief Roger Ailes has sent a memo to his subordinates at the leading cable news network. He sent this memo to his staff today in connection with the federal investigation into an alleged leak to Fox News reporter James Rosen, a story that the Washington Post’s Ann E. Marimow broke earlier this week. The memo’s a masterpiece, too. For all those who wonder what it is about Ailes that endears his people to him — and that makes him such a good interviewee for any media reporter lucky enough to get an audience

WASHINGTON —In a dramatic departure from existing White House procedures, President Obama requested today that his staff start cc’ing him on stuff. “Look, I know a lot of you think I’m really busy and you don’t want to bother me,” the President reportedly told his staff in an Oval Office meeting. “But cc me anyway. It’s good for me to keep up on what’s going on around here.” “It’s not good when I turn on the news and they’re talking about something at the White House and I’m like, whoa, when did that happen?”
