| TRENTON – Gov. Christie blasted the NRA’s new ad focusing on President Obama’s daughters – he called it “reprehensible” – but he wouldn’t given an opinion about a proposed federal assault weapons ban. Christie’s extensive comments on the issues of guns and violence came during a news conference this afternoon at the Statehouse in which Christie announced the creation of a task force to examine “violence control” measures in the wake of the shooting massacre in Sandy Hook. Led by two former state attorneys general, one Republican and one Democrat, and made up of

Did those children he used as a prop for his photo-op have a choice about being brought into the debate? No. In fact, he motioned for the little boy on his left to step forward for a photo-op, and poor child stood there frozen, as if afraid to approach the president, who then coldly shrugged him off in disdain. And Christie accuses the NRA of using children to make a political point?
Memo to Christie: 250,000 voters joined the NRA this month; your political future is toast, blue state or not.

The NRA was perfectly appropriate and powerful in stating the plain, undeniable truth in the ad. Hearing the NRA speak "truth to power" is painful, so painful to our elitist (would-be) masters. But how amusing the reaction of the more-equal! Bravo NRA--more please.

No. Hussain the Bow-Boy and his socialist sychophants, particularly the infiltrators in the Republican Party, are those that are reprehensible.
Liars: reprehensible
Hiding behind children for photo-ops: reprehensible
Mouthing off with executive decrees designed ultimately to keep schools (and the population) disarmed while "their" children are protected by armed guards: reprehensible
Further dividing this country by the ongoing campaign to finish off the "South": reprenhensible
Running up trillions in debt with no end in sight: reprehensible in it treason
The trampling on the Constitution and the rights of the majority by the Communist/Socialist minority: reprehensible.
Bow-Boy: reprehensible.
Fat-Boy: ditto.

After watching the NRA ad, I didn´t think it was taking a swipe at the Obama girls and their Secret Service detail. I thought it was about Sidwell Friends School that has a whole security department of eleven people to protect the whole school.
I especially liked the last line of the ad, about the President´s girls have professional police protection and "your kids attend school in a gun-free zone!" Works for me!

Chris Christie is just another opportunistic blowhard. I thought the NRA ad was (pardon me) bang on truth-telling. Would the governor find me reprehensible, as well? And, does anyone out there believe the governor´s task force will come out strong for better education for everyone about our Constitution and our civic responsibilities? Not to mention taking personal responsibility among our own friends and families to make sure unstable or irresponsible people who should not have guns, do not have guns.

You have to be joking!!! 0bama sends his girls to a private school; this school has ELEVEN armed guards with guns and REAL bullets. 0bama just overturned the law that gives expresidents security guards (used to be only ten years after they are no longer president), but 0bama wants armed guards with real guns protecting him for the rest of his life. Now would you not think he is a roaring hypocrite??? And Christie is toast; he is not a Republican, and he will never be president for sure now.

Chris, are you sure it wasn´t horrifying? Perhaps it was the most disgusting thing you´ve ever seen? Calling it bad things doesn´t make it bad. It just shows how afraid you are of the media, how desperate you are to hang with elite hypocrites and how easy it is to get you to pander for every little bit of attention. Pointing out that wannbe elitists say one thing and do another is not ´reprehensible.´ It is what leaders are supposed to do, you politician.

I was at a christie town hall meeting yesterday. A short video ( looked like campaign video), he entered and spoke for a bit , then took questions from the audience. Most were about hurricane sandy ( I live near Long Beach Island which was hit hard) ,......Christie talked about how long he´s been working, 16 hr days !! Well, thats his job. We saw him leave, big black SUVs , black windows, armed guards. His son was with him. New bills have been introduced in the state house, all limiting guns ownership, all sponsored by dems.

Calling Christie a RINO is too kind. He´s at best an opportunist, doing what he has to do to get elected in New Jersey, at worst his successes to date have gone to his head and he now thinks he´s a cut above everyone else. I´d call him a Democrat.
Ann Coulter...eat your words before YOU lose credibility. Your boy Romney wouldn´t fight for his election against the massive and obvious voter fraud and now Christie is demonstrating that he doesn´t understand America either.

Another dense loudmouth fails to understand the truth. The NRA ad addresses Obama´s two-faced position on guns in schools. His kids go to a private school with a dozen or so armed PRIVATE SECURITY (not secret service) staff. Your kids and mine, well "more guns isn´t the answer; more gun laws is".

There is nothing "reprehensible" about the NRA outing elected hypocrites, unless you happen to be one of them.
Ordinary Americans may not have as many options for schooling their children as the elites enjoy, but one thing that ought to be equally available is the presence of armed security in all schools.
Don´t tell me it doesn´t save lives. I know better. I was working in a public school when a former student arrived at what politicians idiotically refer to as a "gun free zone." Fresh from killing his own father, the ex-student was armed with multiple weapons and prepared to continue killing. When he started shooting at students who were having their lunch outside, the only thing standing between a very deranged man and a school full of defenseless students, teachers and staff was one armed deputy and a retired state patrolman. The SP retiree teaches driver´s ed but does not carry a firearm. Because they are TRAINED, these two men managed to disarm the shooter, with the deputy holding his gun on the shooter, and the retired state patrolman cuffing him. THAT is why elites want armed protection for their own kids. They know damned well it works.
Shame on Chris Christie. He has removed any doubts I still had about him. He´s an opportunist and a hypocrite, far too comfortable with the anti Second Amendment crowd.

I have to admit that the "Krispy Kreme" moniker made me laugh, but I won´t criticize Christie because of his weight when there´s so much more to criticize him about.
I don´t know if he was a Republican and has recently had a true change of heart, or if he has always been a liberal and hid it. I think it is the former, but the conversion has been pretty dramatic.
Another possibility is that he knows he needs to get reelected in a blue state and is saying what he thinks they want to hear, but doesn´t believe it. This is the ugliest thing to do because he now loses the people that put him there and the left that always hated him will never love him anyway.
He will never win reelection, so I say if they´re going to hate you, you might as well give them a good reason to.

Governor Romney would have made a superb president and Commander in Chief. He doesn´t deserve to be demeaned by the term " boy ".

Senators on Tuesday rejected building the 700 miles of double-tier border fencing Congress authorized just seven years ago, with a majority of the Senate saying they didn’t want to delay granting illegal immigrants legal status while the fence was being built. The 54-39 vote to reject the fence shows the core of the immigration deal is holding. The vote broke mostly along party lines, though five Republicans, including Sen. Marco Rubio and the rest of the bill’s authors, voted against the fence, and two Democrats voted for it. Republicans had offered the fence as a way to

Tough global rules to stop mega-rich firms and individuals from dodging tax were unveiled at the G8 summit today. David Cameron demanded the world’s most powerful countries act to stop countries shifting profits to low-cost tax havens instead of paying they dues where there are earned. The Lough Erne Declaration - signed by the UK, US, Germany, France, Italy, Canada, Japan and Russia - vows to ´fight the scourge of tax evasion´ by ensuring automatic exchange of tax information and changing the rules to stop multinational companies shifting profits across borders to avoid paying their fair share.

In a flier circulated to employees and obtained by the government watchdog group Cause of Action, the bureau’s FOIA office instructs employees to “keep your calendar entries brief and general.” The guidance has some observers concerned that the agency is instructing its employees to be more opaque in its daily operations. “Transparency is at the core of our agenda, and it is a key part

Christie has reportedly lost 40 pounds after a successful lap-band surgery earlier this year.

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.

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?

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.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:

Iran is preparing to send 4,000 troops in to Syria to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the wake of America´s announcement it will be providing ´military aid´ to the country´s Muslim rebels. President Barack Obama made the pledge earlier this week after the U.S. claimed it found ´conclusive evidence´ Assad´s regime has used chemical weapons against the rebel forces--which includes the most extreme Sunni Islamists--and has called for Britain and France to back the move. While Britain hasn´t made a guarantee either way as yet, more than 350 Royal Marines are being sent to Jordan
