Chris Christie phoned Barack Obama to
congratulate him on his re-election - but
loser Mitt Romney only got an email

Daily Mail [UK], by Toby Harnden

Chris Christie, the bombastic New Jersey governor who has been under fire from conservatives for his effusive praise of Barack Obama after Hurricane Sandy telephoned the president after his election win but only sent an email to Mitt Romney, it was revealed today. He told reporters at a press conference on Thursday that he had talked to Obama. 'We didn’t have a political strategy discussion,' he said. 'I said, "Congratulations on your win last night, Mr. President", he said, "Thank you".' Asked about whether he had spoken to Romney, he said: 'No. We exchanged emails last night.

Christie has ruined his future in politics. However, he is NOT the reason Romney lost. It's the other "Christies" in the RNC that rig the primaries and "handle" the candidates that lost this election.

Again with the "establishment controlled primaries" nonsense. There was no movement conservative alternative to Romney who did much better than I would have imagined in the course of his campaign.
We need to get behind one candidate and support the candidate after a thorough vetting. Every one of the candidates opposing Romney blew themselves up. That wasn't "the establishment."

Did the rest of America see in Christie waddling alongside Obama what we saw?

Obama did actually have a presidential look about him over at the hurricane, but only because he was walking next to a slob the shape of an Airstream trailer struggling to keep up.

When you add that visual contrast to Christie´s undignified, overt butt-kissing, the bully in him becomes even more pronounced. He probably thinks the photo op helped his future but if so, only in New Jersey.

Cuz of course Bama will support a fat pasty white republican over a ´fly´ young light skinned black man.....

I have said since before CC´s election that he was not a conservative and that he would let us down.
I had no idea he would sacrifice the Country for a phine call from Bruce Springsteen.

They are two of the most glamorous women in the world, their every outfit forensically examined by fashionistas--and each will give birth to her first child in July. But when it comes to the style stakes, any similarities between the Duchess of Cambridge and reality star Kim Kardashian end there. Kate, 31, has always been the epitome of elegance and at six months is still svelte, with a barely-visible Royal bump. She has also stayed loyal to her classic dress style, favouring demure wrap dresses and beautifully tailored coats. Kim appears to have taken it less easily in her high-heeled

A coral reef in Northern Australia severely damaged by warming seas has managed to completely heal itself in just 12 years, stunned researchers have found. The team found that being left alone to breed on its own was key. The discovery raises hope that other damaged reefs could ´regenerate´. The new research shows that an isolated reef off the northwest coast of Australia that was severely damaged by a period of warming in 1998. It was hit by coral bleaching, caused by higher water temperatures that break down the coral´s symbiotic relationship with algae that provide food for coral growth.

Hackers posted a picture of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un portrayed as a pig on the country´s official flickr account today. The account and the official Uriminzokkiri Twitter account were apparently hacked today as tensions in the Korean Peninsula continued to rise. The North’s Uriminzokkiri Twitter and Flickr accounts stopped sending out content typical of that posted by the regime in Pyongyang, such as photos of North’s leader Kim Jong Un meeting with military officials. Instead, a picture posted today showed Kim’s face with a pig-like snout and a drawing of Mickey Mouse on his chest.

As the US and China grow increasingly involved, Kim Jong-un must be brought into line if war is not to be triggered by an act of recklessness. There are two schools of thought about what lies behind North Korea’s increasingly frenzied posturing. The first goes like this: the rhetoric emanating from Pyongyang--including calls to “break the waists of the crazy enemies [and] totally cut their windpipes”--is no worse than their decades-old ritualistic promises to turn South Korea into a “sea of fire”. What we are witnessing, according to this theory, is nothing more than an inexperienced leader

Anyone who remembers the halcyon dreams of the 1990s, of civil society spreading the world over, heralding a new peaceful, global millennium, must marvel at the path the young 21st century has taken. Even those who paid attention to global Jihad before the millennium could not imagine how vulnerable the West would prove in the coming, wildly asymmetrical war. Those who, over the course of the last 13 years, have awakened to the ever-growing danger of Islamism and to the astonishing inability of decent people--Muslims and non-Muslims--to effectively oppose its aggressions, owe themselves a brief lesson in cognitive warfare, and

President Obama is going to give a portion of his salary back to the government to show solidarity with the federal workers who took pay cuts during the sequester. [Snip] His move comes as hundreds of thousands of public service workers will be sent home without pay for a number of days over the next six months in an effort to cut spending. The President´s annual salary is $400,000, meaning that a 5 per cent pay cut would amount to $20,000 for the year. That said, it is unclear whether Mr Obama will extend this measure so that

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped.
