Christie: I didn´t
help the president win

The Hill [Washington, DC], by Justin Sink

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 12/13/2012 10:25:33 AM

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said that he wasn´t responsible for helping President Obama to win a second term in an interview with ABC News´ Barbara Walters set to air Wednesday. Christie has been criticized by some Republicans for embracing President Obama in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, speaking appreciatively about the federal assistance offered to his state. But Christie adamantly denied that the bipartisan photo-ops with the president were of any assistance on Election Day. "First of all, I didn´t help [Obama] win," Christie said.

Comments:
Well it certainly didn´t hurt him either.

For better or worse Christie is finished. He will see the writing on the wall when grass roots Republican support collapses under him (I know the mental image is too tempting) next year.
Unless another RR emerges Jeb/Marco looks like the ticket. Jeb will have run from Texas as the Constituion does not allow one a State ticket.

Christie helped Obama with the sham that Obama was some sweet, caring guy who cared about New Jersey. The area is still a hell hole, but everyone thought Obama cared so much, before and after he ran off to Vegas for a fundraiser.

If Christie had thrown down the gauntlet and said, "Mr. President, stay in this area and do your job," the impression would have been much different.

Christie also rudely said he didn´t give a damn about whether Romney visited or not, and as far as I know, never thanked Romney and the citizens of Ohio for their fundraising efforts and food/blanket collection.

Christie is a graceless clod, who somehow found his softer side when Obama visited. "Oh boy, Springsteen will not ignore me anymore! I have arrived!

Christie makes me sick and I will never again give him the time of day.

Rasmussen, and many many other polling org´s and the voters they polled say otherwise, Governor.

According to Rasmussen, %64 said the response to Sandy was integral to their vote.

I´ve long said the whole American trend of "star-intercoursing" diminishes us as a people. Christie is proof positive.....he sacrificed AMERICA for a kiss from freaking Bruce Springsteen, one of the WORST singers ever to walk a stage, and one of the worst humans to walk the earth.

Christie thought Obama had (pink tulle)coattails big enough to support his Gibraltar-esque butt and he wanted to ride ´em all the way to... He misjudged everyone´s reactions to shamelessness. Of course, he wanted Obama to be re-elected, and he wanted to be part of it in any way he could. May he fade quickly into oblivion; may he soon be indistinguishable from a half-eaten, 4-day-old Krispy Kreme on the side of the road...

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice. The wrong name, he warned, could doom a good bill. “If there´s not a

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

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.

If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent
