This is exactly how I would love to see politics be at all times. Normally, I am not a fan of Christie but I appreciate that he has put the people of his state above all others and certainly above hyper-partisan BS that is easy to sling. I appreciate the fact that he "doesn't give a damn" about presidential election politics and believe that this is a shining example of how state and federal government, as well as republicans and democrats can work together. Posted on the page is also a video I believe to be worth watching.
Thoughts?
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), generally a harsh critic of President Obama, has nothing but praise for the White House response to Hurricane Sandy.
“The federal government’s response has been great. I was on the phone at midnight again last night with the President, personally, he has expedited the designation of New Jersey as a major disaster area,” Christie, a top surrogate for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, said on NBC’s “Today.”
He added, “The President has been outstanding in this and so have the folks at FEMA.”
On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Christie was equally laudatory, saying “the President has been all over this and he deserves great credit.” Obama, he said, “told me to call him if I needed anything and he absolutely means it, and it’s been very good working with the President and his administration.”
