Christie going overboard with Obama love. Will be remembered by some of us when he runs for prez, esp if Romney loses close one.

nolte never forgets

This is just what I was talking about above. Not sure if Christie is being calculating, or just emotional.

Look, I am as cynical as the next guy with regard to anything Christie says/does but is it possible, just possible, that he is simply genuinely appreciative of the support of our sitting President? I mean, Christie was as critical of Obama as anybody and he, as a Romney supporter and Republican, certainly has no incentive to make Obama look good.

I am not sure why I feel this way but I would be surprised if this were some "means to an end" play by Christie. Love him or hate him, it is impossible to deny that Chris Christie is 100% New Jerseyan. I think he is truly hurt and saddened by the destruction of his home state and it shows.

Of course it is possible, I thought that is what I was acknowledging when I said, "or just emotional" - like, an emotional, heart-felt reaction of gratitude toward the President.

FEMA boss fires back at Brown

By BOBBY CERVANTES | 10/31/12 1:01 PM EDT

FEMA Director Craig Fugate had a blunt response on Wednesay to his Bush-era predecessor who criticized President Barack Obama’s early preparation for Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.

“It’s better to be fast than to be late,” Fugate said on NPR’s “Morning Edition.”

Michael Brown, who ran the agency during Hurricane Katrina, told POLITICO Tuesday that he stood by his criticism that Obama moved too quickly federal relief and response to Sandy.

“In the context of the election, I simply said he should have waited,” Brown said. “The storm was still forming, people were debating whether it was going to be as bad as expected, or not, and I noted that the president should have let the governors and mayors deal with the storm until it got closer to hitting the coastal areas along the Washington, D.C.-New York City corridor.”

What a guy.

What am I supposed to get outraged about here?

1) He turned a campaign event into a charity photo op
2) He only promised aid at first to swing states, NJ was added later

The plan since yesterday was to deliver goods to New Jersey. They also raised money for the Red Cross at the events and over email, and they're continuing to push giving money to the Red Cross today at his events in Florida.

You're getting mad at people for trying to help out.
