” … lately, Christie’s big mouth has caught up with him. We saw a preview of a coming shark jump in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Instead of partnering with President Obama as a strict professional trying to get a job done, Christy gloated over Obama and all of the socalled progress being made. He walked with Obama through destroyed neighborhoods, took a bunch of photos, made promises with Obama to victims that weren’t kept and helped to neutralize all the work he had done for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s campaign— while ensuring Obama’s re-election.
“The president has been all over this, and he deserves great credit,” Christie told NBC’s “TODAY” show. “I’ve been on the phone with him, like I said, yesterday, personally three times. He gave me his number at the White House, told me to call him if I needed anything. And he absolutely means it.”
When Christie was asked on “Fox & Friends” what Romney’s plans were to visit New Jersey to see the hurricane damage, Christie responded by saying, “I have no idea, nor am I the least bit concerned or interested. I’ve got a job to do here in New Jersey that’s much bigger than presidential politics, and I could care less about any of that stuff.”
This left the impression that Romney just didn’t care, when, in reality, the former Massachusetts governor had actually been gathering hurricane relief supplies for Sandy victims on his campaign bus, supplies FEMA had already run out of.

Christie called a special press conference—not to call out Senate Democrats for stuffing unnecessary pork, but to slam House Republicans.
“There’s only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these victims: the House majority and their speaker,” Christie sniped.
