This is his personal 9/11 moment.

And it actually looks as if he's willing to throw $rmoney under the bus to do it. That's my takeaway this morning.

Christie is positioning himself for 2016 so he can say, "See? I can work with Democrats!"

He's being honest in his praise instead of lying to bash the president just to pander to the right.

. . . I read that Christie went to the Democrats first when he wanted to go into politics.

Honestly, I don't care what Christie's motivation is for praising the POTUS. Maybe it is self serving.

All I care about is how he is recognizing the importance of the federal government in helping people in a disaster. And welcoming its help.

(And I have to chuckle a little at how he's pushing Romney out of the picture.)

What kind of reception would Democrats give him? I can't say I would be all that thrilled to welcome him to our ranks. But, I would at least try to figure out why.
