OXON HILL, Md. - New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie gave a rousing speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference today taking on President Obama while stressing his own conservative credentials.

Christie's signature tough talking style was on full display when he took on Obama asking, "Mr. President, what the hell are we paying you for?"

"Leadership," Christie said, "is not about standing on the sidelines and spit-balling."

Christie also spoke about foreign policy, again attacking the president: "We need to make sure we say we are for America being a leader in the world and we are for a strong national defense, not one that allows other countries to run us over all over the world."

Christie appeared at this year's conference as the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal continues to engulf him and his administration.

Brigid Harrison, political science professor at Montclair State University, said for Christie this year "addressing CPAC provides a welcome diversion and it enables him to refocus his energy on the national spotlight and instead of the parochial politics that has been his life for the past 10 weeks."

"I think that where the governor feels the most comfortable is with his own political party and particularly with ideologues because his defense has been this is a Democratic witch hunt and that he is a victim of the liberal media," Harrison, a longtime Christie watcher, told ABC News.

To Governor Christie: Can stridency obviate scandal? I don't think so.

[Journeyman]

1. "Leaders don't stand on sidelines & spitball! Leaders jam up traffic & directly spit on people!"...

[jsr]

12. "Get in my belly!"

[Euphoria]

38. lol-coffee-spitting funny! n/t

[dballance]

51. That is perfect!

Someone with video software skills needs to grab that clip from the movie and paste Christie's face on it. I do it but I'm not that talented software wise with videos.

[roguevalley]

22. all the draft dodgers and 4-f's at the tiny penis show sure sound tough.

all of the little cry babies who wished they had been Audie Murphy but the military didn't issue depends with their weapons so they didn't join. God, I loathe posturing men. This man can't even moderate his food intake. Who is he to call out anyone else?

[NYtoBush-Drop Dead]

47. That sucking sound you hear is Fat boy on his knees...

in front of the CPAC wackos assuring them he is theirs.

[jtuck004]

2. He make it on time? No bridge closings in the way? n/t

[merrily]

8. He prefers copters.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

11. Sikorsky Sky Cranes in Christie's case

[sakabatou]

3. Pot meet Kettle

[question everything]

4. "Thank you Jesus, the masses and the media found another topic"

All these assholes who complain that Obama is a "dictator" for considering executive orders to govern the country and now want him to be... Putin the dictator.

Not that they will recognize reason if it stared them in the face.

[jmowreader]

5. I can think of a few things we're NOT paying him for

Bridge closures come immediately to mind.

[kardonb]

7. Not.....

also,not starting another useless war every 5 minutes !

[merrily]

6. From the direction of NJ, I smell desperation.

Is he the only one in the country who still thinks he has a chance at the Oval Office, or is his wife delusional, too?

[Tikki]

9. To keep bridges open....

TIKKI

[TwilightGardener]

10. We should be strong! Strong good, weak bad! Winners win! Leaders lead!

I really think the Republican party is doomed. No message, no talent.

[freshwest]

13. No, we are doomed if we don't vote these scumbags out. They have millions of Dittohead grunting pigs

stampeding behind them!

[Turbineguy]

14. CPAC is a welcome diversion....

from reality.

[BeyondGeography]

15. The President has responded

[Cha]

17. Brilliant!

[BeyondGeography]

19. I'm comin' for you, Barack Obama!

[Cha]

20. Such a small small tiny

mind.

[Nanjing to Seoul]

32. Christie with his mouth open. But now he's spewing shit out rather than shoveling shit into it.

BTW, CPAC likes him? He hugged the devil in their eyes.

[MattSh]

44. Like the saying goes...

Garbage in, garbage out.

[cyclezealot]

42. Unfortunately, one function Obama fails to do enough of

Have his subordinates respond to ass holes such as the above.

[Cha]

16. Psycho-Sociopath Christie.. what the Hell are the People in NJ paying you for, asshole..

To be so gawdamn dumb you don't what the fuck is going on? To be one of the biggest Fucking Liars to ever hit the big time?

[olddad56]

18. wow, after Obama went out of his way to make Christie look good in the walk of Hurricane Sandy..

This puke is so desperate to stay relevant. Sorry Chris, that off ramp has closed.

[AtheistCrusader]

21. I don't think you know conservatives very well if you

think stridency can't obviate scandal.

[DeSwiss]

23. But, but, but......

...they used to be friends!?!? They semi-hugged fer Christ sakes!!!!



- There is no more honor in politics, I tells ya.......

K&R

[SoapBox]

24. Fuck off...filthy, lying, crooked POS.

Man I hate this jag off.

[babydollhead]

40. jag off.

are you from Pittsburgh?

[struggle4progress]

25. "Gov. Christie Traffic Jam"

[aquart]

26. "To investigate criminals like you, Gov. Christie."

[stopbush]

27. No, leadership is about being able to tell your supporters what they DON'T want to hear.

Christie was in full-out pandering mode at CPAC. He's lost any straight-talking cred he ever had, along with his tough guy image.

He's a hack. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Cha]

28. I was on some other site just now and they had a blurb of

his quote.. "Our ideas are better than theirs" that is truly hilarious.

[applegrove]

29. Obama wants to build bridges not shut

them down.

[Nanjing to Seoul]

30. Governor Ballast burps out bullshit. Mindless moronic drones eat it up.

After the speech, he closed down the Lincoln Tunnel and told New Yorkers "I'm tired of you people" after picking a fight with a paraplegic in a wheelchair.

[davidpdx]

31. Poke Christie with a pin

because he's done.

[lostincalifornia]

33. blah, blah, blah. Repukes are disgrace to this country, and an embarrassment

[truthisfreedom]

34. Well certainly not to tie up traffic. The taxpayers pay for congress, the greatest gridlock ever.

[muriel_volestrangler]

35. "Leadership is about hiring cronies to shaft the people, and then throwing them under the bus

when their tactics become public knowledge. I learnt everything I know from watching The Sopranos, the first family of New Jersey."

[bigdarryl]

36. And to think STUPID Democrats voted for this guy

[ctsnowman]

43. And

endorsed him.

[Skittles]

37. fuck you, Christie

Obama is a leader, not a BULLY

[Uben]

39. Talk about predictable

Christie is just your typical politician. The content that oozes from his mouth depends on how many dollars he can reap from it. A cheap political whore, just like the rest. Different day, same old shit.

[mdbl]

41. CPAC - CessPool of Asshole Conservatives

Sorry. I could not think of something nicer- their personalities don't allow it.

[Javaman]

45. meh, the fading song of a crook.

seems he's trying to recapture some of his "leadership" style that made him the darling of the right wing.

he's just another crook, but then again, we are talking about the right wing and they do have this bizarre need to glorify that sort of behavior.

[bemildred]

46. "Please proceed, Governor." nt

[Beacool]

48. As a Hoboken resident I have one question for Christie.

Where is our Sandy relief money, what the hell are we paying you for???

See, governor? That can work both ways.

Christie knows that until Bridgegate hit the fan, he was very unpopular with the Tea Party crowd. Now they see him as a victim and gave him a standing ovation.

[Arkana]

49. Obama: "They pay me to keep the bridges open, you fat, blustering assclown."

[yellowcanine]

50. "Leadership," Christie said, "is not about standing on the sidelines and spit-balling."

No indeedy. It is about punishing your political enemies and all of their unlucky constituents with exquisitely timed "traffic studies" resulting in lane closures.

Christie would be wise to keep his trap shut for a while on the issue of leadership.

[lunasun]

52. Served a lot of time in the military+ foriegn policy experience too!He knows what he's talking about

"We need to make sure we say we are for America being a leader in the world and we are for a strong national defense, not one that allows other countries to run us over all over the world."

[NastyRiffraff]

53. He's desperate

Trying to make up for his praise of Obama after Sandy. In Republicanland, praising Obama is the #1 sin.

[kelliekat44]

54. I bet Christie makes as much as Obama or close to it. nt

[SummerSnow]

55. What the hell are New Jerseyians paying YOU for?

[iloveObama12]

56. The Hell Is This Bully Talkin Bout
