Gotta love Chris Christie praising the president

[proud2BlibKansan]

I've seen him 3 times this morning and he can't say enough nice things about Obama.

Hee hee.

[BeyondGeography]

1. He's promoting himself as a reasonable man

He knows his party is filled with crazy people and he wouldn't want to lead it right now. He really doesn't like a lot of them.

He's also, I believe, genuinely thankful.

2. +1000 nt

[Indpndnt]

3. He definitely appears genuine, which, to be honest, is very surprising.

Too used to watching him spout the party line and yell like a banshee. I know he has a number of reasons for saying these things now, but I hope he keeps it up.

5. He's making up for going to Disneyland with his kids during other NJ disasters.

4. Listen carefully and you'll notice he's really praising himself

For being so important that Obama is treating him like the special person he is. Why Obama wants Christie to call him personally if he needs anything, anything at all. Doesn't even need to go through any channels or anything. Just put him on fast dial and call.

Everything is about Christie when Christie talks. Sometimes he has to praise others to make himself look good.

6. Obama made christie look good, that's cause for praise

[GoCubsGo]

7. No, I don't.

I'll give him credit, where credit is due, but I don't have to love him.

8. Crises - and surviving them --

have a way of making people really grateful (and solicitous!)

[cynatnite]

9. I'll give him credit where credit is due, but it doesn't change the fact that he's a bully. n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. That makes his praise all the more meaningful.

11. Nasty Peter King even praised FEMA, Fed response

Peter King- the Repub NY Congressman (who is strongly anti-Obama and always peddling the extreme Darrell Issa and Tea Party agendas against the White House) was praising Feds response this morning. I was even more shocked by that than the Christie praise.

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. That is indeed shocking.

[hifiguy]

12. Few people bite the hand that pulls them out of the quicksand.

The only thing this establishes is that Christie is still rational in some way.

13. Lol

Chris Christie on his interrupted sleep last night: "The president woke me up one time, which is fine, he gets to."


Keep the praise up, Christie.
