Hard to picture the governor accurately tossing a football . . .

The party then moved to an arcade called "TouchDown Fever" to try and win a stuffed bear by tossing a football through a tire. Obama tried and missed a few times. Christie then threw the ball through the tire, on his first and only try. Obama gave him a high five ending in a clasp. And said, "That's because he's running for office." The guy behind the counter gave Obama a "Chicago" bear.

(6,336 posts)I thought it was going to be more 'bipartisan' but in reality Christie spoke for about 30 seconds.
Even as the staunch Democrat I am, I do appreciate that he did help rebuild and that they're working together (I think more needs to be done). Christie's Democratic opponent, Barbara Buono was also working the crowds at the event (I assume most people there will be voting for her).
On a happy note, I got to shake Obama's hand.
