Chris Christie: "What do you want me to do? Get a mop?"

[Rustic]

 

[thereisnospoon]

What do you want him to do, get a mop? All the left ever did was whine and blame Bush for Katrina. Christie handled Sandy pretty well.

But he hugged Obama! You're supposed to hate him now.

Christie is a politician. When he's not kissing babies, he's stealing their candy...Meaning, he keeps his options open

What a total asshole this guy is. He's never been anything but a suck-up to George Bush and a wannabe POTUS. He's been a terrible governor here in NJ.

In coastal New Jersey, a flood of criticism for Christie follows storm

Residents of New Jersey's southern shorefront towns on Monday cleaned up homes and businesses flooded by a storm surge during the weekend's massive blizzard and rued what they described as Governor Chris Christie's dismissive treatment of the damage.
The storm that walloped Washington and New York with about 2 feet (60 cm) of snow hit coastal Cape May County in New Jersey with tides higher than those measured during 2012's Superstorm Sandy, sending salt water into properties and forcing hundreds of people to evacuate.
Jim Hand voiced exasperation as he surveyed the damage at Fred's Tavern in Stone Harbor, a bar and liquor store about 35 miles (56 km) down the coast from Atlantic City. Hand, a member of the third generation of his family to own the shop, said that the property's kitchen, electrical wiring and floors would all need to be replaced.
"We're doing the same thing today we did after Sandy," said Hand, 61.
He was one of a handful of local business owners to criticize comments by Christie, a Republican White House contender who told CNN on Sunday that he had "no concerns" about flooding as a result of the storm.
"Keep this in perspective," Christie told CNN during a one-day return to the state from the campaign trail in New Hampshire. "Cape May County area was the least flooded area during Hurricane Sandy and had almost no damage in that area."
No immediate estimate of the financial toll of the flooding damage was available but reinsurance broker Aon Benfield said that total insured losses along the East Coast will run into the billions of dollars.
Hand had no patience for Christie's words, saying, "It shows you how out of touch he is with what's going on in his state."

Here's a crazy idea. STOP RE-BUILDING IN A FLOOD ZONE!!!

Idiots.

Not going to happen. Jersey shore towns' economies rely on summer visitors. Before Hurricane Sandy there was never much of a problem, but to get into that we'd have to discuss climate change and rising sea levels.

Also, many of the larger, million-dollar homes are owned by very wealthy people in Manhattan who will simply rebuild and repair, it's chump change to them.

Which translates to, "more money than brains"..

Idiots.

Or if you rebuild a seasonal tourist service biz in a flood zone, build it knowing you'll get flooded.

Again, it didn't use to be that way. Climate change is real and happening. If this part of the country was prone to flooding, the New York Subway would have been built above-ground and probably just called the Way.

Climate change? Sure. The Earth's climate cycles are in constant flux.
And your solution is...?

The only thing I get from this thread, which derives no doubt from Maddow's show last night, is that Maddow is afraid of Christie running. She had a sense about his electability last year; which is why she pre-emptively beat "Bridgegate" to death.

Nope, Maddow (the far left) is not happy at all about the prospect of a Christie run...

No, I didn't see Maddow last night so you're wrong right out of the box.
No, the left is not happy with Christie and neither is the right.
Maddow is also beating Flint, Michigan's water problem "to death". So maybe you'd better start paying attention. Bridgegate ain't over yet.

"""Only 33 percent of those polled have a favorable view of Christie, whose unfavorable rating at home is also at its highest point yet — 59 percent — even as he's ................
Just 23 percent approve of his handling of taxes, while 71 percent disapprove. On the economy, 30 percent approve and 63 percent disapprove, and 25 percent approve of the state budget while 63 percent disapprove."""

That Flint thing? Its old news.....On a national scale, its a flyspeck. Madcow is beating it to death because she is using it to attack a republican governor.

Bitch lives on sixth street ...in jersey city....wid da homies....

Princeton, actually:

Welcome to Drumthwacket, the Official Residence of the Governor of New Jersey

Far enough inland not to concern himself with the shore dwellers.

Ahh yes. The shore dwellers.
Are you aware of how the shore towns operate?
Do a little research.
Google terms such as "private beach". "beach fees". "bennies"....."outsiders"....."beach clubs"....."

(A) I said nothing about private v public ownership
(B) NJ is not Miami. What percentage of NJ beachfront do you believe is private? Show your work.

If he pisses off people like you, he's done a damn fine job.

What, in your mind, makes him "progressive"?

He's not progressive, just regressive. This state has been downgraded 9 times by Moody's since he took office. Property values are through the basement floor. People are leaving.
