| The media have thrilled to the sight of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie offering words of praise for President Barack Obama’s response to Hurricane Sandy. The prospect of the president’s tour of the devastation Wednesday has journalists and Obama supporters giddy with glee. Viewing the event--as usual--through a purely political lens, the left’s pundits are celebrating their luck: could this be the October surprise that saves Obama? Conservatives have largely ignored the supposed Christie-Obama bromance, because most understand that this is simply what elected leaders are supposed to do.

Christie is a pompous useful idiot. He seems to have plenty of time for the cameras.

I'll admit to being a little upset with Christies' "embrace" of Obama...but, as Pollak states, it's what real leaders are supposed to do i.e., put aside the politics in times of serious trouble. Of course, I suspect Obama only did this for political reasons.

NJ was going Obama anyhow, so no loss on that part.
This will only illustrate how LITTLE Obama can do for these people, and gov't in particular getting in the way.
Frustration will build, and Obama will be blamed.

Christie will now be the star in a new Obama campaign commercial.
See--Obama does work well with republicans.
At least Bloomberg decided to focus on the job of recovery without Obama.

It'll be hard to use Christie when he is very critical of Obama at the next turn. Obama is the man who can lend assistance to NJ. Christie is Gov of NJ. Maybe he went over the top, but this is about the residents of his state,not helping Mitt who cannot do anythign until Jan 21ish.

More excuse making for Christie. He is effectively campaigning for Obama today, and it can NOT be excused with the explanation that NJ is expected to go for Obama anyway. His effusive praise and the video and pictures of him campaigning with Obama will be broadcast and published in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Wisonsin ... It is NOT local.
No, Christie is through as a national Republican. He freaked out and ran to Obama for some of that Washington money that just magically appears from out of nowhere (translation - from MY pocket). And we all watched. Another "conservative" bites the dust.

If sucking up to Obama gets the preezy to release more funds to NJ sooner, I support Christie. Disaster and helping citizens get back on their feet trumps party politics.
It's not like NJ is in play, folks.

There is no way that Obama could have ignored this hurricane aftermath, like he did after the Benghazi attack, and have any chance in the election. So even if the Obama and the liberal Democrats in reality are all for big government, huge bureaucracies and the attendant red tape that such federal departments thrive upon, a week before the election, Obama must claim that he is now all for jettisoning red tape.
Christie must take care of New Jersey first, is doing everything he can do to get New Jersey as much federal aid as possible. Christie will talk about Obama favorably, and show him around essentially as if Obama was a federal insurance adjuster, so that New Jersey can get as much federal assistance as possible.

Article makes good points.
Christie is doing what he has to in order to get maximum FEMA funds. Just like Paul Ryan requested stimulus funding from Biden - it’s part of the job.
Anyone who thinks this bit of glad handing is going to tip the scales to 0-bama at this point is delusional. You don’t turn around 4 years of incompetence just by flying around in a helicopter with a concerned look on your face.

#19, for every .52$ we get from FEMA, it costs NJ residents $1.00.
I can't believe I am going to say this, but I wish CC had the nards that BLOOMBERG had and told the Wan to stay home.

Schools and police stations were burning in Stockholm as violent riots continued for a fifth consecutive night. Emergency services were called to 70 separate incidents, including two torched primary schools, burning shops and a destroyed library building also housing a local police unit. Despite police claiming that the situation is beginning to calm down, critics say the riots were unavoidable after years of widening social gaps in a country which has the highest proportion of foreign-born citizens in Scandinavia.

The lawyer picked Thursday to succeed Patrick Fitzgerald as Chicago´s U.S. attorney is a former federal prosecutor best known for taking on corrupt politicians and powerful institutions such as the University of Notre Dame. Zachary Fardon would take over an office that has made its mark nationally by putting crooked government officials behind bars but increasingly faces pressure to do more to help in the fight against Chicago´s violent street gangs. "Zachary Fardon will be unwavering in his commitment to justice, and I am confident he will serve the people of Illinois with excellence," President Barack Obama said

In an email to supporters, DNC Spokesman Brad Woodhouse writes that Republicans´ accusations of scandal aren´t legitimate — a claim that´s sure to draw howls from the right."Getting in President Obama´s way has been the top priority for Republicans in Congress since day one.

Gracin’s handler quickly stepped in, nodding to the recording device in my hand and helpfully reminding him that he was on the record.

The Obama Administration fought to keep a search warrant for James Rosen’s private e-mail account secret, arguing to a federal judge that the government might need to monitor the account for a lengthy period of time. The new details are revealed in a court filing detailing a back and forth between the Justice Department and the federal judges who oversaw the request to search a Gmail account belonging to Rosen, a reporter for Fox News. A 2009 article Rosen had written about North Korea sparked an investigation; Ronald C. Machen, Jr., the U.S. Attorney who is prosecuting Stephen Jin-Woo Kim,

As Democrats and the media continue to hammer Virginia lieutenant governor hopeful E.W. Jackson for his past comments on social issues, the Christian minister says he is battling what he calls the “mainstream media’s caricature” of him. In an email sent to The Daily Caller this week, the running mate to Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli said “every one of those comments has a context and were spoken in my role as a minister, not as a candidate.” In particular, the black Republican took issue with the media’s outrage over his comments on abortion.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose
