Coulter: Christie 'hoping to
use Obama to plug a dike'

Daily Caller [Washington DC], by Caroline May

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 10/31/2012 1:44:55 PM

Conservative pundit and noted Chris Christie fan Ann Coulter weighed in on the New Jersey governor’s praise and welcoming of President Barack Obama to his hurricane ravaged state, Wednesday. “I think he’s hoping to use Obama to plug a dike,” Coulter, the author of the new book “Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama,” wrote in a brief email to The Daily Caller. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, Christie, a surrogate to Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and normally harsh Obama critic, has been heaping praise on the Democratic president for his

I am not a Mayor Bloomberg fan, but I give him a tip if the hat for telling Obama to stay away and let them focus on getting things back in order.

I think Governor Christie now has something in common with Obama: They have both advanced as far as they are going to go in the political world.

On one hand I could see how Christie was forced to do this, if he had said no the MSM would have beat him down. That said, he could have invited Romney to visit, and also have been a little less effusive with his praise.


Reply 7 - Posted by: RosietheObserver, 10/31/2012 2:11:02 PM     (No. 8977199)

MSM criticized Romney for stopping the campaign to help out with Sandy, and now they have headlines that say Romney is campaigning while Obama is helping. They are traitors.

Gov.CC neither wears wooden shoes nor has his sexuality ever been in question, and his love of NJ and her people has always been forthright. And IMO, The Big Man has never been a bigger man than now in his using America's biggest hypocrit to smooze that White House LIAR into doing first for NJ.


Reply 9 - Posted by: kennedylaw, 10/31/2012 2:22:07 PM     (No. 8977215)

It is a politically smart move by Christie. It will help Christie much more than it will help Obama.

Obama is going to win New Jersey. That has never been in doubt. It doesn't matter if Obama wins New Jersey by more votes than he would have otherwise.

When Christie runs for re-election, I guarantee he will be running pictures of him and Obama in all of the Democrat strongholds.

Ms. Coulter is deluding herself, seeing what she wants to see. Rush is on this and he gets it. It's simple. It is exactly what you watched. Nothing more. Nothing complicated.

We all watched it on TV. Chris Christie folded like a cheap suit. He panicked. Melted down. Wet himself and puked on his shoes simultaneously. He thought that using his prosecutor's skills to bully some hapless teacher's union reps meant he could play in the majors. He got so full of himself that he delivered a speech at the republican convention in which he didn't even mention the republican candidate. All about Christie.

But as soon as he was faced with a real emergency, a real life and death crisis, he abandoned everything and everybody and went running to Obama begging for help. I bet he cried. Then he super-glued his lips to Obama's backside. It's disgusting.

Christie is through as a Republican. Bye Chris.

Christie is looking out for Christie, while helping his state at the same time. If he kisses Obama's mom jeans-clad rump, he will be at the front of the line for handouts.

I believe the Romney approach of delivering food, water and blankets is the right one. I do not think our government should be in the business of handing out money to people who are negligent with their own affairs. I don't think I should have to be tapped to rebuild someone's beach house. Sorry.


Reply 12 - Posted by: swimmerkennedy, 10/31/2012 2:37:27 PM     (No. 8977243)

If Romney wins, Chris Christie has no shot at the presidency. Romney will be the incumbent. Then Paul Ryan will be the next in line.

So this, IMO, is his way to throw the election to Obama (and make his path easier in 2016). But he has no clue on the blow back.

He will take a huge share of the blame. And have no future left in the GOP.

His excuse that he needed to get some funds (which would have come anyhow) for his state, at the expense of an entire country, holds no water.

I don't live in NJ. Christie does and he has seen the horror created by Sandy at the Jersey Shores and in the northern cities like Hoboken.

Obama can release money and Christie plans to be in the front of the line. Christie loves his state and her citizens. Take him at his word - disaster trumps politics right now.

As Krauthammer said last evening, it's worth a couple of hundred million to have Obama in the state.

I have never felt the tingle up the leg thing with Christie. He comes across as a loudmouth, a blowhard and a bully. He is not sound on the Muslims. He seems to have something wrong with his glands which needs treatment. He is the only one who knows why he gave a gratuitous boost to Obama and why he made the disparaging and needless crack("I couldn't care less...") about Romney. That was disrespectful. I am not happy about it. Other people, some of them, think he is swell. I think he is a joeik.

12 you are right, and I'll add this: First Christie has to win re election, and that is 2013 in Jersey remember! He is right on top of the beginning of HIS re elect campaign. He wants to be seen with Obama and to be flush with Obama stash for Jersey's economy heading into 2013 re election.

The not so conservative Republican Chris Christy had a panic attack right in front of millions of Americans. From his Bully Pulpit he ran straight to the Federal Government stating he didn't care about the Presidential election. Wow! When things get tough this so called tough guy folds like a cheap suit. All states including New Jersey will get financial aid and any other type of assistance required. Meanwhile America desperately needs new leadership in the White House. Christy will never be President of the U.S. He lacks the proper temperament, is too egotistical and authoritative. it's difficult trying to figure out exactly where he stands on issues. In other words America does not need another President that can't be trusted.

How would Obama NOT have sent aid to a Dem state one week before the election? Christie did not need to "play the harlot" to help his state. Nor did he need to bash Romney in the process. A polite thank you would have sufficed. IMO, he's been bought, but he sure must believe Obama's going to win because he has burned his bridges.

We don't get the candidates we want. Or the Presidents. Or the Governors. Or the Mayors. Those we want are ideals.

Instead we must always get a person. And each one sees his duties and obligations differently.

Christie probably figured his duty as Governor included staying out of a quarrel with Obama while Sandy required attention. And he did.

Bloomberg didn't want more non-essential vehicles and hoopla in Manhattan. He said stay away.

I really don't see any significant screw-up or sell out related to Sandy.


Reply 24 - Posted by: Fb2002, 10/31/2012 4:42:57 PM     (No. 8977567)

Christie should not praise our dear leader. I will never forgive him, Christie is an attention grabbing so an so.

Christie is only doing what RINOs do. The GOP would rather lose an election than come across as "mean spirited".


Reply 26 - Posted by: redink, 10/31/2012 5:20:51 PM     (No. 8977690)

All fine and good wanting emergency funds...does Christie need to give the media a photo-op hugging and clasping Obama as if there was no other help?
If Obama withheld emergency funds after all the stricken pictures of NJ...you can bet he'd be toasted and eaten.
There was no need to kiss-up, Gov. No need. And a great need to show the country what independence and dignity look like.

Christie-I loathe you now and forever after.

I'm confused. I thought this thread was about the PIAPS or Code Pink.

A religious group spewing what the owners of One Liberty Place call hate speech against women, whites and gays can no longer demonstrate immediately outside the building´s entrance at 16th and Chestnut Streets, a judge ruled today.

WASHINGTON — Schoolchildren from New Jersey shore communities battered by Superstorm Sandy will join Michelle Obama for a garden harvest next week. The White House says the first lady will also be joined Tuesday by students who helped plant the crops last month. The New Jersey students are from Union Beach Memorial School in Union Beach and Long Beach Island Grade School in Ship Bottom. Both schools were damaged in last October’s storm. Both also teach their students about healthy eating, which is one of the first lady’s causes. The students who helped plant lettuce, broccoli and various other crops

TRENTON — President Barack Obama will return to New Jersey on Tuesday to survey Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts with Gov. Chris Christie, according to a statement obtained by The Star-Ledger. The visit will mark Obama´s second trip to the shore since the storm hit about six months ago. “As residents and businesses prepare for a busy summer season, President Obama will visit the Jersey Shore with Governor Christie on Tuesday to view the ongoing recovery efforts after Hurricane Sandy devastated areas of the coastline last fall," the White House statement says.

There have been a number of new revelations this week in the ever expanding scope of the IRS scandal. However, even with so many developments in the investigation of this egregious scandal, there was extremely limited coverage of the unfolding of this affair in the morning news of many more liberal stations like ABC, NBC, and CBS. In contrast, Fox News devoted almost 15 minutes in their programming on Thursday morning’s Fox & Friends show to enlighten the public of all of the new information in the scandal. The only other station to provide any coverage

In a long-awaited speech at the National Defense University, Barack Obama claimed that the nature of international terror attacks threatening the United States has changed since Sept. 11, 2001, with ´no large-scale attacks´ on America occurring since then. But his definition of ´large-scale attacks,´ his speech made clear, doesn´t include the 2013 Boston Marathon attack that wounded hundreds, the 2012 Benghazi terror attack that injured dozens and killed four, and the 2009 attack at Fort Hood that killed 13 and injured 30. All those attacks had the potential to leave far more American bodies in their wake than they actually did.

Another major political speech, another Code Pink heckling. During President Obama‘s counterterrorism policy speech at National Defense University on Thursday afternoon, Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin interrupted when the topic turned to the closing of the military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. “I’m about to address it, ma’am,” Obama said as Benjamin went off about the hunger strike currently taking hold amongst Gitmo detainees. “Why don’t you sit down? But you’ve got to let me speak.” “You are commander-in-chief! You can close Gitmo today!”

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

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.

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.

Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies!
