| Atlantic City, N.J., famous for its boardwalk and casinos, is underwater this morning. The city's mayor, Lorenzo Langford, calls in to discuss the status of the flooded city and the harsh criticism he received from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Atlantic City mayor Lorenzo Langford escalated tensions with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie after the mayor said Tuesday he would welcome the chance over how he handled the city’s evacuation during Hurricane Sandy. A day earlier, Christie had criticized Langford as a “rogue mayor” for supposedly encouraging residents to ride out the storm

Comments:
FTA: “to confront the governor mano y mano”
This always drives me crazy.
"mano a mano" or "mano y mano" does NOT mean "man to man".
It means "hand to hand"
So do you want to fight Christie?

Governor Chris Christie is a lot of things, but misinformed and ill-advised never even makes it on the radar!

Any city like Atlantic City built on a sand dune beside a wild sea is already seriously at risk. The same goes for New Orleans. It should have been condemned and allowed to go back to the swamp it was long ago. All of America pays for the flawed judgement of a few.

It is difficult to believe that a NJ mayor would be dumb enough to irritate Governor Christie.

I would like Chris Christie to explain WHY he has invited obama to tour the damage of New Jersey with him on Wednesday. What a great photo-op for the opportunist-in-chief. Christie's lost his "charm" as far as I'm concerned.

#6, disagree with you on this one. I'll be surprised if this visit would redound to any particular political benefit for Obama. Christie is smart, he is a strong Governor, and a strong Romney supporter. Obama will be hard pressed to
slip any slick political moves past Christie.

Christie presumably didn't want this guy to pull a Ray Nagin,namely protect himself from reputational risk of any inconvenient forced evacuation, then blame the higher authorities for any tragedies that follow. So Christie let it be known from the beginning that he demanded more and this Donk was in the way. This way he got past the Donk to tell the people to Get Out.

Now that Christie will be touring with Obama, he can expect a Beer Summit so Obama can tell Christie he rushed to judgement on the mayor.... or say Christie doesn't understand ebonics... either way, this will end badly. The mayor is black.

Chris Christie is a politician...and a very astute one at that. Like President Romney when he was governor of Massachusetts, Christie has to work with a majority Democrat legislature in a very blue state.
Inviting Obama to get media exposure in NJ, and complimenting him as well, is a beautiful win-win strategic move on Christie's part.
He knows this won't help Obama win at this late stage. The ignorant Dem voters and legislators will be grateful (and beholden to him) for this bold bipartisan move. And Republicans will forgive him easily.
Now, if he'd just stop playing pat-a-cake with the muslims, I could learn to love him again. [Chris! You're an Irish/Sicilian Catholic! Study what these barbarians are doing to Christians...and fight them!]

I don't know how pro-Romney Christie is. I remember at the RNC he spent the majority of his speech talking about himself. Now he calls Obama's involvement ''magnificent'' and takes him on a photo-op tour,right before the election, when even the liberal Bloomberg turned Obama down? Seems to me Christie is showing a ''reach across the aisles'' pose, for his next election maybe?

West Virginia Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller, one of the towering architects of Obamacare, on Tuesday openly criticized program managers for not moving quickly enough to build the system, warning that if it gets off to a bumpy start it will just get worse. Decrying the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as way too complex, he warned the acting Medicare director that Obamacare is "so complicated and if it isn´t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse."

The withdrawal came less than a week after medical school Dean Paul B. Rothman chastised Carson for his comments and met with graduating students concerned that the famed physician was an inappropriate commencement speaker.

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes. Some conservatives have called on Obama to give up golf, especially since popular public tours of the White House have been canceled because of

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Is Anthony Weiner completely delusional? Or is he out of his flipping, sex-crazed gourd? Whatever big-busted fantasies crawl around the ex-congressman’s delirious noggin, la Weiner made his next goal as clear as the skin of the wholesome college students he craved: He relishes being Mayor Weiner. Please, shut up this clown. These days, the genitally obsessed Weiner has nothing much to do, except sit in his lavish Manhattan apartment and — the inhumanity! — change the poopy diapers of his 16-month-old son, Jordan. Worse, Weiner is living under a kind of house arrest, sentenced to take extreme grief

During the Q and A session after Sen. Rand Paul’s speech at Howard University, one student explained that he was not a fan of his view of government. “You say you want to provide a government that leaves us alone, quite frankly, I don’t want that,” the student said. “I want a government that is going to help me.” The student insisted that he wanted assistance for his college education and asked if Rand Paul supported a culture change within the nation. “Do you Sen.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded Monday that implementing the Affordable Care Act has been more complicated and frustrating than the Obama administration expected, largely due to Republicans who have opposed the law´s state-based exchanges and Medicaid expansion. "The politics has been relentless and that continues," Sebelius said. "There was some hope that once the Supreme Court ruled in July, and then once an election occurred there would be a sense that, ´This is the law of the land, let´s get on board, let´s make this work.´"

Seven hundred Military Special Operations professionals. And one insistent and very angry Mom. This is becoming a deadly combination for the political game players in the Obama Administration. Sean Smith, the young State Department computer wizard who was brutally murdered that September night in Benghazi, was Pat Smith’s only child. Let’s say that again. Sean Smith was Mrs. Smith’s only child. To listen to her recent radio interview with another Sean… Sean Hannity… is to have the heart break.
