Hey Column Boy, how about signing an order to allow volunteers from other states help without joining a UNION. IMHO, he has revealed himself as a huge fraud.

WHY don't you ask your PAL OBAMA to mandate the evil oil companpy to bring more in? Oh, and by the way, when I went to Seton Hall Law, we learned to be true to our convictions. Sad to see you never learned that lesson. Must have been free ice cream day, and you were getting seconds.

The governor is excellent in finance and Obama elsewhere.

Can he legally do this? Under what law is he exercising this power?

Smart move. They did this in the gas shortage in the 1970's and it worked well. The problem with shortages is that everyone wants to top off their tank in case they can't get more. But the average tank is always half empty, so the panic just makes the shortage worse. By forbidding people to purchase gas every single day, he alleviates the problem.

Christie has been a turncoat for a long time. We all know this.

I travel all over NJ on a daily basis. The southwest quadrant of the state, south of I-195 seems least impacted by the storm. Gas stations are open and no lines to be seen. The contrast with the damage to northern NJ is remarkable.

Go get another hug Chubs.

I hope Christie has risen as high in government as he will ever get.

New Jersistan has always been a communist state and always will be. It is what the people desire. Get over it.

Krispy Kreme is just acting in the way an elected representative should act in accordance with the wishes of his voters.

Get a good conservative in NJ and you buck representative government. Conservatism is a minority in the people's republic of new jersistan.

I do admire how krispy kreme gets nutty with the press. He puts those half wits in their place.

How about getting some generators for the gas stations that can't pump the gas out of their tanks? Then how about getting more tanker trucks to come and park on a corner - charge $20 for a 5 gallon can of gas, and pump it right from the truck?

Get the military to do helo drops if they have to, of food, water and blankets for these poor people.

Then when this is finally cleared up, how about having the legislature look into ways gas stations can keep working during power outages, and ways to bury your electric lines?

I am going to cut Christie some slack here. His first obligation is to the citizens of NJ. Not the GOP or R/R. If that means making nice with Barky just to get things done, so be it. He is on record criticizing Barky's last 4 years so thats all we can expect from a GOP guv of a blue state.

Remember how the LA guv played games with Bush for political reasons when Katrina showed up ? Christy isn't doing that. He just wants help wherever he can find it. Its not like Mitt was going to carry NJ anyway so let this one go.

There are many, many good conservatives in New Jersey. I know lots of them.

Well poster 12. I hope Christie isn't dumb enough to think Obama is gonna do anything special for NJ. He already got what he wanted and now Christie and NJ will be thrown under the bus.

Christie could have stepped in and stopped the union thugs from sending the volunteer utility workers from Alabama away because the did not want to sign up to be in the union. That is not in the best interest of the residents of NJ.

Well, at least we all know that Governor Christie is not going to starve to death, bless him.

There are a lot of sick people and elderly and mothers without food and babies without formula and diabetics without insulin and no one has a toilet let alone toilet paper...

And think about all the people that are in pain and don't have water to take an aspirin they don't have - let alone morphine?

Still, the Governor's a big guy: well fed, that one.

There was no rationing in the 70s. There were price controls that caused shortages. It didn't work well.
