OK...Making a defacto campaign commercial for your party's opponent a mere few days before the election is cool with you, as long as you say he's "doing the right thing".People are pissed because he went out and made a big fat show of it right before the election.
You gonna tell us he couldn't have held out for a week before getting Obiedoodle on the horn for the FEMA trucks and the federal bailout payola?
Are you really saying that he should have resisted working with the president based on partisan hackery? The timing might have been bad but you really need to realize that he did not pick the timing; nature did when it smashed large swaths of his state before the election.
I will NOT be a partisan simply for the sake of hating Obama and I can admit when a politician did something right. If Christie would have waited a week to avoid the election he would have been WRONG pulling the party line for the sake of PARTY and NOT good governance. How can you possibly justify such an action? That is corrupt to the core, the very thing that you profess to be against.
In my view, "doing the right thing" would have been doing as best as you could, for as long as you could, before you went to the feds with your hand out, no matter what particular time of the year it was...But that's just me.
Your first line gives you away -- "for your party's opponent". For you it's all about the party, and the citizens come second.
Not to mention it's easy to Monday morning quarterback when the storm is in New Jersey and you're in Saskatchewan -- which ironically is underwater itself recently...
