After the RNC, Gov. Christie seemed obnoxious. But watching him show genuine concern for everyone as he toured shoulder-to-shoulder with President Obama, it's easy to admire and respect officials who put the health, safety, and welfare of Americans ahead of politics. President Obama has always done that.
Thanks to both of you for your warmth, your friendliness, your professionalism, and your grit to make things happen.

cause this is a real ass-burn!

But it is true...and personally, I respect the fact that politics is shoved aside to take care of the American people. That is what is SUPPOSED to happen.

I would love to see President Obama Appoint him to something in his 2nd term Not that POTUS wouldn't do it but I doubt Christie would take it

But IF it did I would watch Faux all day the day it was announced so I could see the total meltdown

Christi is Italian (as am I) and cannoli's are part and parcel of the heritage.

Damn, now I want a cannoli.

it's the either or deal with some people. Either people who are overweight aren't allowed to eat or if they are pictured with food than it's "okay" to ridicule them.

We live in a weird society.

I go on jags talking about food.

I was lucky to be in Italy earlier this year, in Sicily specifically, and my GF and I stopped at a local eatery. Not really a deli not really a restaurant. (that kind of establishment seems to be fairly common there) Anyway, they had about 6 to 8 different types of fillings for the cannoli's. Ohhhhh man, we tried them all! LOL The best was one that had a sweetened squash.

Okay, I better stop now. LOL

You see, you never know on this board who you are going to piss off.

I might have pissed off two groups just asking these questions---I'd love to see the Venn.

He is a grown up. The game of Politics needed to be put aside while Reality was dealt with.

Good for him.

Looks like it's a spoof.

Funny, though. Especially if it got Rush in a snit.

When it comes to getting things done, I don't care what party someone is in. The responsibility I have is much bigger than politics.
