LOL: Gov Christie: Putin Wouldn't Dare Treat ME The Way Putin Treats Obama.

September 2, 2014, 4:58 PM EDT 26 views

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) reportedly assured a room of GOP activists recently that Russian President Vladimir Putin wouldn't dare treat him the way Putin treats President Obama.

...........................

He had trouble selling his audience on a tough stance, the Times reported:

According to an audio recording of the event, he said Mr. Putin had taken the measure of Mr. Obama. “I don’t believe, given who I am, that he would make the same judgment,” Mr. Christie said. “Let’s leave it at that.”

One attendee described Mr. Christie’s answer as disturbingly heavy on swagger and light on substance. Another called it “uncomfortable to watch.”

I can just see Putin shaking in his boots at the prospect of the very sedentary bloviating Christie.

And I doubt Putin would give a shit who was president. He was able to push bush around and is mad Obama is not giving in to him.
