GOP Senator Blames Christie For Obama's Re-Election

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) has no plans to hop aboard the Chris Christie bandwagon.

In an interview with The Oklahoman, Inofe said he'd "have a hard time" backing the newly re-elected New Jersey governor for president. Inhofe evidently is one of many Republicans who believes that Christie's response to Hurricane Sandy last year helped secure a second term for President Barack Obama.

"Christie I still hold responsible for ... the re-election of Obama," Inhofe said, as quoted by The Oklahoman.

When the reporter asked if Inhofe was referring to Sandy, the senator said, "And the way [Christie] handled it, yeah."

2. One difference

between Democrats and Republicans is that we didn't blame Obama for Christie winning last week. Republicans blamed Christie for Obama winning last year.

4. Oh let him throw his snitfit

The truth be told Obama would have still beaten Rmoney had Sandy not happened and Christie and Obama had not jointly surveyed the damage from the storm. He's looking for a scapegoat.

Now I would normally make some joke about a target and size, but I'll pass on that one.
