31. i still say Romney made a VERY inappropriate request
Mon Nov 5, 2012, 09:05 PM
Nov 2012

wanting to use Sandy for his own political purposes. Christie got so turned off by it which is why he went out of his way to praise Obama, much more than he needed to.

and with Obama i think he himself asked Christie if there was anything he needed. he made no request for any public appearance and it was probably Christie who asked him to do it. based on questions Obama was asking Christie he could tell the PResident's only concern was for the people.

i hope we will find out soon what they asked Christie for. remember ROmney was only calling up GOP governors . if he just wanted to help wouldn't he call up all governors of the states affected ?
