But apparently the guy with the sign has been working pretty diligently on relief efforts for superstorm Sandy, and isn't terribly impressed with the response from the Governor or his office in terms of assisting the relief workers. That might explain why Christie is so defensive in this clip, and even goes to the extreme position of claiming that he has been working on Sandy relief when the cameras and reporters aren't around. That little comment spurred a request from other citizens to the Governor's office to detail all those times when Christie was out there working on relief efforts.

I haven't heard whether the Governor's office has responded, but if I had to guess how many times Christie has been out of his office working on relief efforts without a coterie of cameras and reporters along to document it, I'd put the over/under at 1 and I'd take the under.
