Reader says Governor is more comfortable playing the victim than being a true leader
When Katrina hit, President Bush was derided for not stopping for a photo op, told that he hated blacks, didn’t care for poor people, etc. The president made sure that congress swiftly got tens of billions into the area within a month.
Now, Sandy hits, President Obama plays Christie for some pre-election leadership press, hugs a lady to make every cover of the nation’s liberal press and gets re-elected. As fast as Sandy swooped in and left, so did the president. He got what he needed and his new bosom buddy Chris is left at the alter.
Instead of realizing that he was made to be a useful tool for the Democrats, Christie lashes out at Boehner (not that Mr. Speaker is without sin) saying that he and congress won’t let him get a third of the Sandy Pork bill. If he were so chummy with the president, he would give him a call in HI, and ask ‘Can you please address these bozos in congress and get some aid up here? People are hurting.’
Unfortunately the governor is more comfortable playing the victim than being a true leader.
