Republican Chris Christie gets a pat on the back & an okee-dokee

[SoCalDem]

when he claims that New Jersey's problems go back 10 years & he's not expected to fix it right away..but President Obama is not ever "allowed" to even MENTION the nightmare he inherited from GW..

[Kurovski]

1. Are you watching Morning Blow, er "Joe"?

[SoCalDem]

2. yep.. while I do laundry...

Gave myself a haircut at 3 AM..then a shower..now laundry

Morning Killer is background noise:)

[Kurovski]

4. I haven't had coffee, or my thyroid meds yet...

where do you get off with all this activity so early? :D you're even an hour earlier...two!!

[SoCalDem]

5. Haven't slept yet.. For me it's still "yesterday"

:rofl:

[Kurovski]

7. I've been there.

When I lived in Washington, i always did better on less sleep. I think it was the clean ocean air.

[madokie]

15. So yesterday is today

what does that make tomorrow :-)
:hi:

didn't mean to butt in, sorry but just couldn't resist.

[SoCalDem]

16. my life is one long day, interspersed with occasional 45-minute naps

:(

[Kurovski]

3. Yes, well, how else will the Repubs get to permanent majority status and own the White House

if they sympathize with a Dem?

We all know by now that that is the goal. Grover Norquist, et al, are working toward the one party rule in this nation. It's not a secret, is it? I think we can Google some thoughts along those lines.

[Kurovski]

6. Does Christie remind anyone else of Fred Flintstone?

Looks, attitude, rocks for brains, the whole package.

[SoCalDem]

10. He better drop a few pounds or we'll be reading about his heart attack

He's still young enough to have it really affect his lifespan.

[Kurovski]

12. And he has the kids to think of.

Good luck to the miserable asshole. He is in fact, wider than Fred Flinstone.

[malaise]

8. Amazing isn't it

Good morning all. :hi:

[Kurovski]

11. I had to change the channel.

all the sanctimonious crap and nonsense had me far too, I dunno...bored.

Shall we have vodka in our coffee today, comrade? :D

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. "The Party of (NO) Responsibility" strikes again

Obama got approximately 18 months to fix all of the nation's problems- some of which he rightly claimed were caused by the previous eight years under Bushco- before "the people" decided that he had failed and that they had better bring in the Republican Tea Party to "help" him. :eyes: Many Republicans, of course, declared his Presidency a failure even before it started and boldy announced their desire (and intent) to see him fail from the get-go. Unfortunately Christie and, probably, the Republican Tea Party will undoubtedly get several years to "fix" (mess up more) the state/nation's problems. :banghead: :puke: :mad:

[Kurovski]

13. It's almost impossible to see these things happening and remain calm.

But you have to try, PLD! It's too early for puking. (Unless one is Jan Brewer expelling all that pink chardonnay, and nicotine. and tar.)

[SoCalDem]

14. meow coming...

Brewer's hair reminds me of when my kitty dismantles a q-tip...

[Kurovski]

18. Cut on the short side...

so no one needs to hold it over the bowl.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

23. The hypocrisy and double standards

that the Republicans and corporate media hold us to is infuriating!

[Graybeard]

17. Christie used his kids as human shields.

This cowardly bastard, in the face of incoming criticism of his handling of a crisis, hid behind his children. "The kids wanted to go to Disney World." "I had to go because I promised the kids."

Don't criticize me. It's the kids fault. What a disgusting POS.

[Kurovski]

20. Well put.

Also his soon-to-be dying father-in-law, remember. They did it for a dying old man. A sob story, "everything but the hounds snappin' at his rear-end". if you can't leave Disneyland during a crisis during your watch, you don't belong as a public servant.

Some reporter should follow up on his story, if possible. Ticket purchases, whatever.

No Dem's career would have ever survived this one. The double standard is becoming a bit too wearying.

[affrayer]

19. They did the same thing with Bush Jr

If you recall, they went way into his second term demanding his tax cuts for the wealthy be given more time to work...while all the time blaming Clinton for it not working.

[Kurovski]

21. Republican economic policies never work. Never.

And that's the "what I learned today" moment I wish everyone would get.

It's why Truman said "If you want to live like a republican, vote Democratic." The pubby policies are historically disastrous.

[bulloney]

22. If Ted Strickland would have gotten the same courtesy in Ohio.

He took over a mess in Ohio in 2006 from 16 straight years of Republican governors and 14 straight years of Repubs controlling both houses of the legislature and all elected cabinet posts.

He couldn't do it in four years, so he gets the boot in favor of a yahoo cowboy whose ideology got the state in the mess it's in.
