Republicans, praise president Obama (71)
cloud747: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-20150748
Mr Christie, a Republican and staunch supporter of Mr Romney, went out of his way to praise the Democratic president for his handling of the storm.
"I spoke to the president three times yesterday," Mr Christie told CNN. "He's been incredibly supportive and helpful to our state and not once did he bring up the election... If he's not bringing it up, I'm certainly not going to bring it up."

Chris Christie has always been one to speak his mind clearly and without apology. It's refreshing and just underscores that fact that some politicians can see past political idealogy to compliment another when they see fit. Mitt Romney is another one who has no problem working with the opposing side. It seems to me this is just what we need in Washington today.

That was beneath even you Ginitaly. You want to debate, fine. You want to sit around popping insults, you're on your own.

If Obama had been smart, he would have acted more like Christi did here. Had he reached out to republicans when he had the majority in the house and senate his first two years, his position would be much stronger today.
Instead, he focused on ramming through a widly unpopular and virtually unwritten health care bill by shutting republicans out of the meetings and telling them to take a seat in the back of the bus.
He misread his Republican opponents from day one. If he had been large-spirited and conciliatory he would have effectively undercut them, and kept them from uniting. (If he'd been large-spirited with Mr. Romney, he would have undercut him, too.) Instead he was toughly partisan, he shut them out, and positions hardened.
His chickens are indeed coming home to roost.

Those in office in the NE state and Federal government have much to think about than a election.

Debate... what debate?
There has never been any of that sort of thing when the inflammatory Right wingnuts are around... which tends to be aaahh, always
. You really must have this place mistaken with a civil and rational democracy my dear, where people actually pinpoint the REAL problems and then pool ideas 'together' to solve them instead of blaming everyone but yourselves... and that certainly wouldn't be here!
Play on.

What the hell is that all about?
I saw Christie say several times that he spoke to the President? He didn't say I'm sleeping with the President. He didn't say he's voting for the President. He said he spoke to the President to show the people of New Jersey that he and the President are working together to bring whatever kind of aid we need to rebuild areas in New Jersey that need it. That's what people (not politicians) do in times of crisis. This was a Governor and a President. NOT a Democrat and Republician!!!!!

I have to agree with Ginna. A lot of the time all we see posted here is bigoted antagonistic threads designed to insult anyone that isn't a Fundamentalist Right-Wing Christian.
Then there's the Jewish lobby, same approach. It's truly nauseating to see, especially on a dating website.
Some on here, are quite frankly mad, as mentally unhinged. And what am I going to do with them, interact or go in the other direction?
There's no real debate, it's just a chance to sling mud and spout dogma, bias and prejudice at some who cannot see it for what it is.
Personally some of the comments I've seen posted on the website since my weeks visit are disgusting, and the site hasn't thrown the culprits off. No change there, and I didn't see others reprimand Carl for his comment "willing to kill Muslims for nothing". Disgusting lunacy of the highest order.
With that, I'm off, before I say something I shouldn't reduce myself to saying.
Just because you can use your free speech, there's no need to prove how bigoted, dogmatic, ignorant and rude some of the posters are, and that is reason enough not to give some on here the time of day.

Nothing has changed in the nearly 6 years I've been on the site. There has always been a roving pack of right wing jackals, even when Dubya was still in office.
One thing I don't understand is their sheer arrogance, like they're the only ones that know what's best for the country. Even when they do wrong, it's not wrong to them, and even if it was wrong, it's always the other guy's fault.
It's downright disgusting.
