Republican Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie’s public embrace of Mr. Obama reverberated across the country. Gov. Christie said that President Obama deserves “great credit” for his response to Hurricane Sandy, during an appearance on “CBS This Morning” Tuesday.
“I can’t thank the president enough for that,” Christie said, referring to the major disaster declaration Obama signed for New Jersey, expediting federal aid to the state. “Cooperation from the president of the United States has been outstanding. He deserves great credit.”
Whether Christie’s comments are attributable to being beyond partisanship or a function of his own presidential aspirations is a matter of considerable speculation. Regardless of his motivation, Christie’s remarks serve as a virtual endorsement of President Obama’s reelection bid for 2012.
