5. Remember? "Christie: Obama delivered on Sandy"

I am looking forward to having a President who is focused on the needs of the people, rather than trying to turn a disaster into an opportunity to settle personal grudges as Trump does.

On the six-month anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Monday dismissed GOP criticism of his kind words for President Barack Obama in the aftermath of the storm and said that the president has delivered everything he promised.

“No,” he said flatly on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” when asked whether he regretted working with and lauding Obama after the devastating storm — something that occurred right ahead of the 2012 election and outraged some conservatives.

“Listen, the president has kept every promise that he made,” Christie said. “What I was saying at the time was, I was asked how the president was doing, I said, he’s doing a good job, he’s kept his word. And so everybody knows that I have about 95 percent level disagreement with Barack Obama on issues of principle and philosophy. But the fact is we have a job to do. And what people expect from people they elect is to do their job.”

Christie, a potential 2016 GOP contender, was snubbed by some in the conservative establishment after Sandy. For example, he wasn’t invited to speak at CPAC, a conference that typically features a who’s who in conservative politics. But the outspoken New Jerseyan waved off that cold reception, saying that Washington focuses too much on partisanship rather than on “getting the job done.”
