Chris Christie Called Obama To Congratulate Him, Offered Mitt Romney Condolences Over Email

[appleannie1]

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) told reporters Thursday he reached out to President Barack Obama with a personal phone call to congratulate him on his reelection. Mitt Romney, the man Christie had campaigned with and raised money for, got a conciliatory email, the governor said.

“We didn’t have a political strategy discussion," Christie said of his Wednesday phone chat with Obama, Bloomberg reports. "I said, 'Congratulations on your win last night, Mr. President,' and he said, 'Thank you.'"

Asked if he'd given Romney the same treatment, Christie said that he hadn't.

“No; we exchanged e-mails last night,” Christie said, according to Bloomberg. “We haven’t spoken on the phone yet.”

1. There's a reason why Christie, during the GOP convention, was talking about himself and not Rmoney.

3. He didn't want the lingering stench of defeat on him when he runs in 2016.

2. Christie is a closet Democrat...

I bet he voted for Obama. But, we will likely never get confirmation on that. But, I do know this. The GOP twisted Christie's arm to say something nice about Romney after he was working with Obama in storm relief efforts and praised Obama for what he did. I don't think Christie is the guy you want to arm twist, just sayin.

5. Give him another chat with Bruce Springsteen

and Christie will be ours.

7. Ha! Christie wants to be pals with all of the Democrats and their cool friends.

But he is far from a Democrat, himself. Just ask any public school teacher in Jersey.

4. The thing is, he still voted for Rmoney

But maybe one day he'll wake up and SEE that we're not a bunch of hateful, angry kooks-- THEY are. Oh, the irony.

6. IIRC, when Romney decided to pass over Christie in favor of Ryan for his VP pick,

Romney didn't even have the decency to tell him himself, but farmed the task out to one of his sons.
