It's pathetic that this kind of comments are coming from an user that was a Christie hack for a lot of time.
However, I'd like to notice that there are some photos with Bush and Obama together. Do you want me to post these photos?

I posted the photos for comedic purposes only, I really don't care if they posed for pictures together.

What I do care about, however, is reversing Barack Obama's failed policies. The fact is, be it expanding medicaid under Obamacare, record corporate welfare, throwing more money at expensive failing schools, and giving tax breaks for an off-shore wind farm, and skirting around pay-to-play laws, Chris Christie has copied some of Barack Obama's policies and therefore is not the right person to lead our country towards prosperity.

Okay, I'll bite. Why is expanding medicaid under ObamaCare a 'failed policy'?

What has happened is, fewer doctors are now accepting medicaid patients because the federal government will not cover the cost permanently, and the burden will now shift to state taxpayers to fund a federal law.

Specific to Gov. Christie and NJ:

Go home, you're drunk. What is wrong with giving people healthcare? Don't you realize how stupid it is to oppose making people healthier-Cuba ha a better healthcare system than the US-Cuba! So what if Obama gives tax cuts to the Wind companies-that's free market economics right? That's the republican way right? I'd rather he give a tax cut to a wind energy company, that doesn't pollute the air than giving it a fracking site that causes the water to catch on bloody fire. Literally, is it too much to ask for some smart attacks on Obama rather than attacking him for making people healthy

President Obama's health care law's intent is not to make people healthy, of course everyone wants to make people healthy. President Obama's health care law has reduced competition in the insurance market, hurt those on medicaid by reducing their choices, it's impact will cost state taxpayers billions, it has cut medicare advantage for the elderly who paid into the system their entire lives, it's employer mandates have cost jobs, caused companies not to expand, and workers have seen reduced hours, and 4.2 million Americans have lost health insurance because of this health care law.

There is no denying that our health care system was flawed, from a cost and coverage perspective, before Obamacare. What Obamacare has done is now caused this to be an even greater economic and fiscal issue.

Now, as far as energy is concerned, I'd rather not give special tax subsidies to anyone. You can argue the merits of wind energy vs. fracking all you want, I am against subsidies for both. Let markets work, that's how we grew the economy in the 1920s and 1980s-1990s, and it's how we can grow the economy again today.

I'm one of the few people that still think this, but I don't think its that far fetched that he could still make a comeback or at least become more of a factor than he is now. That's not very likely at the moment, but I could see him performing well in the debates and he's probably one of the better retail politicians in the field. That could be enough for a strong performance in NH, maybe even a victory there.

I don't see how Chris Christie can win New Hampshire. The establishment candidate generally does well there, and Christie is too liberal for even N.H. voters.

I'm not sure I'd agree with that. NH Republicans seems to be more moderate in comparison to their counterparts in Iowa and SC. Plus, independents can vote in the primary.

Of course, all this is moot unless Christie can manage to turns things around for himself. 

But don't you think Bush's ideology is more in line with New Hampshire than Christie? Mitt Romney defeated Jon Huntsman in New Hampshire in 2012, isn't it similar?

How is Christie liberal, at all?

New Jersey's credit rating has been downgraded 8 times, he's added billions in debt, corporate welfare is at a record high, New Jersey is now spending more on expensive failing schools in a small fraction of the total districts in the state, he's re-appointed liberal judges, and he supported using taxpayer dollars to give tax credits to a company to build a wind farm off the state's coast.
