Obama congratulates Republican Christie in phone call

[Ichingcarpenter]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama congratulated New Jersey's Republican governor, Chris Christie, on Wednesday on his landslide re-election victory.

White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters on an Air Force One flight carrying Obama to Dallas that Obama and Christie had spoken by phone a day after Christie's victory.

Christie, a moderate and potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate, defeated Democrat Barbara Buono, who did not get much help from Obama in her uphill battle to defeat the Republican.

1. Bahahahaha! Now he's just fucking with angry liberals

Too funny. This will endear Christie to the Krazy Krowd of the Tea Party.

2. Yeah, who the fuck *else* are they going to vote for, right?

8. Disgusting. I am very disappointed in Obama.

Christie insults teachers and is a mean man. Obama should not reward Christie for his bullying behavior. Obama would not like it if the governor of Hawaii or Illinois spoke to Michelle Obama the way that Christie has spoken to a couple of women in random moments in public.

This is a disgrace.

Christie has a problem with showing respect for women. Obama should not reward Christie for that kind of behavior.

11. He yells at men the same way

Therefore he is a huge supporter of equality, right?

Seriously though, he's famous for yelling at and being disrespectful to everybody.

9. This is Nth-Dimensional Vulcan-Hyper chess folks

Mere mortals cannot comprehend this.

Think about it.

10. In doing so, the hard-line right weirdos will see it as more proof Christie is a RINO

If anything, the supposed "friendship" will help to destroy Christie during any 2016 primary. Wait and see.

12. That should endear Christie to the RW baggers

GObama!
