"Chris Christie is everything Obama is not" Jennifer Rubin

[Enrique]

her column "Christie's comeback", which celebrates his Fox News appearance, where he took a strong and very wrong stance, from which he was forced to retreat.

In tone and substance he was what President Obama is not — authoritative, proactive and empathetic toward ordinary citizens who should not have to worry each time one of these cases arises.

my comment at WashPost:

Christie is everything Obama is not: wrong about quarantining Kaci Hickox.

President Obama adopted the right policy without having to be sued to adopt it.

2. "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son."

3. Ordinarily I'm not fond of fat shaming

But this is funny.

[SomethingFishy]

9. Beat me to it...

Maybe we should nickname Christie "Flounder". Why? Why not!

[JaneyVee]

4. Large, white, and republican?

5. How about we put Jennifer Rubin in a tent with a porta potty

[Enrique]

7. that is a proactive, authoritative suggestion

[LeftInTX]

13. Exactly!

[FSogol]

6. Yup, Christie is foolhardy, transparent, knee-jerkish, arrogant, etc...

[Enrique]

10. he pressured Cuomo and Christie to let Kaci Hickox go

at the time of the Fox News interview, Christie was insisting on his wrong policy. This is what Jennifer Rubin is celebrating, Chris Christie being wrong, unlike Obama.

But by today, both Cuomo and Christie have come around to Obama's correct policy. Let's see if Rubin has anything to say about that.

11. You're seeing something that's not there

The poster was using right as in correct and never used the words right wing. Perhaps slow down and read more carefully before freaking out.

[Enrique]

12. that clears up that mystery

i was wondering why someone with an Obama avatar would object, in all caps no less, to what I posted.

[Fred Sanders]

14. Rubin is right, Christie is a liar and Obama is not. Witness his latest lying to cover up for his

lies about why he imprisoned a perfectly healthy nurse in a tent.

The RW has dedicated all its resources to keep Christie's Ebolagate imprisonment scandal from blowing up him and the entire anti-science, fear mongering GOP.

[seabeyond]

15. ya, christie is a lying opportunistic weasel. congrats.

[Prophet 451]

16. Rubin is right for the wrong reasons

Christie is, indeed, everything Obama is not: A power-mad bully championed by a supine media. He is stupid, crass, venal, thin-skinned and corporate to his very core.

What worries me is that I could have said the same of Reagan and he got two terms and hordes of worshipers (mark my words, they will be praying to him within thirty years).

[spanone]

17. yes, christie is a bullying dick and Obama is not.

oh yes ms rubin, you forgot to point out he was also WRONG.

Thanks Enrique

26. Wasn't it only recently that the right was claiming Putin is everything Obama is not?

How did that work out again?

Actually, Putin and Obama have more in common than do Christie and Obama. At the very least, both Putin and Obama are heads of state, not heads of A state.

[MFrohike]

27. True in one regard

Obama's not the one lashing out at David Sirota for exposing his pay to play system with the state's pension fund. When the sitting governor mentions the reporter by name in a press conference, you know it's not just bad, but worse than you thought.

[liberal N proud]

28. And that is NOT a good thing!
