Wrong! He's a POLITICIAN! Of course he's about politics. Get real.

Goodwill is a bankable asset. How beautiful is it that a Republican governor is praising a Democratic president one week out from the election?!?!?!?! That will work in ANY state.

What Obama isn't is a cheap one stunt pony. His expertise is wide. Bishop Willard, by comparison, is the same stunt repeated over and over, and has him looking the fool in new settings.

What Obama isn't is a fool.

He's doing whats right, and that's what comes natural to a decent person. Sure everything becomes political during an election season but I have no doubt that Obama is going out of his way because he believes in helping people and believes in a effective government.

didn't get it. I didn't pick up on it being a hug for one.
Don't mean to be ungrateful, it caught me just as I was being so impressed with Christie's honesty and I thought it was mocking him. Thanks for your contribution.
