That's a ridiculously stoopid remark on a couple of levels. But, since you are a typical Tea Partay Parrotriot checkers player who showed up at a chess match, let me 'splain a couple of things to you, Lucille.....:
1. Noo Joisey is across the river from nasty, ol', liburral New York City, i.e. the heart of the Lamestream Media. Nevertheless, and jokes about Cow Jersey notwithstanding, if the President for Four More Years reneges on help over there, he'll be crucified because it will be seen as a regional affront that smacks of Shrub's abandonment of New Orleans after Katrina.
2. The President for Four More Years will delight in rubbing it in, all the while demonstrating what "Big Guvment" can do, so look for NJ to actually make out better than they probably should. You'll have to look for this because this will be done relatively quietly in order to shore up a Democratic rebound. Look for Fat Boy to soften his rhetoric a bit when it comes to criticizing the hand that is feeding his state.
3. Christie is popular in NJ because of what HE has done as well as how he has done it. Whiny-ass Tea Pukes who cannot influence local NJ politics will be told to pound sand. The Repubs will have to tack back to the center like in the '60s when they moved away from Goldwater and towards Tricky Dick or they will become the Whigs.
4. Christie finally got what he has wanted all along: Springsteen's acknowledgement that he exists. That's so sad on numerous levels.
Personally, I say, "Let's hear it for the Whigs!"
