New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie praised President Obama yesterday for the federal response to Hurricane Sandy — saying he’s “kept every promise he’s made.”
“I’d give the president high marks. Everything that we asked him to do he’s done, his administration has done,” Republican Christie (pictured) told WCBS Radio. “The president’s been a man of his word on this, and his administration followed through,” he added.
Christie’s praise came while the White House yesterday approved the governor’s plan to spend another $1.83 billion in federal aid to help recover from the devastation left in Sandy’s wake on Oct. 29.
Christie caught heat from Republicans for touring storm-damaged areas with Obama just days before last fall’s presidential election and praising his efforts. Christie supported GOP candidate Mitt Romney.
Christie said he would do it all over again.
“Your first job is to get the job done for the people who elected you and not to worry about politics,” he said.
