Chris Christie Calls The President the “Weakling in the White House” – Video

I remember the days when the office of the presidency was respected, and it didn’t matter who was occupying that office – whether he/she was a Democrat of Republican – Americans generally awarded some level of respect to that person.

Those days are long gone.

Since Republicans realized that disrespecting the president was the patriotic thing to do, and since the Republican politicians realized that their patriotic followers were all for disrespecting the president, they have fell over themselves trying to out disrespect each other. The Republican politician capable of hauling the most filth to the president get the most love from the patriots in the Republican party.

Speaking on Morning Joe this morning, Chris Christie, currently running for the same office he is disrespecting, chalked up some love from the people in his party when he called Obama the “weakling in the White House.”

According to Christie, the President of the United States is a “weakling” because he has not spent the lives of Americans and the military in another war, this time, a war with Russia.  Christie claimed that if he were president, the first thing he would do is implement a no-fly zone in Syria, and start a war with Russia if Putin disobeyed.

“And my first phone call would be to Vladimir,” Christie said. “And I’d say, ‘Listen, we’re enforcing this no-fly zone.  And I mean we’re enforcing it against anyone, including you. So don’t try me. Don’t try me. Because I’ll do it.”

Obama on Clinton’s Email Scandal – She Could Have Have Handled it Better

In an interview with CBS, President Obama concluded that his former Secretary of State and current leader in the Democratic run for president, Hillary Clinton, made a mistake when she decided to host her own private server for her private and government emails.

“I think she’d be the first to acknowledge that maybe she could have handled the original decision better and the disclosures more quickly,” Obama said.Republicans have used Hillary’s email decision as a political weapon to attack her.

Obama downplayed the threat to national security, and when it was pointed out that his administration has prosecuted people for having classified material on their private computers, the president said he didn’t get the impression there was an intent to “hide something or to squirrel away information.” He also said he was not initially aware of her use of the private email server.

There are still questions being raised about the security of that system. Former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden told Al Jazeera’s Mehdi Hasan recently that Clinton’s use of a private server was a “problem.”

Senate investigators recently discovered that Clinton’s private server was subjected to unspecified hacking attempts in 2013 from China, South Korea and Germany. The FBI is still examining her system, and that review could reveal evidence, if any, of unauthorized intrusions into her server or any attempts to siphon off her data.
