EARLY TURN - OUT

      SANDRA S.STORM: REGISTERED DEMOCRAT 

   When Super Storm Sandy turned out to cast her vote a week before the presidential election, she made an unusual change in her path, sharply veering left (both literally and figuratively) instead of making a typical right turn out to sea. That put her perpendicular to the most densely populated stretch of the Northeastern coastline. It was time for some blue states to feel nature's fury. New York and New Jersey were going to have to prove they were as tough as they always acted.

    A direct hit to the center of President Obama's base of support meant that he would finally get the chance to come to the rescue of storm victims who actually don't hate him. Usually, he winds up having to console southern Republicans after their houses blow away to Oz. Some of these same folks still think Obama is the Devil's son even after he helps them. This time, it was New Yorkers and New Jerseyans who earned the honor of a Presidential Hug. It's a hug that you talk about for the rest of your life; a moment of intimate contact with greatness that has the power to make you a little greater too. 

    The storm victims, however, were not the only ones who couldn't keep their hands off Obama. After an entire day of Chris Christie watching Obama interact with such tireless grace and gentle authority, and seeing the President's genuine care, the seriousness of his concern, the hugeness of his heart, and the power of his charm, the Republican Governor apparently was starting to feel the overwhelming need to hug the President too.

    It all started off cordially enough with a professional handshake and a walk to Mariner One with Christie keeping his hands in his pockets. 

 

They took to the air to discuss serious matters face-to-face and knee-to-knee (this was probably when the Cabin Steward slipped an ecstasy pill into Christie's beverage, which could be one of the explanations for the Governor's touchy-feeliness.) 

But by the end of the day it looked painful for them to separate.

    

                                   

       Look at this happy couple. You could easily mistake them for a well-mannered black nerd taking a fat white lesbian to The Prom where they were voted Prom King and Queen. Obama is smiling so hugely because he knows he just won the upcoming election. Christie is smiling because he just made Romney lose the election and positioned himself as the only Republican above politics who's word will never be doubted and who's character never questioned when he runs for the Presidency in 2016. Some believe that Christie Creme ruined his career, but they'll eventually have to admit what Rice Christie knows already, that there is now no Republican with a better chance of winning than him. 

     The bear-hug he gave Obama squeezed the breath out of every die-hard Republican in the country. The Romney camp went crazy over Christie committing the ultimate sacrilege.

              GOP accuses Christie of GOP

                      ( Gushing  Over  President )

   The praise that Christie, being a Republican, gave the President, a Democrat, is truly stunning considering how dysfunctional politics are in this country. One of the only things more stunning is the fact that it is stunning. It is also stunning that a hug is being called heresy by some people, and it is equally stunning that it is being called heroic by others. What is even more stunning is that it might very well make Chris Christie the 45th President of The United States. 

    Governor Christie somehow managed to make himself even bigger, so to speak, than the man he is, while at the same time making Mit Romney even smaller a man than he already was. Christie became even bigger than Sandy. With all the devastation and havoc she caused, Sandy was still only considered to be a Category-1 hurricane because of winds only 90 miles /hour. That's nothing compared to the speed the news of and the havoc caused by Chris Christie embracing President Obama with the first ever-recorded Category-5 bear-hug with repercussions that could be felt for years to come.

    It's commonly accepted knowledge that San Francisco is overdue for a major earthquake. If I survive it but have suffered sufficiently, I will be entitled to a Presidential Hug. I only want that hug to come from President Obama though, so the earthquake better happen within the next four years. If it doesn't happen by the start of 2017, it better not happen for a while.  I'd rather be crushed by a building than be crushed by a bear-hug from President Christie Creme.
