Chris Christie is wrong on Obama and gay marriage
By Jonathan Capehart

Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) and I got into a rather animated discussion on “Morning Joe” today about the “courage” he displayed on the issue of same-sex marriage in New Jersey. You may recall that when the duly elected representatives of the people of the Garden State voted to approve marriage equality last week, Christie vetoed the bill and then said he would put the civil rights of gay men and lesbians up for a referendum. That’s not courage. That’s shameful.



<..> In short, the president is using whatever power he has to do right by gay men and lesbian couples who want to marry. Remember, this is a democracy, not a monarchy or a dictatorship, despite what you hear from some in the Republican Party. If Congress were to put the Feinstein bill on Obama’s desk he’d sign it. If only Christie had had the courage to show true leadership when a marriage-equality bill was sitting right in front of him last week.

Notice how Christie tries to talk over Capehart, and the snotty remark about not being questioned. This has gone viral, someone daring to stand up for the President over the loud mouth. Then Mika and Joe gang on him. Harold Ford....shut up.

I know Mav, but how can they love someone who is such an obnoxious blowhard? The man is disgusting.

Once again, Christie plays "Tough Guy" on the TV.

He'd last ten minutes on the street.
