Christie Blames Obama in Part for Mideast Unrest

Partly blaming unrest in the Middle East on President Barack Obama, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Saturday that Obama has not spoken firmly and forcefully on Israel's behalf and that the country no longer trusts it has the full support of the United States because of him.

The Republican governor's remarks came as Israel targeted civilian institutions with suspected ties to the militant organization Hamas and declared it would step up its bombardment of northern Gaza. Israel says it is acting in self-defense against Hamas rockets.

Christie cited the violence sparked by the deaths of three Israeli teenagers and said organizations like Hamas that are engaged in such conflict with Israel "need to be dealt with, and dealt with firmly." Obama has not done so during his presidency, Christie told reporters while attending a meeting of the National Governors Association.

"Israel is not sure that they have America's full support like they used to," Christie said. "And that's a real failure of this presidency, in my view. And I think the unrest you see in the Middle East is caused in some measure — not completely, but in some measure — by the fact that this president has not acted in a decisive, consistent way."

Christie, who leads the Republican Governors Association, is openly considering a 2016 presidential bid. While he has limited foreign policy experience, the two-term governor has been speaking more aggressively on international affairs in recent months.

Christie said Obama should be focused on trying to bring stability to the region "by having America be a forceful voice in favor of a democracy like Israel, and be condemning in the strongest terms and with actions the things that are being done by Hamas against Israel."

When asked, Christie declined to say whether Obama should take military action if necessary.

1. You know how people say

At some point you have to stop blaming your parents for how you behave as an adult?

It's like that.

Christie and his ilk will never get that concept. In the meantime while he is off running his mouth running for President - his people in NJ are suffering needlessly.

Worst Governor ever. His worthless statements about President Obama are indicative of his all around lack of worth.

2. Christie and world affairs, he is counting on not going to jail.

Just in case he will make a comment. Unlike domestic politics international thugs and bullies push back a lesson hopefully Christie will never learn.

3. Christie understands the power of the Israeli lobby and is playing on it to improve his position.

7. it's more about Sheldon Adelson than about Obama

we should expect Santorum, Huckabee and whoever else wants Adelson money to be piling on with the same views. Not Newt, because Adelson has already said going with Newt was a mistake.
