No problem that Obama visited the NJ shore with Christie at that time. As President, that's what he's supposed to do.

However, the completely unnecessary can't-keep-their-hands-off-each-other Buddy-Buddy tour occurred in May, after the shore was rebuilt -- and just in time for Christie's reelection campaign. And why did Obama publicly stiff Christie's Democratic challenger during that visit?

That's some serious Wall Street Democrat buttkissing on your part.
