Touring Rehab ,Obama Calls For 2nd. Chances After Prison-
Source: Yahoo news AP
OBAMA SPARS WITH CHRISTIE NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- President Barack Obama toured a drug rehab and met with former inmates Monday in the rough-and-tumble city of Newark, calling on the nation to ensure those regaining their freedom get a second chance instead of a return ticket to prison. Although his visit boosted his campaign for a criminal justice overhaul, it also pulled the president into a war of words with presidential candidate and GOP Gov. Chris Christie.
"There are people who have gone through tough times, they've made mistakes, but with a little bit of help, they can get on the right path," Obama said at Rutgers University's law school. "It's not too late."
On a gritty street in downtown Newark — a city beset by violent crime and policing challenges — Obama made an afternoon stop at Integrity House, a state-funded drug and residential treatment center. Obama held up the facility as "a model for the good work that's being done sporadically around the nation." He also met privately with former prisoners, a parole officer and a federal judge to hear more about obstacles to rehabilitation.
Aiming to divert some of Obama's limelight to himself, Christie spent the day in Camden, New Jersey, where he met with community and police leaders and touted the city as a national model for police reform. In 2013, the city disbanded its police force and replaced it with a county-run department. No longer bound by union contracts, the department has emphasized community policing, with more officers and improved community engagement.

as you can see on the face of it !
I went through great pains to slim fast because I know I can do gigantic things ,huge things in the range of political enormity.
I mean think about it ,the George Washington Bridge thing was huge, It was gigantic ,it was massive . And it won't go away .
I have gone through surgery , had some serious stiching done ,what I came out of it with is half a stomach. Imagine the weight of all those sutures . Right now my poll numbers are so low ,I got nothing to bargain with ,no chips to offer up,nothing to wheel and deal with. . Here's the thing, I still have a very powerful appetite, and I'll tell you this, it's tested ,I'm ready ,gobble gobble !
So same as the bridge thing ,I ain't going nowhere until I know I will get something out it. After all I did for it, it can't have been for nothing.
My name is Chris Christarini ,I am the governor of the state New Jersey and I am relevant ! And I have no intention of disappearing off into political obscurity.
There has been terrible nasty things put out there about me, rumor has it people of the state of New Jersey gave me away ,rumor has it they will prefer I stay out my state. The truth is the people of New Jersey all know I am a good person and they want me to run for another term . And that is no lie !

Chris Christie isn’t joining the GOP presidential candidates who’ve declared their collective demands to TV news networks for future debates.
“Stop complaining,” the New Jersey governor said on Monday about his competitors who co-signed a letter to news networks holding future presidential debates with a list of demands.
“Do me a favor, set up a stage, put podiums up there and let’s just go,” he continued.
Christie, along with Donald Trump, Ohio Governor John Kasich and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina declined to sign on to the letter.
