EAST BRUNSWICK Former Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney drew a sharp contrast between New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and President Barack Obama at a fundraiser Wednesday night in honor of Christie's 52nd birthday.
Speaking on stage in a hotel ballroom, Romney derided Obama as someone who has failed to take decisive action because he doesn't know what needs to be done.
Romney pointed to the rise of Islamic militants in the Middle East, saying the president should have supported moderates in Syria years ago. At home, he said, Obama was failing when it came to improving schools and attracting the best and the brightest, among a list of criticisms.
"These things aren't happening under the president because he doesn't quite know what to do. And I've gotta tell ya," said Romney, turning his attention to Christie, "I am proud to be on the stage with a man who knows what to do, who works hard for the people of New Jersey."

Six down grades and how many investigations? Christie's ego is as large as his girth. Romney and the t-folk want cuts and then complain about the schools!!! Hey guys, you are living in a bubble! Unfortunately some of the rest of us are stuck in there with you, argh.

If this is what the "moderate" wing of the Republican Party has to offer up - they are far more fucked up than I had imagined. So the brightest lights the GOP has to offer America are Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and Paul Ryan? Unbelievable.
