Sandycare, how about we call Chris Christie flailing Sandy relief fund Sandycare. The Governor likes to trash the rollout of Obamacare as people try to get signed up. BUT as the Star-Ledger points out, Christie's rollout of Sandycare, getting the necessary help and processing the necessary forms for New Jersey storm victims has been just as abysmal as the initial rollout of Obamacare.
Of course Christie, who likes to bathe in the post-Sandy adulation of his initial efforts is so clearly dropping thew ball here and leaving helpless Garden Staters to fend for themselves. He doesn't want to hear about his failures either:
When a reporter tried to ask Gov. Chris Christie about this at a news conference Monday, the governor called Fair Share Housing a “hack group,” and said he wouldn’t respond to any questions about it — cutting off a follow-up inquiry.
“Just so it’s general notice to all of you, don’t ask me any questions about Fair Share Housing,” said Christie, declaring its team of lawyers not worth “my time or my breath.”
Never mind that this so-called “hack” group has been advocating for fair housing in New Jersey for almost 40 years, and just won three major court victories over the administration, this year alone.
Yep, the typical Christie, "talk bigger than you are and try and silence those who challenge you" attitude was on display. That attitude was great when you were fighting for New Jersey residents after the storm Guv, but now it comes off as crass stonewalling of your own people. Try standing up and being a man and dealing with the fact YOUR OFFICES have failed these storm victims WORSE than Obamacare's online startup hurt those looking for health care.
The Sandy follow-up from Chris Christie has become his "Sandycare moment.
