Chris Christie Is An Angry Pot

I know Republicans are the masters of hypocrisy and gall, but it still amazes me that they can say stuff like this with a straight face:

“I have a message for you, Mr. President. This is the type of disoriented anger your cynicism and your division is causing in our country. Bring our country together — stop dividing it, Mr. President,” Christie shouted.

(…)

Obama, he said, has “decided on the most cynical reelection strategy you could ever think of.”

“He doesn’t care that you’re angry. He just wants you to get angry at somebody else,” he said. “The president’s encouraged these people to be angry at Mitt and be angry at me because we stand up for what we believe in. That’s wrong. That’s not America.”

I am far from being an Obama fan, but this is absurd.  He has bent over backwards to be conciliatory to Republicans for most of his presidency (which is precisely why I’m not a fan).  Cynically whipping up anger and division to win elections is what Republicans do, not Democrats.
