Open Thread: Christie Says Obama's Faking It

January 9th, 2012 10:29 AM

Today's starter topic: Republican New Jersey governor Chris Christie made an interesting allegation against President Obama yesterday at a campaign rally in New Hampshire: that Obama is faking anger in order to get elected:

"He doesn’t do angry well. He understands that the American people are angry and they’re scared and they’re worried about the future. So he’s decided, in the most cynical reelection strategy that you could ever think of, that he doesn’t care if you’re angry, he just wants you to be angry at somebody else."

Is this perhaps the best distillation of Obama's divide and conquer strategy yet?
