He's pretty fat... maybe two bodyguards are indeed a requirement for him...
They bought 5 of those... you do the math...

One set of rules for the plutocrats, and another set of rules for everyone else, nothing to see here.
Mr Shared sacrifice sends his all his kids to private schools and is demanding $820 million in cuts to school aid statewide, but wastefully consumes state resources for personal/family errands - no wonder he's considered the Republican/bootlicker frontrunner.
Repug-candidate-employer obese Roger Ailes loves Christie, wants him to run for Pres.
An obese, en led, class warrior investment banker as President. UCA loves it.
so what is the threshold? So since it costs less, it's ok in your eyes...

Yeah, Obama did some of that shared sacrifice when he just took 500 to London with him
to visit the queen. All essential personnel.
"Here’s a story that seems to have slipped by the rest of the American media. It comes from the G-20 meetings in London a few weeks ago:
Obama arrived with 500 staff in tow, including 200 Secret Service agents, a team of six doctors, the White House chef and kitchen staff with the president’s own food and water.
And, according to the Evening Standard, he also came with “35 vehicles in all, four speech writers and 12 teleprompters.” For sure, our president is not going to be at a loss for words.
The press duly reported on Air Force One and all its bells and whistles but also on the presence of the presidential helicopter, Marine One, and a fleet of identical decoys to ferry him from Stansted airport to central London.
The article concluded with this note:
The president is en led to all the security, communications and support he feels necessary to do his job but surely, when we’re trying to project a more restrained, humble image to the world, the president’s huge retinue could be scaled back to something less than the triumphal march from “Aida.”"
Oh, well. Such is life in the fast lane.
Congratulations, x-ray. Like any true partisan hack, you tried to equate an international economic summit 3600 miles away from DC with a high school baseball game 50 miles from Trenton.
And like any true partisan hack, he posted from a blog called ihatethemedia.com.

Man, some nice display of partisan hackery in this thread.
There is zero justification for this type of spending baggery. Christie just cemented his place in the Flaming Hypocrites Club.
kool aid is kicking in
I don't get why every criticism of a Teabagger here is flipped on Obama. Obama is a piece of crap too, and there aren't too many people here on either side who like him.
This is a good distraction from gas prices, unemployment, and never-ending inflation.
What was the last thread you started, Darrin?This is a good distraction from gas prices, unemployment, and never-ending inflation.
This is a good (and by good, I mean pathetic) straw man/distraction from the OP.
WTF is up with the server?
*duplicate post*
It's good to know that you are not distracted..This is a good distraction from gas prices, unemployment, and never-ending inflation.
Hypocrites in government who preach discipline to all of us and then spend our money for their private use are a pretty major reason why we have such high gas prices, unemployment, rising food prices, etc.This is a good distraction from gas prices, unemployment, and never-ending inflation.
No blue team attack on a red team member can be left uncountered, or visa-versa. Failure to negate such an attack by identifying similar culpability on the other side would result in an imbalance of the internet.
Basically. Not to mention that if you have to bring up some Obama baggery as defense, you're basically telling us this guy is just as much of a .
He's a nut job.

One of the Twitter feeds I follow said that Christie ran for governor only so that he would never have to walk anywhere.
Gov. Christie Thinks A Family Making $6,000 A Year Is Too Rich To Qualify For Medicaid
Christie has proposed cutting Medicaid eligibility to absurdly low levels: from the current maximum income of $24,645 to $5,317 a year for a family of three. Apparently, the governor believes a family of three making $6,000 a year is simply too rich to receive Medicaid.
The New Jersey press has reported that the main effect of his proposal would be to slash help for the working poor, tearing a huge hole in the state’s social safety net:
Adults in a family of three that makes as little as $103 a week would earn too much to qualify for health care provided by Medicaid under a sharply curtailed program Gov. Chris Christie wants the federal government to approve this year, according to state officials and advocates briefed on the proposal.[...]
The Christie administration is expected to propose cutting the maximum income level of Medicaid from $24,645 to $5,317 a year for a family of three [...]
“That is about a third of the poverty level,” Castro said. “That means that an uninsured parent working full time at a minimum-wage job wouldn’t be eligible. … A parent who works half-time for minimum wage wouldn’t even qualify.
“Unfortunately, the only way these parents can become eligible for health coverage in the future is if the parent applies for and is eligible for welfare,” Castro added. “That sends the wrong message.”
Democratic lawmakers are furious that Christie is insisting on making $300 million in cuts on the backs of poor and disabled residents.

That's Wall St Christie's implementation of sharing the pain, Wall St ethics.
People are garbage, disposable.

So he bought a 12.5 zillion dollar helicopter for this trip? Interesting.
