"There is only one group to blame," Christie said. "The House Majority and John Boehner."
"Last night, the House Majority failed most the basic test of leadership and they did so with callous disregard to the people of my state," he said. "It was disappointing and disgusting to watch."
"Shame on you, shame on Congress."
"Our people were played last night as a pawn...and that's why people hate Washington, D.C.," Christie said later. "Last night, my party was responsible."
Asked who he thought was responsible on the holdup over Sandy aid, Christie did not mince words in laying the blame entirely on House Speaker Boehner.
"It was the Speaker's decision — his alone," Christie said, adding that he was given no explanation for the decision to pull the Sandy bill. He said that he tried to reach Boehner four times, but that the Speaker did not take his calls until this morning.
"I won't get into my conversation with [Boehner], but I will tell you there is no reason to believe anything they tell me."
Christie's remarks were the most powerful verbalization yet of the growing outrage over the House's decision to end the 112th Congress without passing a deal. New York Republican lawmakers have spent the past 24 hours railing against their own party's leadership. [left][color=rgb(0, 0, 0)]

John Boehner did an about-face Wednesday and promised quick action on $60 billion in Hurricane Sandy aid, after his abrupt decision to table the measure triggered a storm of outrage.
  Boehner’s reversal ended a day of anger and drama in which top Republicans from New York and New Jersey accused the speaker of betrayal — an extraordinary attack against their party’s most powerful figure.      His voice shaking, Rep. Pete King (R-L.I.) took to the House floor to denounce the withdrawal of the legislation as a "cruel knife in the back" to New York and New Jersey. [left][/left]

Yes SAndy victims need the money, but I wonder how much will really make its way to help the people?

$60 Billion is a lot of money...and so far no one is really helping...FEMA has one week's capital available. This is serious mismanagement.
