Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher Asks President Obama About Gov. Christie Rumors

Video
» 46 comments

With the “fall” of Texas Governor Rick Perry and the rise of Herman Cain, the bizarre side quest the media has undertaken of trying to convince New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to hop into the race has been at the forefront of many headlines. Naturally, what the ultimate opponent any of these candidate would face has to say on the matter is worth noting and, to that end, we sent out own White House Correspondent Tommy Christopher to ask President Obama just what he thinks about the rumored Christie run.

Fresh off Marine One, the President was cordial to the press as they awaited his descent and Christopher inquired as to the Christie rumors. The President then smiled and waved as he walked by. Eyewitness to the event, Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher adds his account to the event as the President enters the White House, stating that, in his opinion, “he heard me.”

Certainly, President Obama’s cheerful hello will only add yet another layer of intrigue to the neverending mystery that is whether or not Gov. Christie will hop into the race, particularly given the many mixed signals the governor has given himself.

    Is there a story here?

  • cdnhawk

    This is a story? Tommy asked Obama a question and he smiled and waved. Thanks. I really needed to know that.

  • Tx4Obama

    With the helicopter noise there is no way President Obama could have heard that question.

    It’s a thinly nuanced dig, Tommy needs a wake-up call.

    Ok, that was funny.

  • Texan

    LOL!

  • Michelle

    Enough with your pillow talk Tommy.  TMI

  • Texan

    So, you’re calling tc a liar?

  • Jayamerican1

    yeah…didn’t you read christophers extensive field report….”he heard me”. What a top notch journalist supplying extensive, in depth stories like these.

  • Texan

    Mediaites “white house corespondent” asks obama a question and obama smiles and walks away.

    WTF? Frances, you had to do a total facepalm when tommy told you to post this. Had to.

  • http://Mediaite.com Jon Nicosia

    Hey Texan!  When you get on the White House lawn and yell a question at POTUS, send it our way…

  • Texan

    I can guarantee you that if I did get on the white house lawn, yelled a question at the potus and he ignored me I wouldn’t be trying to make national news of it. Also, Chris Christie rumors would be the last thing I would ask a failing president about, too. Maybe the economy? That’s just me, though.

    Anything TommEE writes is pretty much lies.

    When you consider Tommy’s political persuasion, “confront” is probably an apt description of any meeting he has with Obama where he’s not wearing lingerie and kneepads.

    What is an *OUT own* White House Correspondent Frances?  But, in all seriousness, I expect the outline of the novel that Tommy can write about this momentous scoop to be released in mere days.  AmIRight?

    We’ll all sleep better knowing whatever this story is about is finally, confronted?

    Adjusted for doppler shift, I hope?

    Texan, you have a few commonsense points here that I won’t dispute.

  • Latin2

    Wishful thinking on his part.

  • Arkansas Steve

    Frances, kindly tell us what Tommy paid you to humiliate him by writing this story.
    I think there’s a name for this.  Saw it on Law & Order, SVU, but can’t remember it.
    Was it cash?  If so, how much?
    I’m sure it wasn’t, shall we say, lovin.
    You don’t look desperate, at all. (compliment)

    Well now that I’ve officially heard that the Pres heard Tommy’s insightful question and smiled, waved and nodded I can go to sleep and dream that the world is all fuzzy and safe while I doze.

    Thanks for making me smile as a toddle off.

    Hey Tommy…if you pay $38,000.00 grand, Obama will let you get a picture of you with him!
    So come! Be a part of history! Help Obama defeat the evil Republicans before they kill your family! (yeah I know that last bit was over the top, but is it really that far off from Obama and the Democrat’s message? no!)

  • Anonymous

    He waved at me (beaming).  He likes me, he really likes me!

    Instead of trying to portray this story as something newsworthy involving Christie, why not just write it up for what it is – that TC was exited to yell out a question to POTUS and giddy because Obama waved back at him…? 

    It seems more like a “young teen giddy to see her teen idol Justin Beiber!” story than anything to do with Gov. Christie….

    When can we expect some in-depth analysis of T.C.’s probing interview with King Obama ?

    This will be topic A on The Bill Press Show for the rest of the week .

  • TruDat

    Tommy immediately ran to a private area and masturbated.

    Really. No antichrist question? No “Is the GOP just being stubborn or are they traitors.”? No “I’d be honored to shine your shoes, sir.”?

    Slacker.

  • SILGARY

    He would have gotten  a response if Tommy had told him that his tee time is at nine and the clubs are all ready.

    This was when Tommy and Chris Matthews shared a tingle of the legs.They became brothers in the same herd of sheep.

    “Ohhh..He heard me!!!  I’ll never wash my ears again!!!”  Tommy Christopher squealed with delight…

    Let him jump in and ruin his chances in the future. Whats the rush? 

  • Anonymous

    Still trying to figure out how this is a story? Is there more to this that mistakenly got left out?
    Has ANY other media outlet commented on Obamas snub of Tommy?

  • Joseph Bernard

    Y’all don’t understand deadpan humor, do you? You wouldn’t BELIEVE how foolish you guys look right now.
