New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie sat down with NBC's Brian Williams for an interview to air on Thursday's NBC Nightly News.

As you can see in the clip below, Christie, a Republican, said he was disappointed that Obama has been "incredibly partisan." As Christie said,

"When you're president, your obligation -- I think -- is to set the tone and to embarrass the others into changing theirs. And I've been disappointed in the real partisan tone the president has taken, both in terms of his policies and in terms of his rhetoric. And now, he seems kind of angry about things when I see him out on the campaign trail. And I don't think that President Obama does angry well. I don't think that suits him well...

... I think [Obama] promised to be something very different. He promised to be post partisan. And he really hasn't been."

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
