Timing Curious for Christie's Announcements

During the very same hour of President Obama's second inauguration, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is often mentioned as a potential 2016 Republican presidential contender, sent out two separate announcements.

The first from his gubernatorial campaign: "Governor Chris Christie will be visiting the Hilton Newark Airport on Tuesday morning to accept the second major endorsement of his campaign." (The campaign did not provide information about who will be endorsing him.)

The second statement commemorated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Christie, who praised President Obama's efforts in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, which devastated portions of coastal New Jersey, did not mention the president's inauguration.

"Dr. King was the paradigm of strength in triumphing over adversity and racial injustice to achieve what seemed impossible to so many for so long. His legacy stands as an eternal reminder of his sacrifice and the progress he achieved and which we are obliged to protect for every citizen of our state and nation. I join New Jerseyans in honoring Dr. King's life and work and his uncompromising commitment to peacefully working toward freedom and equality for all Americans," Christie said in the statement.
