With poll numbers plunging, it is hardly surprising that Chris Christie would come out swinging in the aftermath of the French attacks and while his comments this morning during a Fox News interview are rather astonishingly frank, they are not entirely without merit as the Obama administration appears to tumble from pillar to post with regard foreign policy and specifically ISIS. Remarking on John Kerry's comment that the terror attacks in Paris lacked the "rationale" of the assault earlier this year on the staff of 'Charlie Hebdo', Chistie exclaimed the Secretary of State should "get some sleep and shut up," adding that President Obama "was living in a fantasy land" and should focus on protecting the U.S., not helping Syrian refugees.

As Bloomberg reports,
Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie said John Kerry needs to “get some sleep and shut up” after the U.S. secretary of state said there was a “rationale” for the January attacks at French newspaper Charlie Hebdo.
Kerry, at the U.S. Embassy in Paris on Tuesday, said last week’s terror attacks in the city were “absolutely indiscriminate,” unlike the assault on the staff of the satirical publication, which had frequently lampooned Islam.
“These are the kind of weak, mixed signals that this administration sends that helps to really, you know, make the American people think that there’s no one watching the store, and there isn’t,” Christie said Wednesday in an interview on Fox News.
The New Jersey governor said President Barack Obama’s focus should be on protecting the U.S. rather than on helping refugees from Syria, where Islamic State has made a base of operations. Obama “lives in a fantasy world,” Christie said.
Christie and John Kasich of Ohio, another presidential contender, were among more than 20 Republican governors calling for a crackdown on arrivals from Syria.
