Christie promises to let allies vent about Obama

Chris Christie says that if wins the White House he'll invite the leaders of six U.S. allies to "vent" about President Barack Obama.

The New Jersey governor says he'll invite the leaders of Israel, Mexico, Canada, Great Britain, France and Germany to Camp David for separate meetings during his first months in office.

He says the first hour of each visit would be spent "venting" about how Obama treated the nation's allies during his presidency.

Christie, like his fellow Republican presidential candidates, says Obama has hurt America's standing in the world and damaged its relationship with Israel.

Christie is one of nearly half a dozen GOP candidates fighting to emerge from New Hampshire's Feb. 9 primary as an establishment alternative to Donald Trump.
