he knows every word to every springsteen song and dreams of playing drums in the e street band but springsteen ignores christie at shows because of a major difference in politics. so the governor of jersey gets snubbed and ignored by his own new jersey idol. but those days are over. governor christie took a call from president obama today and here s what he said happened on that call. he was calling from air force one and he told me that in times of real difficulty he thought that the only thing better than one jersey guy were two jersey guys and he put bruce springsteen on the phone. we had a good conversation today and it was great to talk to the president and even better to talk to bruce. wow. this friendship might last.
