On Wednesday, President Barack Obama flew to Atlantic City to meet with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie so that they could, together, survey the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. The two pols went on a helicopter ride, posed for pictures and held hands. Basically, they did everything that makes single people want to barf. The Daily News even featured them on Thursday’s cover.
