Christie: Obama a ‘feckless weakling’

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie called President Obama a “feckless weakling” at Tuesday night’s Republican presidential debate in Las Vegas.

Christie said that as president, he would shoot down a Russian plane if it breached a no-fly zone in Syria, and claimed Obama wasn’t strong enough to do the same.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) followed up by claiming Christie was a threat to start World War III.
