Calling Obama "a bystander in the Oval Office," the outspoken New Jersey governor said the White House spent the weekend tossing out a whole lot of "spin" about the supercommittee’s inability to come to an agreement before the Nov. 23 deadline.

"If he wanted to run for Senate again and just be 1 of a 100, I’m sure he could have gotten reelected over and over again in Illinois," he said. "He’s the one in Washington and he’s got to get something done here. And it’s not good enough just to say, "Well, I’ll get it done after the election."
