New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) was willing to reach out to offer President Barack Obama congratulations after he won reelection in November, but after hearing the president’s second inaugural address this week, the governor says he has concerns about the next four years.

In a press release highlighting Clinton’s philanthropy through the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative — and as the U.N.
