New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) says everyone should stop talking so much about the 2016 presidential race, because doing so hurts President Obama at the beginning of his second term.

“In this sense, I feel badly for President Obama. He just won a year ago, and everybody’s like, ‘So, who’s next?'” Christie said Monday night at the Wall Street Journal CEO Council. “There is work to be done in this country. And as we shove him out the door, we minimize his ability to be an effective executive. And we shouldn’t do that.”
