During his remarks, Christie thanked Alec Baldwin for donating $250,000 to the Mill Creek Community Center in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.  
 
Christie joked, “I can’t believe I’m actually doing this… Thank you, Alec Baldwin.” The two have been quite vocal on their differing political opinions.

The Baldwins were both very involved in local Sandy relief efforts. Hilaria witnessed the devastation firsthand in Island Park and the The Rockaways, where she joined “Extra” in delivering much-needed supplies and goods.  
 
After seeing all the people in need, the couple decided to donate money from Alec's Capital One commercials to the community center.
 
Hilaria spoke backstage with Christie and thanked him for the shout-out to her husband. Watch the interview!

I agree with you, David. There is something about Christie that just isn't right. It's like a weakness, an integrity thing. When he kept protesting that he did not want to run for president and wanted to stay as governor, yes, maybe he did want to stay as governor, but I suspect that something he did in order to become governor is something that he does not want the world to know, and he figures that it would become public if he ran for higher office. Of course he had to thank Obama and Baldwin, but his whole scenario with Obama harmed the rest of the country, and Baldwin -- well, it depends on what he said and how he said it.

Can Hilaria pleassssse go away!!!! Your husband is all over Extra all the time,and it is so contrived and obvious that you are there because of that. You have NOOOOOO talent, and he is paying the entire world to make you look important. One of the many things he will have to do to keep a girl half his age content!!!! We are not stupid!!!

Gov. Christie has gotten a bad habbit of kissing up to the wrong people. You can thank someone without gushing as he does & as he did with Obama a week before the election. Before this I thought more of him as a possible candidate for higher office but I wouldn't support anyone like him for anything!!
