As the summer tourism season gets underway, President Obama reunited with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie Tuesday to check in on the recovery effort along the Hurricane Sandy-ravaged shoreline.

While touring the famed Boardwalk, Obama and Christie played “Touchdown Fever,” an arcade game that involves throwing a football through a tire. According to the pool reporters, the president tried five times without success. But, Christie scored a touchdown in one shot, afterwards declaring “One and done!” Obama responded, “That’s ‘cause he’s running for office!”
