President Barack Obama got a lesson in football carnival games from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Tuesday afternoon as they toured the rebuilt Jersey Shore together.
Obama missed several attempts at throwing a football through a hoop -- the objective of the "Touchdown Fever" game. Christie stepped up to the quarterback position and scored on his first throw, winning a Chicago Bears-themed stuffed animal that he gave to the president.

The pair made the joint appearance to promote tourism on New Jersey's beaches, many of which are just about to reopen after being severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy.
Christie's next move? Either running for president or suiting up to help his favored New York Jets actually win some games this season.
