Snooki meets 'Jersey Shore' nemesis NJ Gov Chris Christie, 'he just doesn't like us'
Not friends: Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi went head to head with Governor Chris Christie on Friday at the reopening of the Seaside Heights' boardwalk following Superstorm Sandy

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was never a fan of MTV's "Jersey Shore," saying it unfairly cast the state in a negative light.

So when Nicole Polizzi, otherwise known as Snooki, got to meet the goveor Friday and shake his hand, their exchange was a bit awkward.

Christie and "Jersey Shore" cast members appeared separately on NBC's "Today" show during filming in Seaside Heights, N.J., to talk about the state's recovery from Superstorm Sandy. Seaside is where "Jersey Shore" was filmed.

In a later exchange captured on video by the Asbury Park Press (http://on.app.com/ZiTFCx ), an unsmiling Snooki told Christie that she hoped he would "start to like us."

Christie responded, "Well, we'll do our best."

After they parted ways, Snooki looked at the camera and said, "He just doesn't like us."

Stand off: Nicole tweeted that the politician told her the cast were bad for New Jersey's reputation

Move! The pair had just filmed separate segments on the Today show when backstage the 25-year-old stopped the Goveor to address why he has been critical in the past and can be heard in the video asking why he is standing so close to her
