STORY HIGHLIGHTS

(CNN) -- President Barack Obama on Monday reminisced of better times with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, his onetime hug-buddy turned Republican antagonist as the governor has turned his focus to an expected presidential bid.

The governor greeted Obama on the tarmac as he emerged from Air Force One for a visit to the state to speak to troops at New Jersey's Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. There, Obama recounted to the press his visit to the Jersey Shore with Christie last year to survey the Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts there.

"Christie and I went down to Asbury Park, spent some time on the boardwalk. We played a little Frog Bog. Chris' kids taught me how to hit the hammer to get those little frogs into the buckets," Obama recalled.

He admitted: "It was hard."

"And then Christie beat me at football toss, which really aggravated me," Obama said, remembering that Christie "bragged" about his win afterwards.

"Which is okay, but I will get a rematch at some point," Obama promised.
