Christie does sort of look like a closet union-labor Democrat.

When it comes to being charitable with others money and redistributing resources there is noone better than Barry Hussein. This is not news...

Was Obama driving the food and water relief trucks?

Obama planned on letting our various federal agencies attend to the storm and he had planned to be attending a campaign event in Florida on Monday, he even flew into Florida Sunday night.

I don't know what people expect the president to do in times like these, he is pretty much irrelevant, because everyone involved knows their job and carries out their duties without guidance from the president.

Look we have 250 years of disaster history in this country. I am all for reducing FEMA's power and money funding. Send it to the states and let them prepare. For a Regional emergency such as this you could have a MUCH smaller coordinating branch of the Federal Government to handle release of federal funds and coordination with military.

Who do you think is gonna get the power back on in these states. Hint it aint FEMA and Obama. Same logic can be applied to food, shelter etc. etc. etc.

President Obama has acted this way in all of the natural disasters during his term..... This is NOT a one off.

Yep after everyone knew it was going to be a monster storm, Obama flew to florida late sunday night. Knowing it was a Vegas replay, his handlers got him back quickly monday morning. Regardless, it's all a show. "Any" president will do what they have to do and at least do it without injecting race baiting into it.

Talk about seeing the glass half full! Do you also complain about birthday presents given to you by your children?

This hurricane, and any response from Obama, will have zero bearing on the election! To even say/hope so shows a huge level of desperation from the left.

Obama should do his job in this case and make sure the states have what they need. This is no major accomplishment for Obama and should be par for the course for any President during such an event.

I know you lefties are hoping this will erase the economic mess Obama and his regime has made of the economy, along with the criminal mess he is in due to the Benghazi lies....but it WILL NOT! Sorry! BO will be held accountable for his mess and he will be leaving the White House real soon.

Why don't you listen to what Christie says and you might get your answer?
