I remember the hugging and mugging for the camera but I'm drawing a blank on what President Obama did for the Sandy victims. Tell me.
The Republican Governor of NJ surely knows all the specifics and has stated this:
"Obama 'provided help to my people at one of the worst crises that this state has ever faced,' Christie added.
'When somebody does a good job, they deserve credit. Anybody who is upset in the Republican Party about this, they haven't been to New Jersey. Come see the destruction, come see the loss.'

Good enough for you? Or do you now consider Christie a traitor too?
Republicans think that anyone who praises what Obama has done to be traitorous, that is how much they hate him. It is really childish if you think about it.
I think he did what every President is expected to do. Make a "show up" visit to make the victims feel that they are being looked out for, get together with the local authorities (he did that with Christie) and get briefed on a full assessment of the local damage, and then provide authorization to FEMA to assist with the recovery efforts.
Pray tell, what did you THINK he should do that a President is supposed to do?
Christine, we will see how well the authorities look after their own in the near future here. There is supposed to be a Noreaster coming that way to add to the miserable situation already at hand.
I am a bit concerned with possible freezing temps coupled with possible snow, there could be a human disaster again.
I am hoping that before the severe weather strikes, that someone is doing something about people who lost their homes and people without electric or heat.

Besides signing blank checks for taxpayer funded aid, there really is nothing any president can do. Well, they can get federal agencies to relax certain regulations and wave some laws, but beyond that, they really can't do anything.

Christie's not my Governor. Idiot Cuomo is NY's Governor. Why doesn't he order odd/even fill up for gas stations like Christie did? You should see the gas lines around me! I can't even go to the doctor because I am down to 1/4 of a tank and can't risk being left on empty with the Nor'Easter approaching. It is absolute insanity that in one of the wealthiest sections of this country that people can't put gas in their cars for a week now!

It was you two fools who started yelling "traitor" and going off the deep end.
