President Obama is going to show the country how a leader handles a crisis (Sandy)

[riderinthestorm]

I have absolute confidence that he is going to do EVERTHING that needs doing to handle the hurricane/storm fallout and make "heckuva job Brownie" and the rest of the Bush Admin hacks look like complete idiots in the face of adversity.

Can we have a vote of confidence in our President?

He has my vote.

1. I agree with you, and I don't believe that it has anything to do with this election

either. That's just the kind of person President Obama is, he cares!

[Swede Atlanta]

2. The President and his team will be prepared for this emergency and will execute with authority......

I have no doubts there will be hits and misses here and there but, overall, this President will do what is needed to ensure that millions of Americans are kept as safe as possible and, in the aftermath, get the help they deserve.

Robme, on the other hand, thinks it is "immoral" for the federal government to help people in need. What kind of sick fucked-up mind does he have? I swear if he isn't from the planet Kolob (oh wait, maybe he is) I'll eat my hat.

3. We are talking about

45 foot waves people. The smallness of Romney will be magnified by the stature of our President. America goes lock step in this sort of emergency, and they will support the President. Rally effects are involuntary.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) put aside his campaigning for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Sunday to praise President Barack Obama for his responsiveness to the Garden State's needs in preparing for Hurricane Sandy.

During a briefing with emergency personnel, residents and press, Christie thanked Obama for holding a conference call with him and governors of other states expected to be impacted by the storm, the Star-Ledger reports.

“I appreciated the president’s outreach today in making sure that we know he’s watching this and is concerned about the health and welfare and safety of the people of the state of New Jersey,” he said.

.............................

Christie also announced Sunday that he is asking Obama to issue a pre-landfall emergency declaration for New Jersey in order to expedite federal assistance for the state. A press release from Christie's office indicated that such a declaration would allow New Jersey to start requesting federal funds and other aid in advance of the storm. Obama issued a similar declaration for New York state.
