Does Obama Hate New Yorkers?

[RIJIMMY]

Nearly eight in 10 likely voters say the president has done an “excellent” or “good” job dealing with what’s been labeled a “super storm.” Almost as many give positive reviews to the federal government’s response generally. Even two-thirds of those who support Republican Mitt Romney in next week’s presidential election say Obama is doing well in this area.

perhaps if the media was screaming about help for the people in NYC or Jersey and we had some hollywood types lambasting the president publicly Obamas approval would not be so high? Nah, no bias here......

its good to know Obama has it covered, maybe he'll recieve the national award of heroism for his efforts....

Garbage is piling up, a stench hangs in the air and mud-caked mattresses and couches line the streets. Residents are sifting through the remains of their homes, searching for anything that can be salvaged.

"We have hundreds of people in shelters," said James Molinaro, the borough's president. "Many of them, when the shelters close, have nowhere to go because their homes are destroyed. These are not homeless people. They're homeless now."

Molinaro complained the American Red Cross "is nowhere to be found" — and some residents questioned what they called the lack of a response by government disaster relief

Back in Irene i was without power for 2 days and the October freeze for 10 days. never complaint,i was prepared,had plenty of firewood and plenty of food to get around.no gas stations were open either.we just had to wait no matter what,we did patiently and we were back on track.Yes there were times that we get desperate and so forth,but what can we do?basically nothing.
Chris Christie told everyone to get out and if you stay is on you".
Not sure the future of jersey which is a place i truly love to visit and hang around, it will take quite a while to get back on track.
But for goodness sake,if you see a train coming,get out of the way.

Good Post, Red Cross and National Guard is there, the area and the damage is so big, they can't be seen and everyone want to be helped at once.
Lets have it clear here, we talking about an area that has the equivalent of about 6-7 states population condensed in one small area,correct me total people affected 22 million jersey and NY combine?Just overwhelming for everyone downthere who is helping and those who got messed up by this storm.

Agree. The impact is so massive. There are people in Cleveland still without power. Most of the grid workers in that area were proactivly sent East prior to the storm to help. Hard to play Monday morning quarterback with the scope of this magnitude.

Ask the same people again tomorrow and see what they say, it will be a different story, trust me.
No gas for upto 60 miles away to run generators etc.
Obama pulls the same stuff, spends a few hours in Brigantine NJ
promises the world then pulls a Bengazi, off to campaighing. Talk about
BS 'rs.

Bloomberg is worried about running the Marathon on Sunday. WTH
He should cancel it and ask the in shape runners to volunteer and go
help out in the neighborhoods. Politicians all the same, they all need to
be fired or be judged on their performance before recieveing their pay.

According to some reports I've read and heard on talk radio that past 2days utility trucks from some southern states went north to NY & NJ only to be turned away and told their help was not wanted.
I thought Obama said he was cutting all the red tape to get relief & help.
Well guess what, those southern utility companies are NON Union !
So much for cutting the red tape !
You ask me another 4 days of this and those typical democratic states will turn on Obama or not not care about getting to the polls.
How they going to get there to vote with no gas for their cars or no trains running ?

If this turns out to be true, it's a complete disgrace and the Union making that call should be ashamed of themselves

Trucks from Alabama for one.
Google it.
I think even the local channels are covering it.
