^ And Obama isn't playing politics by taking advantage of the photo ops?

Of course he is. Name me one other time in history that the president of the United States ever elbowed the governor of a state stricken by some disaster out of the way, going center stage, thusly usurping the office of governor, I mean, the president talking about governor stuff? It's 100% politics, even the flood waters cannot dilute that fact. The people need the help and there has been tremendous loss to New Jersey and the other states involved. So, let him go for it, but don't try to say it isn't political. Bloomberg certainly blew Obama off, if Christie had told O to go fly a kite, New Jersey wouldn't have been denied the first dime's worth of help.
