I disagree. I don't think today had much to do with politics. Millions of Americans were effected, and he wanted to show that the federal government would have their backs. President Obama and his administration have made many mistakes, but I don't think today was one of them. I'm glad he was visible and showing those people that they'll be taken care of.

I just wish he would be more visible and more of a leader when it comes to military matters and foreign affairs. I don't remember him ever having our backs besides the Afghan surge, just after he was elected.

No problem. I said I had never seen a president going into detail about all the services and help available to a particular state, in the manner in which Obama did in New Jersey, that's the governor's job. I've been around to see TV coverage of every big storm since hurricane Camille hit Biloxi Mississippi in 1969. And I've never seen anything remotely close. Have you ever seen a president speak for a governor in any capacity, during a catastrophy or otherwise?
