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?

I haven't. But, the governor was right behind him, and he actually spoke first. I got the impression that the point of it was to make sure those effected would feel like the federal government and country had their backs. Sure, there is probably something political to it, but do we really expect there not to be in today's world? I don't. I just take it for what it's worth, which isn't much, and hope those people in Sandy's way feel like the government and country is behind them.
