Well, no, you assume wrongly. I'm judging by comments from people affected on Twitter and Facebook. Social media gets you right to the sources more quickly.

This is a huge tragedy/disaster, and yeah, so far so good. Proud of Christie and the other govs for being proactive. Nobody is saying there are not people without water, food, etc.today - but they are just wrapping up search and rescue.

Obama got a free sandwich from the Red Cross and said it was great.

Total loss at $50 Billion is nothing.

The U.S. taxpayer is down that just with the GM stock we're still waiting to go up.

Pretty outstanding response. You and Hooves can keep dissing it, and politicizing it with your typical targets of dislike and pettiness, but that seems pretty wrong and unfair. You guys go ahead and bitch and moan without me. It's completely absurd. I'll wait until tomorrow, when you two are angry that the subways are not drained and all the power isn't back on yet. Good grief.

I didnt dismiss anything just pointed out that it was a little too early to be handing out plaudits to the 3 politicians named.

And it's a little too early to not applaud the good work they have already done. But good luck with that. You let us know when it's okay for some of us to say "thanks" for what they have done for the victims. Oh, wait - nobody cares.
