The federal and state responses from the 10 governors so far have been without complaint. What is yours?

Just keep believing that Obama, Christie and Bloomberg are doing a fantastic job because they are telling you that they are.

Hoboken yesterday afternoon was trying to use two town-owned payloaders, the only vehicles the town had to get through the high water, along narrow streets, to rescue 20,000 people. They had no expectation they would flood, nobody was evacuated. The call went out to National Guard for troops and vehicles, and they were flown in immediately last night.

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.

Yeah, I can take offense at your constant dissing of the President, even if you didn't ask. Get over yourself.

Enjoy your last 6 days in the Derby Trail politics section

Perhaps if the Gov and company had done their jobs properly it wouldnt be such a shock that a town ON THE WATER MIGHT FLOOD!!!!!

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

The same society who gives participation awards for playing, gives praise for people DOING THEIR JOB. And it is waaaay too soon to know its being done well.

They are across from Chelsea - yeah, they are not as low as the A, B or C NY city evacuation zones.

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.

whatever

so far they've been doing everything they can. Unless Christie bends over and starts chugging water.

The responses have been good.

They have been doing everything they can? You know this how? Perhaps this is true but you dont know anymore than what you are being told.

Christie is a very good politician. He started campaining for President as the Hurricane hit. Obama couldnt wait to get here for the photo op. Bloomburg is running a marathon on Sunday while hundreds of thousands in his city are without power and food.

The idea that they should get any credit is way premature as things can get very dicey especially since it is getting cold at night and there are a few million people w/o power.

Antitrust32 · #18 10-31-2012, 03:10 PM

what more would you like them to do.

its not like you can snap your fingers and have the whole mess fixed. the national guard is doing what they can, the funds were appropriated almost immediately.

come on now. a LOT more deaths could have occurred here. I mean, look at this devistation. a lot more.

hoovesupsideyourhead · #19 10-31-2012, 03:15 PM

yes the word got out and people did what they could .its far from over.politicly obama knew he had to have a 's' on his chest when it came to nj s christie. if he didnt christie would fry him..

Obama showing up isnt going to do anything but get attention for Obama but the President should make an appearance. Christie is going out of his way to praise Obama to show how bi-partisan he can be and how wonderful he handles a crisis. More or less he is using a disaster to promote his political virtues.

The correct response would have been "I have been in contact with the President and the Fed Gov't is committed to helping us in anyway that they can." Cristie has gone out of his way to praise Obama in a very public manner, on virtually every occasion that he gets his mug on TV.

We are about to get an Obama/Cristie press conference on tv. Of course the people who need the help wont be able to see it.
