>> Watch a real president deal with a disaster. More of a "mini-disaster" by Katrina & 9/11 standards. Recap of remarks with no substantive comment missing. Let me be sure acknowledge all the politicians here. Let's get that out of the way. Then, let me thank the first responders (after all, they do all the work). And our hearts go out to the people who lost loved ones. We're from the government and we're here to help. We're concerned about four states -- NJ, NY, CT, and WV. We did the same things Bush did before Katrina. We are making sure FEMA is going out and talking to people. People can register for emergency assistance. No problem. Just use your cell phone (not working) or Internet (not working). Our biggest priority is getting power turned on (which the electric utilities we have nothing to do with are handling). I talked to the CEOs of the utilities from all across the country (they, of course, had already sent crews to the area before the storm, but we had nothing to do with that). We can get C130s to move "assets", but none have done anything yet. We have a Navy ship. But it isn't doing anything yet because we haven't identified anything to use them for yet. And we want to make sure people can get to work. We talked about that but havent' done anything about it yet. And the sooner we get kids back into school, the better. We have a lot of work to do. We want to make sure people have realistic expectations. We will not quit 'til this is done. I've given orders to not have red tape. I've told my people to return phone calls. I've talked to some young people who are helping out. We go through tough times but we bounce back and "we don't leave anybody behind" (WHAT A FUCKING JOKE). Okay, so, for this, we're paying $400K/year?
