Courtesy of The Obama Diary:
“I know that there’s been some talk about whether there’s going to be a slowdown in getting funding out here, emergency relief. As President of the United States, I want to make it very clear that we are going to meet our federal obligations – because we’re one country, and when one part of the country gets affected, whether it’s a tornado in Joplin, Missouri, or a hurricane that affects the Eastern Seaboard, then we come together as one country and we make sure that everybody gets the help that they need. And the last thing that the residents here of Paterson or the residents of Vermont or the residents of upstate New York need is Washington politics getting in the way of us making sure that we are doing what we can to help communities that have been badly affected.”
This is what a President, a good President, does.
He goes to where people are hurting and comforts them, promises to help them, and then he does exactly that.
Could ANYBODY imagine this man worrying about what is said about him on a blog?
There are just too many more important things for him to do.
