But your right he will no matter what. I hope FEMA gets proactive and appears with supplies before this hits.

If you think about it, that puts Romney in a tough position. Does he keep campaigning those days? Wouldn't that look bad, if he did? And wouldn't Romney look especially bad if he criticized Obama about Sandy, if it was the case that Obama canceled his campaign events and Romney didn't?

Our investigation revealed that President Obama had advance knowledge of an impending attack by Hurricane Sandy and yet he did absolutely nothing to stop the hurricane.

You now they're already working it, especially since Obama canceled all campaign events to work the issue.

It's about TIME! It's not like he doesn't have a National Weather Service to tell him a week ago that Sandy was coming! He knew it was going to hit the Red States just before Mitt's supporters were to do their surge and voting on VOTING DAY!!

If Romney were in charge he would already have passed out umbrellas and galoshes. Now Obama is just going to take all the credit when it's the first responders in the RED STATES!!
