President Obama gets sky-high marks for his response to Hurricane Sandy, which cut a brutal path along the country’s East Coast on Monday, according to the latest release of the Washington Post-ABC News tracking poll.

Nearly eight in 10 likely voters say the president has done an “excellent” or “good” job dealing with what’s been labeled a “super storm.” Almost as many give positive reviews to the federal government’s response generally. Even two-thirds of those who support Republican Mitt Romney in next week’s presidential election say Obama is doing well in this area.

5. That's President Obama's MO!

6. Yes, exactly!

He is doing, in a macro way, what he did when he was a community organizer, cutting red tape, stopping bureaucratic nonsense, getting the job done efficiently and effectively.

8. Hey, Spazito..thanks for bringing that community organizing thing of Pres Obama's

to Light!

10. Watching and reading what the President has been doing and how he's doing it, it struck me...

almost immediately how it really is what a good community organizer does and now he is the community organizer of the whole country and thank goodness he is!

The difference between what a vulture capitalist (Romney) would bring to the job of President and what a community organizer has brought could NOT be more stark, imo.
