President Obama’s political advantage: Romney surrogate New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie praises President Obama and FEMA for their response to Hurricane Sandy, as “outstanding” but cautioned that the recovery would be a prolonged effort. Yeah, he put partisan politics aside. Gov. Christie said President Obama moved quickly to help designate his state as a disaster area to better expedite federal assistance. That would be the same FEMA Mitt Romney wants to see abolished though he’s singing a new tune.
This is the message that could be left for undecided voters that President Obama won’t allow a disaster to mirror the mess that unfolded under the Bush administration when Hurricane Katrina struck. It also shows that President Obama performs extremely well under pressure and handles national tragedies with great skill. You see, Mitt Romney has to walk a fine line because he’s only a candidate but President Obama is the leader and gets to call the shots. That’s the political advantage for the Democrats. Now, I am sure, once things stabilize, we will see the President on the ground in the hardest hit areas on the East Coast. Anything Mitt Romney does can be viewed as self-serving and trying to score political points. Like I said, political advantage Barack Obama.

“The federal government’s response has been great. I was on the phone at midnight again last night with the president, personally, he has expedited the designation of New Jersey as a major disaster area,” said Christie, in an interview with NBC’s “Today.”
“Last night, I was on the phone with FEMA at 2 a.m. this morning to answer the questions they needed answered to get that designation and the president has been outstanding in this. The folks at FEMA, [Administrator] Craig Fugate and his folks have been excellent,” he continued.
In a separate interview with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Christie added to the praise, saying that “the president has been all over this and deserves great credit.”
