perhaps if the media was screaming about help for the people in NYC or Jersey and we had some hollywood types lambasting the president publicly Obamas approval would not be so high? Nah, no bias here......
its good to know Obama has it covered, maybe he'll recieve the national award of heroism for his efforts....
Garbage is piling up, a stench hangs in the air and mud-caked mattresses and couches line the streets. Residents are sifting through the remains of their homes, searching for anything that can be salvaged.

Good Post, Red Cross and National Guard is there, the area and the damage is so big, they can't be seen and everyone want to be helped at once.
Lets have it clear here, we talking about an area that has the equivalent of about 6-7 states population condensed in one small area,correct me total people affected 22 million jersey and NY combine?Just overwhelming for everyone downthere who is helping and those who got messed up by this storm.
