White House press secretary Jay Carney says Obama will meet with affected families, local officials and first responders who have been dealing with the major storm. New York officials estimate damage from Sandy could total $33 billion in the state.
Sandy rattled parts of New York City and New Jersey with a storm surge reaching 14 feet, killing more than 100 people and leaving millions without power.
Obama traveled to the New Jersey coastline on Oct. 31 to meet with Gov. Chris Christie and view recovery efforts in coastal communities.
Stay in Washington, just send some money. We desperately need it! (money not traffic)

Has anyone checked on the status of the damage-rebuilding from Katrina? It’s more than 5 years and they’re still not rebuilt. Don’t expect any better in NY/NJ. Federal Government ain’t sending cash to homeowners to rebuild as was before the storm. They do offer some grants that pay “something” but you have to have the cash to lay out. So most homeowners simply walk away from the mortgage.
I hope that when our President comes to NYC this week, that the New Yorkers are respectful to him, and don’t act in the same despicable manner as they did, when Bloomberg visited Manhattan Beach.
