Sandy & The President

Posted by Tina

The AP reports: “Some of societys most vulnerable people – the elderly, the disabled and the chronically ill – have been pushed to the brink in the powerless, flood-ravaged neighborhoods struggling to recover from Superstorm Sandy. The storm didnt just knock out electricity and destroy property when it came ashore in places like the Far Rockaway section of Queens. It disrupted the fragile support networks that allowed the neighborhoods frailest residents to get by. Here, the catastrophe has closed pharmacies, kept home care aids from getting to elderly clients and made getting around in a wheelchair impossible.”

Daniel Halper of the Weekly Standard reports: “President Barack Obama is spending his first Saturday after winning reelection on the golf course. Todays outing is to the course on Andrews Air Force Base. “Motorcade arrived at Andrews Air Force Base at 11:01 am after an uneventful ride,” the pool report reads. “President Obama is playing golf with three White House aides: Eugene Kang, Joe Paulson and trip director Marvin Nicholson, according to a White House official. Pool is holding at the Andrews fast food court for the next few hours.”
