You’re just seeing real life, people suffering. This was not scripted. No matter how many preparations, human effort is no match for a storm like this.
People along the Gulf Coast cried on Bush’s shoulders after Katrina, and he hugged and comforted them, too.
The people of New Jersey are hurting. Christie’s concern is appropriate, and he is doing his job to get what help he can for his state.
Sorry, what you are seeing is the political reaction of Christie instead of being a Governor. He is NOT the one to go one on one with the individual cases (sure does look good for politicians though), he needs to have an expansive outlook for the State and act as such - not on an individual basis.
For those that think this is appropriate, let’s send him around to everyone who is grieving and see how much time he has left to tend to the State’s problems!
It looks good and feels good but does nothing for the State in general. It’s political!
“Christie’s concern is appropriate”
It’s not his concern I’m concerned about.
“he is doing his job to get what help he can for his state”
But is his job to be Dr. Phil? Why? And why do we have to watch?
