I would be seriously disappointed in anyone who would turn a natural disaster for ALL Americans into a political issue. When push comes to shove, in any tragedy, or looming disaster, it matters not whether you are a Republican, Democrat or some other political persuasion. We, as fellow Americans, have a duty to pray for each other in times of need and do our best to lend a helping hand. :)
Yet that is exactly what many in this thread have done.
