As I understand it, the governor definitely has to ask for FEMA help. He needs to do that if he hasn't already.
However--the Obammy could certainly visit the area, survey the damage and the lingering bad conditions, and offer the governor his support--and he might even say a word or two to the suffering people of the state.
Actually, I'm sort of surprised Obammy hasn't made a big deal photo op our of this---showing up, talking to victims, telling them he feels their pain!
Of course the Obammy doesn't like the temperature to be below about 76, I hear. Maybe that's what's keeping him away.
If FEMA wantd to be there at the nursing homes without power, they’d be there.
We’re 5 days and counting.
It’s dem governor. You can bet that if he has asked FEMA for help we will never hear about it. Wouldn’t do to upset the One.
