The Disaster is not limited to New York and New Jersey [View all]

I do not know why the President is only focusing on them. He should also be talking about WV, MD, VA, PA, OH, DE, NH. Three of which are swing states and have been affected by Sandy. I expect Mitt to attack Obama for not caring about them.
