Galvanized Buckets
Billions of dollars have funneled from Super PACs into endless hours of political advertisements since the beginning of the Presidential campaign, yet Mother Nature delivered to the most telling of all messages about the philosophy of each candidate. The response to Hurricane Sandy clearly demonstrates each candidate’s position on the role of the federal government in our lives. Voters who want a glimpse of what to expect the next four years—help from their government or a private industry response—need only follow what has unfolded on the East Coast this week. Governor Christie, the man who would be running for President had he chosen to do so, was in North Wildwood on Saturday with the mayor at his side urging residents to evacuate. By the middle of the week, the governor and the President toured the disaster area along New Jersey’s barrier islands. The President was at the scene as the disaster unfolded and when the tour wrapped up Christie put politics aside and praised the President for his commitment and caring for the people of his state affected by the hurricane. The President and Christie demonstrated the type leadership that is lacking in Washington.
