Poor FOX News. The morning show tried to take some of the sting away from Chris Christie's praise of the President and it backfired. They asked him whether Romney would visit or call, seemingly opening the door for some kind words for the candidate Christie's endorsing, but Christie said he couldn't care less about presidential politics right now, showing a little indignation that in this time of crisis they would exploit his appearance to push their agenda.

By the way I was dumbfounded that Brownie would criticize the quick federal response to the emergency. This time around FEMA was prepared with a plan prior to Sandy's arrival, and the coordination among federal, state and local authorities has accellerated the help to those, who need it.

Christie and Obama are receiving just praise for their strong leadership. But make no mistake, the leadership doesn't start with showing up after the fact and surveying the damage, but it starts with having the organization and the proper people in the right roles. Unlike Bush, who viewed the position of FEMA Director as a politcal patronage position and filled it with an incompetent hack, Obama filled the position with the able and experienced Fugate.
