entirely satisfied with how his recovery is going for new jersey. take a listen. it took 92 days for the federal government to act on aid to sandy victims. that compares to ten days for hurricane katrina and 17 days for hurricane gustav. i told people it was going to add things to the back ending. here s what it caused. no federal money started to flow here until the end of may. sir, do you support what chris christie is saying here, that this response was too slow and congress bears some of the blame for that pace? absolutely. congress bears a large amount of the blame. it was absolutely disgraceful that we had to wait over three months to get the aid every other region in the country got within ten days or two weeks. this was wrong. it compounded the problems we had and we had to go through the entire winter with virtually for federal aid coming in. adds governor christie said, it was nearly may by the time the process was completed. then there was so much devastation, so much
kind of business, but hey, me over here, we need that. republican congressman bill flores of texas, ted cruz of texas, they both voted against federal aid for sandy victims. three months later when a fertilizer explosion levelled west texas, those same two asked for federal aid. james inhoff of oklahoma voted to block federal aid for victims of hurricane sandy, then when tornados ripped through moore, oklahoma, senator inhoff asked for that aid for residents in his own state. he said it was quote, totally different. it takes a particular galling sort of hypocrisy to talk that way and more importantly, to vote that way in congress when you are sent there to work for the good of the people. what you do in congress may seem it s theory or idea logical expression or just something
republican congressman bill flores of texas, ted cruz of texas, they both voted against federal aid for sandy victims. three months later when a fertilizer explosion levelled west texas, those same two asked for federal aid. james inhoff of oklahoma voted to block federal aid for victims of hurricane sandy, then when tornados ripped through moore, oklahoma, senator inhoff asked for that aid for residents in his own state. he said it was quote, totally different. than him traoeulg trying to block relief from sandy. it takes a particular galling sort of hypocrisy to talk that way and more importantly, to vote that way in congress when you are sent there to work for the good of the people. what you do in congress may seem it s theory or idealogical expression or just something people get to talk about on cable news and then clip up and turn into attack ads, but your
think touchdown five, throw a football through a tire. and the president threw five times, got zero for five. chris christie, the governor, got it through in his first toss, won a stuffed bear, gave it to the president. how than for the political bromance? nice, nice! two for christie, zero for the president. they have to play another match. thanks, jess. we ll be back to you as the president starts to speak. the red cross raised $303 million, for the victims of superstorm sandy. seven months later 110 million still unspent. that is because the red cross says it is holding on to money to deal with unforeseen needs of sandy victims. but there are critics, however, who say there is really plenty of need for that money right now. you might remember the red cross changed how it raises money. it no longer pools the money that it raises. it keeps different relief funds separate. and they were supposed to be
number of days to try and resolve any of this. well, thank you so much. thanks for the prayers and the first responders in a time like this. honestly, you re lucky to be an american because the sources for the federal government were there for you just as they were for sandy victims, and ckatrina and oklahoma city bombing vic m victims. you do have our thoughts and our prayers tonight and our very best wishes. thank you. when we come back shlgs i want to go back to the elementary school in oklahoma where the dramatic search continues. for heartburn? yeah. try new alka seltzer fruit chews. they work fast on heartburn and taste awesome. these are good. told ya! i m feeling better already.
