5. For that matter, what was the question?

7. I'm not thinking about it. Right now I"m thinking about all of the americans, business,

transportation that will be impacted by this hurricane. The election will take care of itself next week.

3. Would be nice to actually know what was said. n/t

9. He is more concerned about people in danger, the first responders, property, transportation, etc.

The election will go forward next week. It's not a major concern of his, right now.

[Indpndnt]

4. His response was perfect and the question allowed that great response to be heard.

So I'm not going to complain.

6. The one told to ask that very question?

The Pres said election will take care of itself, he's more concerned about American lives than the election.

8. Actually, I'm glad that question was asked

People were wondering about it anyway and the question gave our President a chance to make his position very clear.

He is very presidential and I imagine people feel safer knowing he is at the helm during the storm.

10. WHAT QUESTION? WHAT ANSWER? ANYBODY?

I hate threads like this.

12. The question was ....

how will the storm affect the election? Obama answered, Right now I'm more worried about the families, first responders, ..... the election will take care of itself next week.

14. Thanks. I was starting to pull it together from the other posts but it's good to see it in one.

As it should have been in the OP. (Looking at you, mfcorey1!)

[reformist2]

15. Ditto. LOL

[trackfan]

11. n/t n/t

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Sounded like Bill Plante

from CBS. He just out Chuckied the Chuckie Toad. Dumb asses.

[Barack_America]

16. Obama was clearly expecting that question.

Weren't we all?

In any case, the President said that he's not concerned about the election, rather the Americans who are in Sandy's path and the nation's economy. He said, "the election can take care of itself" and expects no impact next week.
