Obama has had to pull away from the Campaign Trail

to help the people in need during this disaster on the east coast.
He has had to cancel his schedule for at least the next couple of days.
I remember Election 2008, he also had to take off a couple of days as he received word his grandma was dying.
I think Obama will be okay with the race while he is there for the people that need him most at this time.
I'm glad Bill Clinton is there to fill in.

...but he was campaigning in Ohio as usual today. In other words, he's lying, just like always.

Have surrogates hit R on everything from R's mormon tax breaks to R's Jeep Lie to R's stance on FEMA. Keep every scheduled speech (that's Sandy safe) and let 'em rip...

The guy who is suspending his campaign to help those who in a disaster or the jackass who is ignoring the victims and still campaigning.

President Obama is doing the right thing.
