Vice President Joe Biden visited Seaside Heights today to view damage caused by Hurricane Sandy - saying "this is a national responsibility" - according to the Associated Press.
“We have an awful lot of work to do,” AP quoted Biden as saying. He added, “This is going to be a long process. This is going to be an expensive process."
Chairman of the candidate screening committee for the Ocean County Democrats Kevin Barron discussed Biden's visit with Patch today.
"We heard some saying, [when President Obama] visited, that he was only here because he was campaigning. But here [Biden] is after the election is over. This proves those critics wrong," Barron said. "The President and Vice President are still spending that time here in New Jersey, and really do care about the residents of this state."
Biden also is scheduled to tour Hoboken today, according to the AP. A spokesman for the New Jersey State Police would only confirm for Patch that they were working with the Secret Service to "supplement and assist them" with Biden's visit today, but would not reveal specific details regarding his schedule.
President Obama visited storm-wrecked Atlantic City with Christie before the election. Two Obama Cabinet officers toured a Federal Emergency Management Agency facility in Middletown on Friday, according to the AP.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan acknowledged in their visit that it could take years to rebuild some areas wrecked by the superstorm, which killed more than 100 people in 10 states but hit New Jersey and New York the hardest, according to the AP.

Maybe we shoud sit down with SNOOP DOG and OJ SIMPSON too? Maybe we should start listening to Obama's reverend of 20 years... Reverend Wright? Since whites are evil.
And, don't you think priority should be given to the people whose primary residence was damaged. The people who own vacation homes still have a place to live.

Man-made disasters like Obama suck, like his disasterous reign over the economic recovery including the stock market approaching near record highs, the import/export ratio flipping in our favor, manufacturing jobs coming back, the addition of millions of private sector jobs, restoration of our legitmate role of leader of the world, that the military flag officers quitetly agree that O is the best C-in-Chief since Eisenhower, blah blah blah - it all sucks, and lefty kool-aid talking points that happen to reflect reality suck too becasue reality sucks...losing sucks, and so does winning when the losers suck, and saying O will take away out guns sucks when he doesn't do a thing about guns, which really sucks, and socialism sucks especially the imaginary kind that never happened under Obama, but the real kind does not suck like hte military and SSI and medicare, and thinkin and facts and reason and pragmatism and making things better really really suck if one party benefits politically and, well, everything sorta sucks.
