Hoboken is in New Jersey. MrSlayer Oct 2012 #5

I mentioned Hoboken because she did a segment on that particular city in mfcorey1 Oct 2012 #10

Ok. Then what could her complaint be? MrSlayer Oct 2012 #13

She said something akin to "He will be making an appearance for what is essentially a photo-op." Indpndnt Oct 2012 #16

I thought Obama will be meeting with Christie, reviewing the disaster areas, and offering help. Indpndnt Oct 2012 #48

She didn't say it in a nasty way, though. It's part of the job, and pretty much is a photo-op. gkhouston Oct 2012 #46

I agree, she didn't appear to be dismissive, but like I said, it was startling and out of place. Indpndnt Oct 2012 #49

No. She just recognizes that there's a need there. She doesn't expect him to rescue people. nolabear Oct 2012 #6

Hoboken is in NJ. LisaL Oct 2012 #9

Well aware of that. mfcorey1 Oct 2012 #11

Then why shouldn't Obama go to NJ? LisaL Oct 2012 #12
