“I spoke to the president three times yesterday,” [New Jersey's Republican Governor Chris Christie] explained. “He called me for the last time at midnight last night asking what he could do. I said, if you can expedite designating New Jersey as a major disaster area that that would help us to get federal money and resources in here as quickly as possible to help clean up the damage here.”
“The president was great last night,” Christie continued. “He said he would get it done. At 2 a.m., I got a call from FEMA to answer a couple of final questions and then he signed the declaration this morning. So I have to give the president great credit. He’s been on the phone with me three times in the last 24 hours. He’s been very attentive, and anything that I’ve asked for, he’s gotten to me. So, I thank the president publicly for that. He’s done — as far as I’m concerned — a great job for New Jersey.”

And, furthermore...
“Over the last couple of months, you have appeared throughout the country, Governor, on behalf of Mitt Romney,” [Fox News co-host Steve] Doocy remarked to Christie. “[W]e hear that perhaps Mr. Romney may do some storm-related events. Is there any possibility that Gov. Romney may go to New Jersey to tour some of the damage with you?”
“I have no idea, nor am I the least bit concerned or interested,” Christie replied.

“I have a job to do,” he added. “I’ve got 2.4 million people out of power, I’ve got devastation on the shore, I’ve got floods in the northern part of my state. If you think right now I give a damn about presidential politics then you don’t know me.”

"Storm-related events."
Let's hope that Rmoney's team isn't as clueless as Fox News host Steve Doocybag. The smartest thing for Rmoney to do at this point is ask people to pitch in to help hurricane victims and also praise Obama's handling of the situation (as long as it's going well).
