The death toll rises in New York while the president continues  to believe his own press. He should get a grip on reality and leave his perception of his massive accomplishments at home. This was a multistate disaster, not a reason for a campaign photo op.

The president once told Barbara Walters he  wants people to thrive not just survive. It’s not happening, and I don’t just mean for the storm victims.

President Obama made lots of promises but New York hasn’t seen it. Shades of George Bush.
