Oh so that's an excuse to make such a statement about peoples lives. Some of you ****ing amaze me what you feel is right to say or not say.
I believe it was meant to say the politicians took advantage of the crisis to distract people from political issues like Bengazi and look like good guys. I don't think he meant to make light of the disaster on the east coast. It's all in how you read it I guess and maybe i'm wrong but thats how I see it.
