Hamden
--
I'm
about to go speak to the crowd here in Chicago, but I wanted to thank you
first.
I
want you to know that this wasn't fate, and it wasn't an accident. You made
this happen . . . I will spend the rest
of my presidency honoring your support, and doing what I can to finish what we
started. But I want you to take real pride, as I do, in how we got the chance
in the first place.
Today
is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can
overcome powerful interests.
There's
a lot more work to do.
But
for right now: Thank you.

Helping
Small Businesses through Sandy
Was
your small business, or the small business of someone you know, affected by
Hurricane Sandy? As Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Karen G.

Administration has resources to help you rebuild your business or your home.
Following

President Obama stressed the importance of making sure all those who have been
impacted by Hurricane Sandy know that help is available for them.
In
this week’s address, President Obama thanks the brave first responders and
National Guardsmen for their tireless work following one of the worst storms in
our nation’s history.
As

Recovering
and Rebuilding after the Storm
In
this week’s address, President Obama thanks the brave first responders and
National Guardsmen for their tireless work following one of the worst storms in
our nation’s history, and reassures the millions of Americans affected by
Hurricane Sandy that their country will be there for them during the long road
to recovery.
Sunday: President Obama traveled to the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) head-quarters in Washington D.C. to meet with FEMA
Administrator Craig Fugate, FEMA Deputy Administrator Richard Serino, and the
FEMA regional directors, to ensure federal resources were pre-positioned and
plans were in place to support state and local response efforts.
Monday: The President convened a meeting in the
White House Situation Room, and received updates from FEMA and the National
Hurricane Center on the ongoing response to Hurricane Sandy. Following the
briefing, the President urged residents in the path of Hurricane Sandy to
follow the directions of their state and local officials.
Tuesday: Tuesday morning, the President and other officials met in the White House
Situation Room to receive updates on the impact of Hurricane Sandy. Federal
response teams had already started providing assistance to those affected by
the storm. And overnight, at the request of the governors, the President
approved major disaster declaration for New Jersey and New York, making
additional federal support for state and local efforts available.
Tuesday
afternoon, the President traveled to the U.S. Red Cross headquarters
in Washington D.C. to provide updates on federal efforts to assist with the
recovery and cleanup of Hurricane Sandy. He made clear that there was no excuse
for inaction, and for federal agencies to do what is necessary to get people
the help they need as quickly as possible:
There
are places like Newark, New Jersey, for example, where you’ve got 80, 90
percent of the people without power. We can't have a situation where that lasts
for days on end. And so my instructions to the federal agency has been, do not
figure out why we can't do something; I want you to figure out how we do something.
I want you to cut through red tape. I want you to cut through bureaucracy.
There’s no excuse for inaction at this point. I want every agency to lean
forward and to make sure that we are getting the resources where they need --
where they're needed as quickly as possible.
Wednesday: The President toured New Jersey to witness first-hand the
devastation of Hurricane Sandy, and comfort the Americans affected by the
storm. The President and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie surveyed
the damage from Marine One, then walked the streets of Brigantine, and
visited a community center now serving as shelter for displaced citizens. He
reminded the American people of our remarkable ability to come together as a
country when we go through tough times, and the importance of never leaving
anybody behind:
And
when you see folks like that respond with strength and resilience, when you see
neighbors helping neighbors, then you're reminded about what America is all
about. We go through tough times, but we bounce back. And the reason
we bounce back is because we look out for one another and we don’t leave
anybody behind. And so my commitment to the people on this block, the people in
this community, and the people of this state is that that same spirit will carry
over all the way through until our work is done.
Recovery
and Cleanup: Recovery
and cleanup in the wake of Hurricane Sandy has now started along much of the
East Coast. As survivors of the storm begin to deal with the aftermath of the
giant storm, people across the country are asking what they can do to offer aid
to their fellow Americans, and the federal government remains committed to
providing all available resources to support affected areas, as directed by President
Obama.
On
Wednesday, President Obama visited Hurricane Sandy survivors in New Jersey and
spoke about the recovery ahead.
In
times of crisis, Americans look out for one another. Find out how you can help
the organizations on the ground provide food, shelter and other services to
those in need.
While
more work remains to be done, today’s employment report provides further
evidence that the U.S. economy is continuing to heal from the wounds inflicted
by the worst downturn since the Great Depression.
This
week, with the arrival of the historic Superstorm Sandy, the President worked
alongside FEMA officials and the American Red Cross, addressed the nation and
federal agencies on emergency preparedness and recovery, and visited with some
of those affected by the storm.
On
Wednesday, the President was in New Jersey to witness first-hand the
devastation of Hurricane Sandy, and comfort the Americans affected by the
storm.
