to those with loved ones in the NE. Even those able to see or hear POTUS will know (and can pass the word on to neighbors) that they will not be forgotten about and everything possible is being done to help.

I was watching MSNBC and didn't think to switch to the networks.

and she likes The Ellen Show & they broke in with a Special Report. Christie as appreciative as ever and Obama looking & acting Presidential. Small clip of Romney looking smarmy and insincere, but I am way biased. Lasted about 40 minutes.

New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and West Virginia are experiencing disasters as a result of this storm.

NBC did was NEtworks SHOULD do -- break away from programming to inform the nation when the President of the United States has something to say that is of NATIONAL importance.

Believe it or not, he is still the President. It was important that NBC (and I hope CBS and ABC) did this. If people have access to TV at all, they are lucky if they have cable.

This important. It's not about money it is about information about something that is VERY VERY devastating to our nation.
