Hurricane Sandy drowns coverage of White House scandals
10/30/2012
By: Neil Munro
Hurricane Sandy is helping drown media coverage of several White House scandals in the crucial run-up to Election Day.
The storm has also dampened coverage of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romneys progress in critical Midwest swing states.
On Monday, the networks cameras were pointed at Obama as he stood at a White House podium to sketch out his administrations response to the oncoming hurricane.
Im extraordinarily grateful for the cooperation of our state and local officials. At this point, there are no unmet needs, he said, speaking as the president, instead of a candidate.
The cameras werent pointed, however, at the Obama administrations proliferating scandals, including the Justice Departments Fast and Furious gun-smuggling project, the Treasury Departments decision to strip Delphi Automotive workers of their pensions and the administrations intelligence leaks.
The cameras also werent pointed at the top GOP officials who recently began demanding the White House provide support for Obamas claims that he directed his deputies to immediately secure U.S. diplomatic sites after jihadis assaulted the Benghazi consulate on Sept. 11.
