President Barack Obama spoke with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Tuesday to offer his condolences to those affected by deadly floods that tore through parts of Texas.
Obama said he has directed Federal Emergency Management Agency resources to the area.
"I assured Governor Abbott that he could count on the help of the federal government," Obama said Tuesday following a meeting with NATO's secretary general. "We have FEMA personnel already on the ground. They are coordinating with Texas emergency management authorities and I will anticipate that there will be some significant requests made to Washington. My pledge to him is that we will expedite those requests."
See what a difference real leadership makes. He acts in the best interest of all citizens and not just the one's who voted for him.
