Not only has Obama made no plans to visit Rhode Island, but his FEMA director isn’t visiting either.
Speaking to a Democratic fundraiser in Boston, President Barack Obama corrected himself, acknowledging that the director of the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), schedule to be in Orlando, would not be going to flood-ravaged Rhode Island.“And tomorrow, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and FEMA director — FEMA Deputy Administrator Rich Serino, who is a Boston native, by the way — will be visiting Rhode Island to tour some of the hardest hit areas and make sure that we are doing everything we can,” the president told the crowd at the Democratic National Committee fundraising event in Boston
So, the FEMA director is in sunny Florida, and Obama is, raising money for his party, I guess Rhode Island isn’t a big priority for him
