This is what was going on in New York City yesterday as families continued to struggle with post-Hurricane Sandy devastation.

So of course President Obama headed to Manhattan to ensure local leaders have the resources they need.

Nah, just kidding. The campaigner in chief jetted off to Vegas, baby!

If Sandy had happened and two or three days later Bush was in Vegas campaigning.. All media hell would break loose. Obama..? Nothing.

Civil unrest in NYC: dumpster diving, looting and anger. But at least Obama is comfortable in Vegas campaigning…

Sheila E. provided entertainment at the Sin City rally on Thursday.

Just finished playing for the President in Vegas. Please Go and and Vote! God bless @obama2012

And campaign co-chair Eva Longoria warmed up the crowd, presumably without her usual vulgarities and bashing of conservative women and minorities.

In Vegas at the #WeDecide rally @ The Cheyenne Sports Complex w/ @sheilaedrummer! @barackobama to arrive shortly to see everyone fired up!

But no worries. President Obama is a multitasker! He can campaign and offer leaders in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut the dubious comfort of his soothing voice via conference call.

[W]e had conference calls with mayors all across New Jersey; had conference calls with mayors and local elected officials all across Connecticut. I spoke to the governors of New Jersey, Connecticut, and New York, and they’re struggling. And the cleanup, the aftermath of this storm is going to be hard and it’s going to take some time.

Unsurprisingly, that’s little relief to those in storm-ravaged areas.

47 degrees — and no power in NYC — could be days before the power is restored. Meanwhile, Obama campaigns.

Oh, and before the trolls start in with “But ROMMMMMNEEEEEEY”:

Love when leftists write me “Romney is campaigning post-Sandy, so why should Obama act differently?” OBAMA IS PRESIDENT. WAKE UP.

Former GOP rep. arrives in Nevada with questions about #BundyRanch standoff

Former GOP Rep. Joe Walsh arrived in Nevada on Saturday just as it was reported that the Bureau of Land Management was ending its court-ordered removal of Cliven Bundy’s cattle from public land.

The tense and complicated standoff between the rancher and the BLM grew increasingly toxic as incidents of violence between protesters and law enforcement were reported and false information spread across the Internet.

Walsh wonders if today’s developments are really the end of the standoff.

According to 8NewsNow.com’s sources,”the BLM wants to proceed with the sale of the cattle already gathered during the roundup but is reportedly willing to share the revenue from the sale with Bundy.”

Stay tuned as this story develops.

[Update]

As details continue to emerge, Walsh shares what he’s hearing on the ground in Nevada.
