Obama, Christie Tour Sandy-Hit Jersey Shore 
--------------------------------------------


 
President Obama visited New Jersey's famed Jersey Shore boardwalk on
Tuesday to observe the progress of recovery efforts seven months after
Superstorm Sandy. Both Obama and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie vowed to
continue working for the devastated areas in Sandy's path.

Gov. Chris Christie: "While I'm thrilled at the progress that we've made
the last seven months — and we got a chance to show the president
some of that earlier today up in Point Pleasant — I also made sure
that he understood there's still a lot more work to do for the people of
our state, and I am not going to let anything or anyone get in between
me and the completion of the mission to restore and recover our great
state."

President Obama: "Part of the reason I wanted to come back here was not
just to send a message to New Jersey, but send a message to folks in
Oklahoma: When we make a commitment that we've got your back, we mean
it. And we're not going to finish until the work is done."
