Days before the election, the President has kept up a steady public presence overseeing the storm response, while cancelling a series of public campaign rallies.

On Sunday, he met FEMA officials, then told reporters the government will ‘respond big and respond fast’ after the massive storm made landfall.

The President also paid a visit to the headquarters of the Red Cross on Tuesday, saying he wanted 'no bureaucracy, no red tape' to interfere with recovery, and suggested the military might be able to help in view of the enormity of the damage.

He was joined on the presidential helicopter, Marine One, for the one-hour tour by Governor Christie, who faces his own re-election bid next year and is widely believed to be laying the foundations for a presidential bid in 2016 should Romney lose this time around.

'When disaster strikes, we see America at its best. There are no Democrats or Republicans during a storm. Just fellow Americans.' said Barack Obama
