Apparently Reid's comments were an insult to George Bush and Republicans.  The underlying message is that Bush did not have nearly so much to do in the aftermath of the storm in New Orleans compared to what Obama faced in Sandy's destruction.  This also extends to the recent dispute over allocating funds for Sandy's victims, a dispute that unfortunately the New Jersey Governor's comments and attitude have hurt his own party.  The Democrats have played this like a fiddle, continuing in their determination to destroy conservatives and elevate their own liberal agendas.
