>> the president is going to speak in about 60 seconds , but i'd like to get a brief comment. there are a number of people on the east coast shore who were unhappy about your vote on hurricane sandy. in fact, you said the request for funding was a slush fund . with all due respect, is there money to help the people here in your home state rebuild?

>> well, let's look at that. that was totally different. they were getting things, for instance, that was supposed to be in new jersey. they had things in the virgin islands . they were fixing roads there, putting roofs on houses in washington, d.c. everybody was getting in and exploiting the tragedy that took place. that won't happen in oklahoma.
