A Lack Of Leadership

Politicians are usually good at pandering for votes, but very rarely exhibit true leadership.  This was evident in the wake of "Superstorm Sandy" that hit the NY & NJ coasts.  In the wake of flooding and major power outages, refineries were offline and a gasoline shortage ensued.  Instead of limiting the number of gallons per visit - which would have ensured everyone got some fuel (Sorry Escalade & Tahoe Drivers), and forstalling panic, they did nothing and caused people to act and feel like refugees in a third world country.

Par for the course.
