Restoring power to the millions of Americans who lost electricity during Sandy is a top priority.

I instructed my team to keep me updated on the progress made by the utilities to restore power.

America is with you.

The more you follow instructions, the easier it is for our first-responders to make sure that they are dealing with true emergency situations.

Our top priority is to make sure all available resources are being provided to state and local responders as quickly as possible.

I expect my team to remain focused as the immediate impacts of Hurricane Sandy continue and lean forward in their response.

So I want to repeat--my message to the Federal Government: no bureaucracy, no red tape. Get resources where they're needed as fast as possible, as hard as possible, and for the duration, because the recovery process obviously in a place…

Ultimately, as commander-in-chief, I'm responsible, and I don't shy away from that responsibility.

I have determined that it is necessary to include these rules of origin, together with particular rules applicable to certain other goods, in the HTS.

Our number-one priority is to make sure that we are saving lives.

When they tell you to evacuate, you need to evacuate.

You can go to ready.gov.

That's exactly what we're going to do.

The good news is, is that the Governors and local officials, I think, have had a few days of preparation.

Please listen to what your State and local officials are saying.

An emergency exists in the State of Rhode Island.

If we get that piece done, then, immigration reform, I think is there to get done.

This is going to be a big storm.
