A trip to puerto rico and try to -- and actually pay some attention finally to the issue. >> yeah. look. he was getting hammered on this and, you know, you can argue that sort of the most proactive hes been in terms of planning were for the disasters. he really did seem to kick it into high gear with texas and florida and then took the eye off the ball somewhat with puerto rico and from my reporting yesterday i can tell you he took his own people by surprise telling them he would make the trip t...
