“The key is, as cold as it’s here, it’s cold as hell some of these places where people don’t have any energy, don’t have any electricity, and it’s going to take a Herculean effort,” Biden told reporters on the tarmac before taking off for Columbus this afternoon.

Biden, who spent the morning via teleconference on a FEMA briefing and a call to governors with President Obama, praised the work of FEMA, saying the agency has done “one hell of a job,” and the vice president touted the bipartisan work of officials across the country.

“I think FEMA’s doing an incredible job,” he said. “It has pre-positioned resources. The governors are all cooperating with one another. The mayors are cooperating. I’ve never in all my experience seen as much cooperation and acknowledgement of that cooperation from city, state and federal levels, so it’s working like it’s supposed to and I’m really proud of our team.

“I’m also proud of the way the governors have all stepped up with the mayors. Hearing the mayor of Philadelphia and the governor of Pennsylvania, two different parties, talking about the cooperation. Governor Christie [Chris Christie of New Jersey] talking about the cooperation as with the mayor of Newark,” he said.
