President Obama toured some of the hardest-hit areas of New York City Thursday, neighborhoods still littered with the rubble of shattered lives and homes.

Obama’s first-look at New York’s devastation included a helicopter tour above Queens and a visit to Staten Island, where he greeted people in a FEMA tent and then set out on a walking tour.

“I’m very proud of you, New York. You’re tough,” Obama said in brief remarks after walking through a storm-stricken neighborhood.
