As someone very cynical and psychotically skeptical, I see this as part of the propaganda campaign on the march toward 1930s Germany fascism. We have days of no federal help, we see newsfootage constantly of the chaos that happens when we're left alone, and then the feds come swooping in, our knights in shining armor. And if you don't have cable and are watching on CNN.com like me, every news clip is preceded by an add to join the army. This is one big opportunistic ad campaign for a militaristic patriotism.
Mission Accomplished!
