Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Millions of people in the US will be cut off from food assistance starting next week, which includes upwards of 40 million children.
Some good suggestions here for those able to donate to pantries and food banks.
