Former president Bill Clinton hugs a woman in the Rockaways
He feels their pain.
Former president Bill Clinton visited the Rockaways this weekend, and got a first-hand look at Hurricane Sandy devastation that rocked the normally tranquil Queens neighborhood.
Clinton Global Initiative volunteers and the 42nd president hit the streets for their Day of Action efforts to pick up the pieces left behind by Sandy.
"We were glad to make a small but meaningful difference in the community and were moved by the perseverance and kindness of those living through such hardship in the storm's wake," Clinton wrote on his Facebook page late last night.
Clinton was warmly greeted by neighborhood residents and his volunteers, who snapped pictures and shook hands with the popular former president.
Daughter Chelsea Clinton also pitched in over the weekend and tweeted to all the volunteers: “Thanks for coming out!”
The former first daughter said she spent a day ripping down dry wall at one storm victim’s house.
