After canceling his appearance at a morning campaign rally in Orlando, Fla. , President Barack Obama walks into the White House in a driving rain after returning to Washington to monitor preparations for early response to Hurricane Sandy, Oct. 29, 2012. (Jacquelyn Martin/AP Photo) Exactly one week from today Americans across the country will go to the polls to pick the next president of the United States. But this morning people in many parts of the East Coast are waking up to the destruction left in the wake of what one ABC News reporter described as a "liquid fist" that pounded the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. According to the Associated Press, the storm took the lives of "at least 17 people in seven states" and cut off power to nearly 7. 5 million residents.
