It was actually "homeboy in the deal". Biden was clearly referring to himself when he made that statement.

I Googled "Joe Biden 'homeboy' quote" and this is what I got:
"So as the president said when he was up here with the governor, we’re not going anywhere. We’re not going anywhere. And you’ve got a homeboy in the deal who gets it," said Biden in Seaside Heights, N.J., according to White House pool reports.
“So as the president said when he was up here with the governor, we’re not going anywhere. We’re not going anywhere. And you’ve got a homeboy in the deal who gets it.”

Seeking to reassure victims of Hurricane Sandy following a tour of the damaged boardwalk in Seaside Heights, N.J., Vice President Joe Biden told residents Sunday that he spent a lot of time on the New Jersey shore while growing up and that they’ve got a “homeboy” in the White House who “gets it.”

I wouldn't say it was for nothing---your choice of an altered quote speaks volumes about you as a person and as a credible source of information on this forum.

Hurricane Sandy Victim Obama Promised “Immediate Help” In Iconic Photo Still Hasn’t Received Any Help…

Donna Vanzant struggled through flooded streets and downed power lines two days after superstorm Sandy to reach the ravaged marina she owns in Brigantine.
Secret Service agents were combing the area when she finally arrived, and by the time the afternoon was over, she had met President Obama and shared an emotional hug with him.
The following morning, the image of that embrace, top right, appeared on the front page of The Record and was published and broadcast by news outlets around the world.
I was fortunate enough to be in the pool of news photographers who accompanied the president on his tour of the devastation along the Jersey Shore, and among those who got to photograph Vanzant’s presidential encounter.
I returned to Brigantine last week to see how she was doing.
All but one of the boats in her North Point Marina that were pushed as far as three blocks away by the storm surge have now been recovered, but there is much left to do. Vanzant estimates that her business losses will amount to at least $500,000, including the cost of repairing the marina.
She said she was honored to meet Obama, but she is also frustrated that she has yet to receive help from either her insurance companies or the government. “The president told me I would get immediate help,” she said.
“Looking back on it, it wasted a lot of people’s time,” she said of the visit.
The future of the North Point Marina remains uncertain. “I am just moving minute by minute, because the insurance companies are telling me no, no, no!” she said.

Re: Hurricane Sandy
UPDATE:
Sandy victim needs more than hugs from Obama to rebuild along Jersey Shore | Fox News

They need the Republican controlled House to pass funding. Today all they did was say that the insurance that people paid for will be honored.
House Republicans = American Taliban.

What they needed to do was strip the bill of all the pork that was piggybacked on it.
According to CNN and PBS, about 1/3 of the $9.7B was for stuff unrelated to Sandy.
The National government just sucks.

During an interview on Fox News Friday, Hurricane Sandy victim Scott McGrath went off on President Barack Obama and politicians in Washington who have allowed the nation to rack up debt while neglecting its own citizens. He reminded them “we run this country, not you” in an epic segment.
McGrath lamented the fact that nearly two months later, many Sandy victims still need aid and Congress has only been able to put forth a pork-filled bill that will only partially help those affected by the storm.
“He’s a phony. He’s a liar,” McGrath said of Obama. “He said to be face to face, that he is going to cut the red tape. We’re two months now no red tapes been cut.”

If you would read my post, I quoted the sources as CNN and PBS (hardly conservative news sources).
I don't care where the pork was funneled ... it's still pork and should not be in the bill.

Dear woman, that has not been passed, only the $9b relief for flood insurance. When the American Taliban allow it to reach the floor of the House, you will see what pork has been left in and who it benefits politically from it.
