ROTFLMAO. That's *inspired*.

"Can I make a comment that is unrelated to the economy very quickly?" the new president told reporters at a gathering with business leaders. "And it has to do with Washington. My children's school was canceled today. Because of, what? Some ice?"

Time for the 100k snowplow program?
Sidwell could invite him to enroll his daughters elsewhere, or assume personal liability for any student/parent injured traveling to work in icy conditions. Ice ain’t snow, Barrack.
I hear you. During the big storm in ‘67 the bus was cancelled, but school was still open. We watched movies all day and left at 1:30, but the principal showed up, so school was officially open.
Now he knew how to handle ice ~ got to work at 7:30 AM in fact.
All the smart-alecs from NYC and Chicago didn't even make it in.
That's when I began noticing who could or could not handle ice.
he completely lacks any personal warmth. Has anyone ever heard him say something that was actually funny?
It's not snow, it's ice.
And no, you can't drive on ice any better than anyone else.
NEA Response: pucker slurp, slurp, slurp.
LOl, he should of called Gore, and got some global warming sent.. and then got Ted Kennedy to come by and drive the girls to school.. Ted Has driving experience on curvy roads..
Dear Mr. Barak Hussein Soetoro 0bama Whatever:
Welcome to DC. They close schools, here, at the drop of a snowflake. Live with it. Think of it as “cultural diversity” if that helps.
Or, you can just STFU. That works, too.
Sincerely,
-A. Bustard
lololol
I can see that - as Obammie bungles this weather emergency - what will he do when another Katrina hits?
"Ahh - come on! Just a little rain. You wanna evacuate the whole city? What wimps!"
We all tend to get used to our weather but don’t do well out of our comfort zone. Here, below freezing , we close schools and freeways. It’s to protect people from injury. We don’t get enough cold weather to learn to drive in it. Northerners laugh at us but they don’t think it’s funny when someone mentions they don’t do well with humidity and high heat here.
“Regarding “ice” people in Chicago rarely have ice ~ it’s an alien thing to them. What they have is “snow” ~ Lake Michigan gets “ice”.
Ice, as any Souvrnr’ can tell you is very dangerous, slippery, and sneaky. Mayor Barry taught us that if we wait for Spring it’ll melt ~ no doubt Obama has consulted with the old man on that matter.”
Agreed. Here in Central Texas, we have tens of thousands of northern transplants. Every year, when things close due to ice, I hear a lot of them gripe about how stupid people here are, and that we just don’t know how to drive in “that stuff.” Oddly, the day after, the bar ditches are filled with cars with out of state tags.
I was in Iowa over Christmas, and I sure noticed any number of cars that had run off the road due to ice.
Some people don’t know the difference between ice and snow. Skill can help a person drive in snow, but it doesn’t help a whole lot on a sheet of ice in hilly areas.
Actually I don’t do well with the humidity and high heat here either ~ and look forward eagerly to the coming Ice Age!
The presidency really is his plaything to do with as he chooses.
No. He’s wrong. You are too. If your town can’t drive in it safely, then it would be foolish to insist people try.
Mr. Hopey McChangey is turning into Whiney McBitchy.
"As my children pointed out, in Chicago, school is never canceled," Obama said to laughter. "In fact, my 7-year-old pointed out that you'd go outside for recess. You wouldn't even stay indoors. So, I don't know. We're going to have to try to apply some flinty Chicago toughness."Asked if he meant the people of the national's capital are wimps, Obama said: "I'm saying, when it comes to the weather, folks in Washington don't seem to be able to handle things."
But I'm not the President, and I've spent winters in both places, so let me say I know exactly what he means.
But it's not just Washington. I live in California where it only rains in the winter time. No snow, rarely ice, just rain. And when it rains people on the roads lose their frakking minds. Something a Chicagoan wouldn't think twice about causes people here to run into perfectly innocent telephone poles.
ROTFLMAO. That's *inspired*.
Why doesn’t he just bang his staff and make the ice stop?
