Not everybody can have a detail of Secret Service Agents safely escort their children to school in dangerous weather conditions.
But who would expect the Obamessiah to know this?
To: theruleshavechanged
Same thing happened here last week. The parents of the other kids in my daughters’ gymnastics class were outraged. What’s the use of free daycare - not to mention the service the Obamas are paying for! - if it’s not open when you don’t feel like having your kids around?

Obambi --> You ain't in Chicago anymore.
Kindly be sensitive when addressing people who are not accustomed to snow and ice.

Not everybody can have a detail of Secret Service Agents safely escort their children to school in dangerous weather conditions. Anyone who can afford Sidwell Friends can pay *somebody* to take their kids to school, in a snowplow if necessary.

Mocking. So attractive in a leader. Guaranteed to go over at their school, too, I bet.

The DC schools were on 2-hour delayed opening
But hey, if the Secret Service armored limo caravan can get through the ice to Sidwell Friends- all those public school parents and teachers should just suck it up and report on time

Has it occurred to him the Chicago is flat as a pancake with square blocks, and Washington is hilly with lots of curvy roads?

Doesn’t anyone see what an arrogant SOB this Obama is?
To: xtinct
“People who are not used to snow and ice.” I imagine they don’t have the snow plows, etc., in place to deal with unusual weather, either. That’s what usually happens.
Gee, what a jerk!

Perhaps he’s not aware that the mayor of DC, Adrian Fenty, is a black Democrat, just like him. Over the years Mayor Fenty’s grown in my respect. While I don’t live in the city, I do work here, and the services I’ve seen have improved under the Fenty administration.

Making friends wherever he goes.
Mr. President, we’re got some tough times on our hands. Beating up the DC School system isn’t going to make things better.
This man is a snob.
