"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.
Was he directing this to Algore and his other GW buddies?
