D.C.’s ‘Weather Wimps’ Weigh In on Obama’s Comments

Obama amazed that schools close due to ice

“My children’s school was canceled today, because of what, some ice?” Obama said during a photo opportunity with economic leaders, who began chuckling. “As my children pointed out, in Chicago, school is never canceled. In fact, my 7-year-old pointed out that you go out for recess. You wouldn’t even stay indoors.”

Obama said he would have to instill “some flinty Chicago toughness” into Washingtonians.

“When it comes to the weather, folks in Washington don’t seem to be able to handle things,” he said.

He may get a pass from the media; but he won’t from the voters.

Obama has a Super Bowl Party to plan for and attend. The Furher cannot be bothered by the suffering of the peasants.

3 men have froze to death in Wisconsin this winter so far. That has never happened before. No condolences from Al Gore. He’s too busy raking in money for his myth that The Sheeple have fallen for.

Yes, I do. It’s called a laptop, battery and a generator. My family and I are fine. We have a generator and water. But, there are many who don’t. Until yesterday, we did not have water and all communication lines {cell and land line} were down for almost 24 hours. Until yesterday, one could not even obtain fuel for generators, kerosene heaters, etc ... My company lost all of their MPLS circuits and that was devistating to production. This is a grave situation and once again, I do not think you should make light of it.

Prayers for your family & all the others without power. I am glad that you have a generator. It is smart to be prepared.

Could it be that the new unelected corrupt government is avoiding this situation and also sending innocent people to their death so they do not have to show their hand and admit finally that global warming is a contrived communist agenda and hoax?
