Obama Irked Over Daughters' Snow Day

Wednesday, January 28, 2009 11:35 AM


WASHINGTON – You call this bad weather? President Barack Obama, steeled by many snowy Chicago winters, expressed disbelief Wednesday when his daughters woke up to find that their classes had been canceled for the day.


Schools in Washington and the surrounding suburbs either opened late or scrapped all their classes because of icy conditions.


"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?"


The president said he wasn't the only one who was incredulous.


"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."

I think we finally have a POTUS with some common sense.

I thought this thread was about the University of Alabama. I cant stand Auburn.

ROLL TIDE

I heard he had the thermastats turned up and had already changed the suit coat only rule for the oval office. Time for a change.

I LOVED his comment last night that he was "upset" at the exec's on Wall Street taking bonuses while still accepting bailout $$.

Where the hell was he after they gave out the first $300+ billiion?
Why didn't he speak up when the POS exec's at AIG were wasting their free handout from the Govt?
