Let's see, DC is not as cold as compared to Chicago. Also, Chicago gets more snow than DC and hence they are used to it.

They may be.....however, the residents of DC are not used to it....but maybe Obama can hire a bunch of people to go out and teach the DC residents how to walk and drive on ice and in snow.

White House Unbuttons Formal Dress Code

WASHINGTON — The capital flew into a bit of a tizzy when, on his first full day in the White House, President Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without his suit jacket. There was, however, a logical explanation: Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat.

“He’s from Hawaii, O.K.?” said Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, who occupies the small but strategically located office next door to his boss. “He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.”

He's from Hawaii?

Damn,  :thatsright:  I thought he was from Kenya originally, with a foray or two in Indonesia and then to Hawaii.

Silly me.

He was probably made in Taiwan.  You know...just a cheap knock-off of a real leader.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Obama crossed the line into areas that seasoned politicians never go, the politics of snow.

The differences between Chicago and D.C. are numerous, but those that would affect school delays and cancellations the most are the ability to remove snow from the roads and keep them properly sanded.  North of NYC and you are golden.   The snow plows and sanders are legions and the roads are usually plowed to pavement with adequate sanding in time for morning/evening commutes.     D.C. does not have the heavy equipment or staffing that Chicago has.     The vehicles in DC also do not have the standard all weather tires that the vehicles in Chicago are equipped with.   The list could really go on, but he is a true jackass for even joking about the weather in this way.   

Folks may not remember that you kept only a few of your promises, but they have memories like elephants when it comes to their street getting properly plowed, and whether school was called or not when it was treacherous to walk the length of your street to the bus stop.    Any local politician will tell you --  play snow wrong and you can kiss your seat goodbye.   

Silly rookie move Mr.  President. 

And we will see a lot more such silly rookie mistakes in the weeks and months to come.
