MR PRESIDENT OBAMA PLEASE STOP SAYING THINGS LIKE THIS

I know that our readiness to cancel schools in the DC area seem silly to someone who has lived in a snowier climate, but:

1) It is foolish to trifle with ice storms.

2) We don't really get so much snow around here. Let the kids have some fun.

3) The DC road system is usually clogged with out-of-towners who don't understand it. Nudge.

Also, "instilling some Chicago toughness" sounds like part of a set-up to a Vaudeville joke.
