>>Why is it taking so long to clear the streets in Washington, DC? Because of President Obama.

A DC Council member pointed the finger at President Obama last night for the city's failure to quickly remove snow from the DC streets.

Responding to a Chris Matthews tirade blasting the city government for slow snow removal, DC Councilman Harry Thomas, Jr. said the city was hesitant to get federal help because of comments President Obama made last year after schools were closed due to a much less significant storm.

...

"We were a little afraid because ... when it snowed the first time when the president first got here, he said, 'Wow, we're closing .' So we got a little afraid and we under-reacted as opposed to when we overreacted when we had a little bit of snow," Thomas said.<<


What is there to say? I'm totally gobsmacked.

1. Gotta blame someone,don't they? Idiots.

2. Uh, I may have a faulty memory, but wasn't there a tremendous

difference between the snow that first year and the storm this year, Mr. Councilman? As a Councilman aren't you more responsible for the city's business?

My head hurts.

3. "Wow, we're closing"

I just don't understand how this comment could be interpreted to mean "Don't come crawling to me if you want money for snow removal, jackasses!"
