    The snow didn't stop him from going all the way to the Oval Office to work, why should it stop anyone else.

    LOL ... might as well call Yo-Yo Ma and co. wimps, since they couldn't perform well tuned live music under harsh winter weather, either.

    This is a subtle hint that he intends to start controlling traditional state powers, like when to close school. I'm calling my Con Law professor to be on the lookout.

    I'm a wimp. 60 degrees is considered cold.

    But 100 is nice. It's all relative.

    If schools close, likely the government offices are closed or delayed in opening. I think Obama just wants to get some work done.

    i'm not above laughing at goofs by anyone, but how do you get that from that picture. his body is pointed towards the door and his head is turned looking through a window, which is what you do to windows, you look through them. it looks like people are mistaking his shadow for his hand.
