Flinty Chicago Toughness??

Help me out here. Am I going nuts? I fail to see anything very funny about what this man is saying, and yet the reporters are acting like it is the funniest thing they have ever heard. And the newscaster is positively gushing....





"When it comes to the weather, folks in Washington don't seem to be able to handle things," a joking Obama told reporters Wednesday morning.

"My children's school was canceled today because of what? Some ice."

Obama said his daughters -- Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7 -- pointed out that school in Chicago is never canceled.

"In fact, my 7-year-old pointed out that you'd go out for recess. You wouldn't even stay indoors," Obama says.

"We're going to have to try some flinty, Chicago toughness to this town."

So where the heck was he the past two winters while he was Senator? Wasn't he "present"?

Yeah, but he's in his shirt sleeves in the oval office, cranking up the heat. Even that idiot Carter managed a sweater.
