this is how chi man Obama reacted to FAH's day off.
At a photo op before his meeting Wednesday morning with business leaders, he joked about how DC schools can’t handle wintry weather, according to a press pool report. Think again, Mr. President. Unlike the surrounding jurisdictions, which closed schools because of icy conditions, DC public schools were open for business, after a two-hour delay.
But Obama’s children, who attend the private Sidwell Friends, didn’t have school.
“My children’s school was canceled today, because of what? Some ice?” he said to laughter, according to an unofficial transcript of his remarks provided by Jon Ward of the Washington Times. “As my children pointed out, in Chicago, school is never canceled,” and kids even go out for recess on snow days, he added, to more laughter.
Well, needless to say, if he and his wife had chosen to send their children to a public DC elementary school (of which there are several fine choices, despite the overall system’s terrible reputation), Malia and Sasha (and not FAH) would have gone to school today. And maybe they would have even had outdoor recess.
