WASHINGTON -- The commander in chief is taking a friendly poke at Washington's reaction to the winter storm.
President Barack Obama says his daughters' school was closed today, "because of what? Some ice?" His remarks drew laughs after some more serious talk about the economy.
Obama says his children pointed out that "in Chicago, school is never canceled." He says he'll have to instill some Chicago toughness into Washingtonians.
The Obama daughters attend Sidwell Friends School, which was closed today, along with many schools in the region. The D.C. Public Schools, however, opened two hours late.
