Rose Garden Too Hot To Handle
Although today's press conference was to be President Obama's first in the Rose Garden, news came about an hour before the 12:30 p.m. start time that the event would be moved inside "due to humidity."While it's a warmish 80 degrees in Washington, a spin around the block tells the Capitolist it's not oppressive, and Weather.com reports humidity is at a most bearable 49 percent.
A tipster reminds us that Obama wasn't always so sensitive to Mother Nature's whims. Days after moving into the White House this year, he complained that Washington-area schools had closed after a dusting of winter weather.
Obama said then that his own 7 year-old could not understand why her school had closed for weather that would have been fit for an outdoor Chicago recess. "I don't know. We're going to have to try to apply some flinty Chicago toughness," Obama said in January.
Asked if he was accusing Washingtonians of being weather wimps, the president told reporters, "I'm saying, when it comes to the weather, folks in Washington don't seem to be able to handle things."

Yes...I remember very well....turning the heat up in the WH and at the same time telling Americans to tighten our belts....
Remember his statement “We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,”.........what frigging hyprocrites he and Michelle are with their Wed nite parties, $100 per pound steak they serve in the WH, $500 tennis shoes Michelle wore to feed the hungry, jetting all over the country and world...sickening

and the press STILL adores him. Why is nobody reporting about the serious issues? Can I see on here why a Inspector General was REALLY fired? Can we see something about accountability on the $$ wasted from the stimulus money? Can we see REAL unemployment numbers? Yoo Hoo.......any real reporters out there?

I just love the venom Obama haters spew, his presidency is burning their guts out. Four, eight years ought to be enough to cause them chronic problems. HaHa

Yet, another useless story. Mr. President, why aren't you doing anything about illegal immigration? Seems to me this would take care of the unemployment problem.

I'll bet it was the Secret Service that cancelled this first press conference in the Rose Garden. You never know what kind of threats they're monitoring... domestic or international.

But so far he is just all over the place.In another commint made to congress and you can check for yourselfs . He said we the poeples opion didn't matter .Just whos does?Where are you leading us Mr Press.?? One more thing Where are those reporters who only seek the truth we was so use to seeing,have they all gone blind or are they afaid and hidding???? thank ya'll for your time.

Now even Barack's supporters are turning on him. President Obama...forcing Michigan's unemployment rate to nearly 15% from 7% three months ago, empowering gay rights to the detriment of most Americans, screwing up the banking & finance industries, destroying the US automotive industry (I'm sorry but it can't bounce back), playing buddy-buddy with Iran, playing hard-ball politics with Israel, demolishing our health care system, not paying on government incentive programs which were promised and approved by Congress (political LYING, you bet), killing the Coal Industry: "What kind of mess have you gotten us into?” - Oliver Hardy.

They moved it from the rose garden because they new that all the BS would kill the roses.

I hope they grow a "pet" TickleMe Plant in the White house. The TickleMe Plant is the REAL plant that MOVES when you Tickle it!
The leaves quickly fold and even the branches move when Tickled. The TickleMe Plant will be even more fun for Sasha then the doll, as it is an interactive plant that even closes its leaves at night as if it is sleeping. It even produces pretty pink cotton candy like flowers. It would be cool if they can make the TickleMe Plant the white house mascot!
