The White House cancels press conference with England's Prime Minister 'because of snow.'
"When it comes to the weather, folks in Washington don't seem to be able to handle things,we need to instill some flinty Chicago toughness"
Barack Obama, January 2009
The UK Telegraph suggests:
Mr Brown might be forgiven for thinking that his friend, rival and predecessor Tony Blair would not have been treated the same way by his bosom buddy President George W. Bush. After all, there are 132 rooms in the White House at least some of which, presumably, are currently be free of snow.
And, of course, they note the President of the United States is a busy man:
On the other hand, President Obama is terribly busy this Tuesday. The White House schedule tells us that he is delivering remarks at the Department of Transportation to deliver remarks about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and is also speaking at the Department of Interior to mark its 160th anniversary.Pin It
There's a conflab with Pentagon chief Bob Gates. Oh, and Mr Obama will also meet "a delegation from the Boy Scouts of America and receive their 2008 Report to the Nation". in the Oval Office.
