'Nice Weather' Making Obama a 'Little Nervous'

At a posh fundraiser in Atlanta, where 40 guests each paid $35,800 to attend, President Obama talked about . . . the weather. As today's White House pool reporter notes:

Potus talked about how he had been in Chicago and Atlanta and how the weather was so warm. “It gets you a little nervous about what is happening to global temperatures. When it is 75 degrees in Chicago in the beginning of March, you start thinking. On the other hand, I really have enjoyed nice weather.”

The president was presumably referring to global warming.

This fundraiser was at the home of Tyler Perry. Here's how the pooler describes the home:

"[It's] a vast French –chateau style mansion reached by a steep winding road deep into the woods away from the road in a well heeled suburb of Atlanta. A fountain sits in the courtyard lit up by white lights under the water.

"The three story home complete with wooden shutters, that would have looked at home in the Loire Valley, was reached by a wide marble staircase leading up to the front door, inside which was a large crystal chandelier. The pool spotted a cozy looking library with antique volumes on the shelves as we were taken up two flights of stairs into a games room area, complete with a pub-style bar, pool table, antique chess set and large antique telescope."

Upon entering the room, the president said, “Usually we have better accommodation for events but we decided to slum it here.”

Quite the contrary. This mild winter means less heating fuel used for homes. If it was a normal cold winter people would have to fuel up an additional time this heating season at about $700/tankfull of oil.
That, along with the price at the gas pump, would further alienate them from Obama. He caught a break this winter. - tom

Is this the house? Cause apparently he owns another mansion around Atlanta somewhere.

When it is 75 degrees in Chicago in the beginning of March, you start thinking..

So he only thinks:
When he’s in Chicago,
only at the beginning of March,
and only when it’s 75 degrees?
Okay - I understand now!
