   What tales of Obama bravery will we hear from the libtard media   
   now?  Was he out fighting the storm with a snow shovel?  Not   
   likely.   
      
   A deadly winter storm has taken a toll from Texas to New   
   England, producing a messy mix of ice-slicked roads, power   
   outages and whiteout conditions that have battered millions of   
   Americans enduring an already punishing winter.   
      
   As more than a half-million homes and businesses in the South   
   woke up Thursday without electricity following a vicious ice   
   storm, millions more along the Interstate 95 corridor are   
   struggling to dig out of more than a foot of snow in some parts.   
      
   The swift-moving storm — initially categorized as “catastrophic”   
   — wreaked havoc across 22 states:   
      
   ? There were still more than 468,000 power outages, mainly   
   across the South, as of Thursday afternoon. Georgia and South   
   Carolina bore the brunt of Wednesday’s ice storm and account for   
   90 percent of the outages. Georgia’s highways were virtually   
   empty after officials warned drivers to stay off the roads — a   
   vast difference from the Jan. 28 storm when commuters were stuck   
   for hours in paralyzing gridlock.   
      
   ? Areas around Washington, D.C., and Baltimore were slammed with   
   at least a foot of snow overnight Wednesday as the storm moves   
   up the coast at a rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour. Capitol Hill   
   came to a standstill Thursday morning, with the federal   
   government and courts closing, and the White House canceling a   
   briefing with reporters.
