President Obama Piles Up the Snow Shoveling Jokes on White House Lawn

— -- Call him the shoveler in chief.

President Obama emerged from the White House Monday for the first time since this weekend's massive blizzard and tried to warm up the crowd with a crack at digging out from the historic snowfall.

Obama motioned to the cleared section of the South Lawn where his helicopter was waiting and said "I shoveled all this stuff!"

Obama then boarded Marine One where he took off to visit with wounded service members at the nation's largest military medical center in Bethesda, Md.
