Obama to sign proclamation on childhood obesity

President Barack Obama will be sticking around the White House today as Washington continues to dig out from its big snowfall, and prepares for another one expected to begin this afternoon.

In the morning, Obama will sign a memorandum on childhood obesity in the Oval Office. It's become one of Michelle Obama's areas of interest, and she'll be there to watch the signing.

After their daily briefing, the president and Vice President Joe Biden will meet with bipartisan leaders of the House and Senate to discuss working together on the economy and jobs.

Following lunch with the vice president, Obama will get his economic daily briefing and meet with senior advisers.
