Neither snow nor SNOBAMA could prevent President Barack Obama from taking the podium at the Auraria campus this morning. During his address, he touted his jobs bill and a restructuring of student loans -- a topic calculated to appeal to a crowd estimated at 4,000.

Photographer Chip Kalback captured the scene outside, where protesters made their points, and in. Check out his images below.
