Paging Al Gore
Remember back in May during the campaign when then candidate Obama said "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times... and then just expect that other countries are going to say "OK"... That's not leadership. That's not going to happen."
Well I wonder what that Barack Obama has to say about THIS Barack Obama....
He cranked up the thermostat? With Mother Gaia in the crisis she is in today???? What will the rest of the world think?
He's from Hawaii? Oh well that explains everything...Does that mean that people from Florida can turn their thermostats up? I mean they don't like the cold much either....
Or could this be yet one more leftist "do as I say and not as I do" situation?

The capital flew into a bit of a tizzy when, on his first full day in the White House, President Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without his suit jacket. There was, however, a logical explanation: Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat.

“He’s from Hawaii, O.K.?” said Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, who occupies the small but strategically located office next door to his boss. “He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.”

I cannot even take this seriously.
I want to -- it's that stupid -- but I can't.
At all.

Well, Ronald Reagan had the White House rooftop solar panels dismantled.
It would be a nice symbolic gesture if President Obama could make the White House more energy efficient. Then no one will hypocritically whine about thermostat settings.
(They'll just whine about something else).

It would be reassuring if our president would buck the temptation to be hypocritical. We have too many two faced politicians in Washington. I was told that Obama was different. The more we get to know our Commander in Chief, though, the more we see that he seems to be more of the same.

Interesting how during the past 8 years it has been a "right" to criticize an administration but now that the shoe is on the other foot, the criticizers are whiners.
Get used to it. I figure I've got a lot of "hate" to pay back.
On topic, the President has some nerve telling me to turn down my thermostat and put air in my tires when he can't wear a suit coat in the house my taxes pay for!

Good point LadyinGray. I too remember being told over the last 4 years or so that criticism of the "current occupant" was noble - nay even patriotic!
This next 4 years are going to be fun indeed.
