A Hypocrite? Moi, Barack?
POWERLINE
By John

The Cornerites are having fun at President Obama's expense, noting this story in the New York Times:

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."

But wait! Isn't the planet in peril? Isn't it incumbent on all of us to minimize our carbon footprints by turning down our heat and air conditioning? And how about this Obama quote from the campaign:

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.

I guess he meant your home, sucker, not his.

Cant give you a link I'm working on an iPhone but it's the lead story in the news. 16 month old PC died I think it's the power supply. My last PC next time I go Mac. This Vista AMD machine has been a piece of crap, worst I've ever owned.

too bad Obama didn't say no when Michelle got her pay raised from 100k to 300k because he sent some govt funds to her employer after he was elected state senator....

maybe the Illinois senate should have thrown Obama out for pay to play?
