So this is the same President that 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."
Got it. Also, this was one of the most memorable quotes of the campaign, so why didn't the NYT story reference his obvious hypocrisy here?
On second thought, don't answer that.
So then how the hell does he explain living in Chicago for 20+ years? The guy is an idiot if this remained true.
at least we know he's not entirely like Jimmy Carter.
In response to the 1973 OPEC oil embargo,
President Jimmy Carter (1977-1981)
created the Department of Energy in 1977,
with a key goal being the establishment of a
national energy policy that promoted clean
and alternative fuels. Carter famously
installed solar panels on the White House
roof and set the mansion's thermostats at 68
degrees to save energy.LINK:

“Well, there has to be room for a reasonable exception.” /s
For thee, but not for me.
Same thing about private school vouchers.
The liberal hypocrisy just never ends,
bttt for excellent dumbo photo!
Democrat = Hypocrite (a logical Identity)
The problem isn't whether or not he wears a coat indoors, or whether or not he turns up the thermostat. If it was me, I'd turn up the heat and take off my coat.
The problem is the hypocrisy, the endless passing judgement on people for living their lives as they wish, when you yourself also want to be able to live your life as you wish.
I don't care if Gore has an enormous palace, and pays $2500 a month for electricity, good for him. I don't care if the Dem elite want to fly private jets every where they go, again, good for them. Its their money, they should spend it as they wish. I care, though, when these same people want to hector the rest of us about our electric bills, and preach to the rest of us about what we drive.
Biggest difference between a conservative and a Dem? The conservative wants the freedom to make his own choices, and he's willing to grant you the same respect. He expects to pay the cost of his own choices, and he expects you to do the same. The Dem wants the freedom to make his own choices, and he wants power over you. And he wants you to pay for it coming and going.
The Dems have learned that the easiest way to manipulate people is by manipulating their guilt. Thats mostly what all this is about. If you can make someone feel guilty about every breath they take, every morsel of food they eat, every watt they consume, every moment of every day brings that nagging feeling that this planet is dying because of something they are doing, you can then offer yourself as absolution. Thats the game.
The blood of an apartment dweller. Someone else is paying for the heat.
Turn the heat up when you want someone to stay..turn the heat down when you want them to leave..shortly. Those from the South won't take the cold..those from the North won't like the heat, but will adapt more to either.
George Bush NEVER took his jacket off in the oval office. He
had more respect for this place and office than Hussein ever could have!
“Hypocrite” is right where the Zero is concerned!
As Glenn “InstaPundit” Reynolds says,
I’ll start acting like it’s a crisis, once the people who SAY it’s a crisis, start acting like it’s a crisis.
LOL. Nothing like a leader that demands one standard of the people, but indulges in another for himself and his cronies.
It’s good to be the King.
I thought he was from Chicago and DC folks are just a bunch of wimps for not going to school on an icy day.
What a bastard.
I am passing this around in my email, the MSM will never call him on it like they would a Republican.
DRIVE HIS NUMBERS DOWN PEOPLE! Get to work!
