"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," Obama said.

"That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added.

Oh boy, lots to comment on:

“He shows up at the Oval Office shortly before 9 in the morning, roughly two hours later than his early-to-bed, early-to-rise predecessor.” 9 AM? Bush was usually in by 630.

“He reads several papers, eats breakfast with his family and helps pack his daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, off to school” That part is cool. He seems to be a good dad.

“The chance to be under the same roof with his kids, essentially to live over the store, to be able to see them whenever he wants, to wake up with them, have breakfast and dinner with them — that has made him a very happy man.” Must be nice.

“Under Mr. Bush, punctuality was a virtue. Meetings started early — the former president once locked Secretary of State Colin L. Powell out of the Cabinet Room when Mr. Powell showed up a few minutes late — and ended on time. In the Obama White House, meetings start on time and often finish late.” That’s hilarious.
If Mr. Obama’s clock is looser than Mr. Bush’s, so too are his sartorial standards. Over the weekend, Mr. Obama’s first in office, his aides did not quite know how to dress. Some showed up in jeans (another no-no under Mr. Bush), some in coats and ties.

“Mr. Obama gets the “president’s daily brief” on Sundays as well, though unlike his predecessor, he does not necessarily put it first on his agenda. “ That is BS. Not only is he in almost three hours later than GWB, but he pushes the PDB back to, oh-whenever-o’clock.

Shows how seriously he takes national security.

GWB wearing a coat and tie was a show of respect for the office he held.

The magic marxist doesn’t respect(or love for that matter) the country so he certainly isn’t going to show respect for the office he’s occupying.

“Draconian”?
What idiot wrote that headline?

Some idiot whose editor believes in casual Fridays 7 days a week?

But Mr. Obama tends to roam the halls

He didn't really attend school in Chicago, did he?

One more reason his position on this is ridiculous. We go to the Island for 2 weeks every two years. Once home in Washington state, we freeze for a couple of weeks and the body adjusts.

Obama is even a failure on this explanation.

Oh, perhaps when he said his administration was going to be more transparent, he just meant they were going to dress down for work.

In Draco's code the death penalty was prescribed for even the smallest offenses.

This could explain what happened to Vince Foster.

White after Labor Day? Socks with sandals? Pants too high?

Does he actually do anything?

No. He is nothing more than a figurehead -- the machine hands him the script and he reads it.

Sad thing is -- I'm not sure he knows that he is just a front man.

I just heard the nuanced and well spoken Obama say on TV “...the American people know we have a big hole to dig out of...”

Another Dem looking to China for answers. Maybe I’ll take my jacket off, too.

Duane, check with Mr.H and ask him: what’s the first rule for when you find you have dug yourself into a hole.
