And could this be the same Barack Obama who is looking to sign a stimulus bill that would spend billions of dollars installing millions of “smart meters” that would enable your power company to prevent you from being as comfortable as he is on hot and cold days?

While our new president is warm-and-toasty in the Oval Office, is he considering the plight of Michigan’s Marvin Schur, a 93-year World War II veteran, who was recently found frozen to death courtesy of a malfunctioning electricity “limiter” device installed by his power company?

Change has come to Washington. Elitism is dead. Long live elitism.

Hey, he’s eating $100/pound steak, why not?

Right now there are close to 1M people shivering in the dark from that ice storm, meanwhile Obama sits toasty in the oval office planning his super bowl party.

He needs to get about 10-million letters saying, "We will turn down our thermostats when YOU DO.".

A lot of black people I have worked with are very cold natured, I don't think it has anything to do with Hawaii...after all, it's probably hotter in Kenya.

Amyone who is willing to work so hard to financially enslave us and our grandchildren by building our debt to the criminal bankers....

deserves to be warm and toasty.

These things we know of SillyPutty:
1.Chicago is colder than DC but his alleged birth place is
Hawaii.
2. His pick of raising dissent is to battle with El Rushbo
3. He’s amazed that DC,MD & VA have school days off because of snow & ice and it’s not like Chicago ergo determination to develop the nation’s capitol to “flintiness”
4.Declares there’s too much “secrecy” witihin operational government yet has failed in his own transparency.
5. Keeps predicting doom and gloom for nationwide economy

What a Wonderful Week!/sarc

Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat.

Hey Mr. Green president you are suppose to turn down the thermostat and put on your jacket. Jimmy Carter, your idol, said wear a sweater.

Hypocrisy indeed.

How long did he live in Chicago? How long does it take to acclimate from warm Hawaii to cold Chicago?

Why shouldn't he crank up the heat. He's not paying the utility bill!!

Just imagine what the Press would do if Pres Bush 'cranked up the heat' in the Oval Office??

He cranks the Oval Office up to 77 - and we pay that bill.

Yet he intends to restrict how high we can put our thermostats, with no regard to different circumstances like children, the ill and the elderly.

But the new king will have his set at 77 thank you - too hot for a suit jacket.

Isn't that going to be lovely for all the poor statesmen and visiting dignitaries?

If people don't get a clue as to what Socialism is about - passing laws that control YOUR every move, but that they are exempt from - nothing will.

I haven't watched TV news since Nov - are the media bringing this one more example of total hypocrisy up?

At least Jimmy Carter had the decency to wear a sweater. Over the next 4 years, we’re going to find that Obama makes Carter and Clinton look like saints.

Hussein is just 'stimulating the economy' in the DC area by turning up the heat.

Not to worry, the utility companies in DC can use the extra revenue (from us taxpayers, of course).

zero is more and more an impossible entity.

I hate the cold and there's no way you could get me to visit Chicago for longer than a week, let alone live there ... let alone ORGANIZE there.

Doesn't community organizer conjur up images of door to door, store-front offices, I know what you're going through, we have no heat too, and some etcetera's if I continue to ponder this.?

There are two explanations that I can accept.

zero's never been all that he's been written up to be ... or he is truly psychotic, braving the cold and windy city, fighting and stealing his way to the white house, so he can rub his hands and Snidely Whiplash laugh at all us minions.

I predict zero will limit it's public appearances as it becomes more exposed, and our government will be a defacto shadow government.

He’s such a POS. That POS cares about one person, HIMSELF. Where’s the dog his kids have been asking to have for years? He hasn’t lived in Hawaii in over 20 years and was there for a few years when he was young. Hawaii doesn’t have squat to do with being cold. It’s because he’s s skinny little wimp.

Hey everyone!

Let's all send a sweater to the Oval Office. (Doesn't have to be a new one - pick one up at Salvation Army - we gotta be thrifty, right?)

If the one who would be king suddenly got swamped with sweaters, that would make a comical news story the press wouldn't be able to resist.

They would include the video of his preaching to us about “you can't have your thermostats at 72, you can't eat all you want to...”

Another layer of sheeple would open an eye... and

(Someone, whose middle name must not again be mentioned, would be livid.)

He might have gotten away with shirt sleeves in the summer — on the basis of turning off the AC to save energy.

It makes no sense, whatsoever, to say that he had to take his jacket off, because he was feeling cold and had to crank up the heat.

Then, he had the audacity (without hope) to crack wise about Washingtonians delaying the opening of schools in a deadly ice storm — saying they needed to toughen up. (Imagine if Bush had joked about Katrina.)

All intelligent people who hate the cold and know how to use simple logic choose to live in places like Chicago. < /sarcasm >

“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.”

Zer0 is the President now so I take it seriously. My thermostat's at 74, my truck is bigger and gets worse mileage than an SUV and now I eat more than I want to.
