Do as I say, not as I do

Pitching his message to Oregon’s environmentally-conscious voters during the campaign for President, Obama called on the United States to “lead by example” on global warming, and develop new technologies at home which could be exported to developing countries.

“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.”


Now why isn't the President wearing a suit coat? Hmmm...well the New York Times had the answer to that....



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.”

So I can't eat all I want & be warm all the time? You're uh...kind of a hypocrite there now aren't you Mr. President.
