This new president, Mr. Hussein Obama, who promises us energy independence and development of new energy technologies, keeps the Oval Office so hot, "you could grow orchids in there."

I'd like to make a little wager that two years from now, his approval ratings will be lower than President Bush's.

How can anyone rail at us to "sacrifice" for our country and also make long, flowery speeches about the importance of energy independence and then crank up the heat because he doesn't like it cold?

Stinkin' hypocrite.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'M')r Obama's sartorial standards are looser than Mr Bush's. The report said the US capital "flew into a bit of a tizzy" when, on his first full day in the White House, Mr Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without his suit jacket. There was, however, a logical explanation, the paper found: Mr Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat.

"He's from Hawaii, OK?" Mr Axelrod told the paper. "He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there."

That put an end to a rule of Mr Bush's administration -- coat and tie in the Oval Office at all times.

Jimmy Carter was honest enough to turn down the White House thermostat and put on a sweater before asking his fellow Americans to follow his lead and conserve energy.

In contrast, Barrack Obama pumps up the White House thermostat into the 80s so he is nice and warm and toasty, and then he tells Americans they must turn down their thermostats and use less energy.

BO could get away with this kind of hypocrisy in Illinois, where the polticians are corrupt and the press is their lapdog, but on the national stage Obama just looks like a dope when he gets caught at this kind of stupidity.

Is there no landlord thermostat control in public housing?

So Earl Butz was right?

Seriously, just go stand out in the street and scream

"N####r! N####r! N####r! N####r! N####r!"

Get it out of your system. You'll feel better.

A simple solution. The White House is now owned by him. It is owned by the citizens of the United States of America. Any setting over 68 degrees should come out of his salary. Every other American has to pay for the're heating and cooling, why should he get a free ride.
