Obama’s thermostat setting: “He likes it warm;” Prediction: Mrs. Obama will shop for cardigans today

Looks like another case of more “shared sacrifice” for thee, but not for He.
After lecturing us all to turn down our thermostats to “72 degrees at all times” on the campaign trail, The One moves into the White House and promptly cranks up the heat to tropical temperatures! (Hat tip – Ed Morrissey)
Ain’t that special:
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.”
And then he has the nerve to lecture East Coasters to toughen up over the winter weather?
Love the smell of orchids heavy with the scent of eco-hypocrisy…
Wonder what the temp was at the cocktail party last night?
***
It’s hard to crusade for “green” this and “green” that with the thermostat at 77 degrees, don’t you think. I predict Mrs. Obama will be shopping ASAP for some Jimmy Carter-style cardigans to rectify Obama’s eco-hypocrisy. Copy it well, Michelle:

I guess she better check if her purchases are okay with the black designers association first, though.

At least I can say “well the “green” president does it so STFU” when they whine about my SUV or warm house in the winter.
Good grief, that reminds me of an Italian politician…
It did snow up there recently – maybe within the 30 day period.
Dexter Alarius said:
I think you need to conserve some energy and start taking cold showers.
Proof positive: he’s a hot-house flower.
While he did eventually move to Hawaii, it has been a very long time since he lived there. He has lived in Chicago…a VERY cold part of the cou prior to launching his campaign. During this time, Der Fuhrer should have acclimated to any and all of these other environments.
This is my daughter’s second Winter here after living for 14 years in Indiana, suffering through ice storms, blizzards, sub-zero Winter temperatures etc. While last Winter she was not in need of a heavy coat here, it did not take long before she was complaining about the cold here, as well as the 68 degrees I keep the house. (Can’t afford the 200% PG&E annual Winter rate hikes), as well as this year when she went back for Christmas and was freezing getting off the plane to -12 degree wind chill in Indy.
I understand that Der Fuhrer has very thin skin, but to use the excuse that he is from Hawaii and thus is immune to living up to the way of living that he dictates to the rest of the country does nothing more than make him out to be a whiney little b***h that we all know him to be.
He needs to suck it up and live like the rest of us or shut up about the way other people live their life. Personally, I would prefer the latter.
I can’t criticize anyone…I feel too guilty.
I had a carbonated drink today and the bubbles of carbon dioxide kept bursting into the air, polluting it for my children and Michelle Obama’s. Can someone please point me towards one of Gore’s kiosks so I may ease my shae???
should have read “…ease my shame???”
Oh, and as for the difference between using Der Führer and Das Führer, either could be used, since Der is the masculine form of “the” and Das is the neutral form. Sometimes, he is not actually being all that masculine, thus I have used both in the past, but for the sake of argument and possibly rubbing someones pet peeve, I will use the masculine form from now on…but reserve the feminine form should the need arise.
Thanks though. (no, that was not to be taken as being snotty, legitimate thanx.)
The Messiah is a bag of bones. He has no meat on his body. He is a girlyman!
Maybe his wife will buy him some heated socks and some hand warmers. Geesh enough hot air comes out of his mouth to cause global warming. LMAO
68 when we’re home – 60 at night. And that’s here in MA. It was 14 degrees outside when I left for work this morning.
We wear sweaters, warm socks and have extra blankets on the beds. (And a throw on the sofa for cozy TV watching).
The gas bill was still $450 last month. So how much is it costing the US tax payer to “grow orchids in the Oval Office.”?
I keep my temp at 68 all the time even though it kills my osteoarthritis in my back, knees, and shoulder…nice to know dear leader is toasty and warm while millions of Americans don’t have the luxury of spending that kind of money on silly things like heat for their homes and keep have to keep their thermostats lower. Doesn’t it just make you fell all warm and fuzzy….NOT
geeze I can’t type this morning…working on the laptop rather than the desktop…
sorry…
What a jerk…
I believe he would say, “I won, so I get to do what I want.” I’d bet my mortgage he said something to that effect and is smoking in the Oval Office, or wherever he pleases.
After all, he doesn’t plan on leaving so it’s not like the odor will be a problem for the next POTUS.
