   And I just heard him last night chiding the mid-Atlantic region for school closings due to winter weather. He was yucking it up how they don’t close schools in Chicago blah blah blah. They are so tough.

   Let me just say that this is the northern stretch of the south and we don’t get that much snow, so the populace lacks the experience of snow drifts on the highways. One school bus crash and you’re up to your neck in liberal lawyers.

   We also like it warm, so shut up about global warming already. Schmuck.

   The next time some eco-freak or global warmer lectures you on your thermostat setting, you have your response.

   “The Great Leader has set the example for us all. We simply are emulating him.”

   PETA whines about our meat eating habits. Wagyu steak all around. The Great One approves.

    Oh yeah, we all well know that – every time the country has a crisis, a “3AM moment,” it’s off to Hawaii for Obama!

    Has or will he ever face up to the urgent issues facing this nation? It doesn’t look like he will. Right now, instead of focusing on the economy, terrorism or the state of moral decline in our nation, Obama’s picking a fight with Rush Limbaugh!

    Diversion, anyone?

    Right now, in Milwaukee, it’s 23º. Two weeks ago, we had temps and wind chills well below zero.

    I like to be warm, too, Mr. President. But you – and your eco-nut supporters – want me to keep my thermostat at temperatures that won’t keep me warm, then just tell me to put on an extra pair of socks and “deal with it.” You all don’t need me to remind you about the attempted California thermostat grab – where some politician eco bean counter would decide if your house was too warm or too cool…

    But Obama keeps things nice and toasty in the White House.

    You let one school bus slide off a bridge and see what you get. Every parent in the school district will be screaming for your blood. You will be defending against lawsuits from now until doomsday.

    b-cat – I agree that I do not want a kid getting hurt because a school was open when it should not have due to the weather.

    I like to poke fun at my sister-in-law who lived in Virginia for years before moving in with us here in the Chicago suburbs–she complains about the cold and I laugh. But I do understand that she is not used to it, so I do empathize.

    I think it is a rite that a visitor pokes fun at the locals dealing with the weather just like the locals poke fun at a visitor on how the deal with the weather. I am sure my step-brother thought it was hilarious the way I complained about the heat in Taiwan when I went to visit him in July a couple of years ago.

    And I hope Mr. Obama understands why the schools were closed and was just joking. If not, he is worse than I fear.

    From this link above:

    WHY COLIN POWELL DIDN’T SUPPORT McCAIN:

    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.

    And about that “He’s from Hawaii” crapola excuse, I thought he was from Chicago!! You know, the training ground for corruption.

    Good catch!

    As for Pres Obama, apparently he never watched “The Day After Tomorrow”, or perhaps he saw “Inconvenient Truth” and decided that he, for one, should not have to be “inconvenienced”. Let the rest of us worry about energy conservation.

    After all, that’s what most of the enviro-obsessed libs do.

    So, if PresO is cold in the Oval Office, why not skip the gym and do a couple pushups and situps before work to get his blood flowing?

    BTW, I’m from the northeast (dark blue country) and it usually takes about two weeks to adapt to colder temps. Being from Hawaii is a lame excuse for his blatant hypocrisy.

    So with that logic, if Sarah Palin winds up in the White House she would be perfectly within her rights to crank up the AC during those hot steamy D.C. summers. She’s from Alaska, right?

    You betcha (wink!)!

    Although, if SHE tried something like that, she would probably be hammered (again). The worst scandal since the RNC spent money on clothes that she didn’t ask them to buy for her! (Sorry, it still irks me that they made such a big friggin’ deal about that).

    This just goes to show, people–when these leftists hypocrites try to lecture you about the car you drive, or where you set your thermostat, just IGNORE IT! Just keep doing what you wish to do; because THEY are doing what they want to, as well.

    Because heating costs are so onerous here in the Northeast, we keep our home at 61 daytime and go down to 55, or a little lower at night. We don’t even heat the bedroom…stay snug under down blankets. Night time nature calls are shivvery and fast, with slippers at the bedside and socks on feet.

    I don’t care if the Obamessiah keeps the thermostat at 80, I just don’t want: 1)to be simultaneously lectured about “being green,” and 2) to be paying for Obama’s sumptuously consumptive heating bill when I’m, by necessity, scrimping on mine.

    Slimeball. Gore-hugging-hypocrite.

    67 during the day, 64 at night, and a BIG pile of throws with a large collections slipper socks.

    I’d go cooler at night, but we don’t have much of a night with my husband leaving for work at 2-3am and the rest of us getting up at 5:15am. And yes, we’re usually up doing homework, etc. until 11-midnight.

    Actually, I think she should keep the thermostat high and just wear less clothes. ;P

    But what about on the Big Island atop Mauna Loa or Mauna kea? I recall being pretty chilly in ranch country.

    It did snow up there recently – maybe within the 30 day period.

    I think you need to conserve some energy and start taking cold showers.

    “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.”

    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.

    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.)
