Some Like it Hot
Some, in this case, being President Obama. The noted advocate of sacrifice to protect the planet from the scourge of global warming simply can't be bothered to change his own habits.
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.As Ed at Hot Air points out, this is the same guy who told the rest of us that "we can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times..." during the campaign.
Predictably, the media isn't pointing out the obvious contrast between what Obama says and what Obama does. Sure, we pick on Carter for good reason, but at least he had the decency to wear a sweater.

I particularly love how they let him pass on "being from Hawaii". He hasn't lived in a year-round warm climate since he was about 20. He's spent more than has his life living in Harvard, with stops in NYC and Boston along the way - not "hot tropical spots" for sure.

Are we surprised that he is a complete hypocrite?
Are we surprised that elite socialists never do without. Thus the reason why Communism and Marxism thrived for so long. People loved giving up every choice, every freedom, every iota just so that their masters could have it all.

Plus, this from the man that poked fun at us in D.C. for the little bit of snow and it was all schools closed, everybody late to work or off. Then it was all, Oh, I'm from Chicago, so we're used to snow, you guys can't handle it.
So, obviously, you can claim to be from wherever to suit whatever!! Oh, wait, that's right, he IS a democrat.

Obama, ever the astute visionary, is merely getting ahead of the curve in preparing himself for the coming effects of global warming.
