Man-Made Climate Change/Warming in The Obama Oval Office–A Moral Imperative? An Honest Conversation? Nay, It Is Very Cold Outside
Glenn Beck—The Obama Hypocrisy Continues
Obama discusses global warming at the ABC Debate in IA
The only reason President Obama brings up global warming is that global warming or climate change is the “story” used to justify more taxes in the form of cap and trade and more government regulation of cars.
The majority of the American people believe that man does not cause global warming.
The American people are unwilling to pay higher prices for goods and services should a carbon tax or a cap and trade tax ever be implemented.
Now if the President were serious, he would not only lower the temperature to 72 in the Oval Office but also cut the White House staff to that President Roosevelt had. Better yet President Lincoln had a very small staff, I believe it was 2 and not 1,700 plus.
Chapter II:
Running the White House
“…Early in his term, a new President must make a series of important decisions, including designating his principal aides and determining the structure of his administration that includes the 400 to 500 members of the White House staff as well as 1,200 to 1,300 staff members housed in the Executive Office of the President. …”

Obama announces pay freeze
Cut the staff down from 1,700 to 250 and I might be impressed.
The pay freeze is a joke.
Big deal.

The Age of Obama: Heat for me, but not for thee
by Ed Morrissey
“…Last week, Barack Obama caused quite a stir when he allowed himself to be photographed in the Oval Office without wearing a suit jacket, ending the Bush tradition of coat-and-tie for the West Wing. The New York Times reports on how Obama made that possible during a colder-than-usual Washington winter. All Obama did was turn up the thermostat to Hawaii hothouse levels:
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.”
Thus did a rule of the George W. Bush administration — coat and tie in the Oval Office at all times — fall by the wayside, only the first of many signs that a more informal culture is growing up in the White House under new management. Mr. Obama promised to bring change to Washington and he has — not just in substance, but in presidential style.
And thus did the Times fall down on the job yet again in the Age of Obama …”
