| Remember This When Obama Goes Off on "Global Warming" |
| 2009-01-30 |
| 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. In a visit to the Capitol on Tuesday, Mr. Obama surprised his former Senate colleagues by stopping to talk to reporters. "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." Not sure how the NY Slimes allowed this to be in the lead paragraphs, but have at it, 'burgers! |

| #6 I think it was the days of -30 degrees (F) ambient temperature at Fort Drum that taught me what real cold was about. I volunteered for Korea to get to a warmer climate, and it was. |

| #5 I grew up in Buffalo, NY. Cold and snow are lovely outside, and we dressed for it, but inside my father kept the house at about 76F, even during the oil embargo. How do Chicagoans handle their winter situation? |

| #4 The ONE is not from Hawaii; he's from Chicago on Jan 28, the ONE lectured the DC school system and said they needed to be tougher and not close for 2" of snow and ice. |

| #1 Let's play "Who said this?"... "We canÂ’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... ThatÂ’s not leadership. ThatÂ’s not going to happen,". I'll wait. |
