'Climate change' moralists are always talking about the need to take responsibility/set an example in the face of the imminent planetary apocalypse. Imagine my surprise, therefore, when I read this (in the New York Times):

WASHINGTON — 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.

Thermostat down, coat on, Mr. President: the planet's in peril (or so you tell us).

My grandmother-in-law lived in Hawaii much of her life and now cranks up her heater in the mainland up to the 80s as well.

Get that man a sweater!

Did your grandmother run for President on a platform that included telling Americans they needed to turn down their thermostats to fight climate change?

[JennysCool]

The Times article is just cover. A lot of people objected to the photo, saying not wearing a jacket showed the O was disrespecting the office. They had to make up something.

[aragona]

Ditto to everything said so far!!!!!!!!!

Get that man a sweater straightjacket!

Sorry had to fix that...

I still don’t follow the ‘logical explanation’...he was cold, so he turned up the thermostat, and then he took his coat off because he was hot?

It would be ‘logical’ tu just leave the thermostat alone and leave the coat on.

I think a more ‘logical’ explanation would be that he doesn’t like wearing a coat, and doesn’t seem to believe that the position requires wearing a coat.

The fawning media are bordering on Pravda stupid.

My dad lived most of his adult life in the Pacific Northwest and used to keep the thermostat down on 65 when we were kids.

Now He keeps in on 80 and wears a sweater. Old people’s ability to regulate their body temp wears out like everything else.

So then how the hell does he explain living in Chicago for 20+ years? The guy is an idiot if this remained true.

Reptiles need heat too.

In response to the 1973 OPEC oil embargo,
President Jimmy Carter (1977-1981)
created the Department of Energy in 1977,
with a key goal being the establishment of a
national energy policy that promoted clean
and alternative fuels. Carter famously
installed solar panels on the White House
roof and set the mansion's thermostats at 68
degrees to save energy.

We all knew that this would happen. Although, I am surprised to find it reported.

For thee, but not for me.

Same thing about private school vouchers.
