Add President Obama's name to the ever-growing list of global-warming hypocrites.
During the campaign, Obama made no bones about where he stood on the question of energy and global warming:"We can't drive our SUVs and . . . keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times . . . and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK."
Obviously, a president gets a necessary pass on driving in a big (i.e., safe) car.
But it turns out that Obama keeps the Oval Office at near-tropical heat levels. The New York Times reports that he doesn't wear a suit jacket at his desk because he has "cranked up the thermostat."
Explained adviser David Axelrod:"He's from Hawaii, OK? He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there."
So would the rest of us, if we could afford it.
But talk about "Do as I say, not as I do."
Mr. President, how 'bout you turn down the heat - and borrow one of Jimmy Carter's old cardigans?
