We Can't Just...Oh, Wait, Yes We Can!

Barack Obama in a campaign speech in Oregon on May 16, 2008:

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

"That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added.

Barack Obama in the White House on January 29, 2009:

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."

Can anyone say 'two sets of rules'?

Change!  CHANGE, DAMMIT, CHANGE!


There's my two cents.
