Can you pay my heating bills Obama?
Remember when you said the following?
"“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."
You were here in Oregon. How come now that you are in the White House you cranked the heat up so much that your advisor said you could grow an orchid in there?
[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.”] here's the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/29/us/politics/29whitehouse.html?_r=3
We keep our heat at a chilly 63 degrees during the day and 59 at night. Yes we are cold but we can't afford to heat otherwise. Have you heard of sweaters? We wear several. And slippers too.
Lead by example? Not so much. I need to get up and do something active because my nose is cold from sitting around.

My husband sent me this link the other day. I just got around to reading it and thought you would find it interesting as well.

I kinda giggled when I read that most of these "stimulus packages" were geared toward the Democratic special interests groups. Ummm.... wasn't Mr. Obama against all that while running for office???
Flip flopping politicians are the best ever! Grrrr....
We keep it pretty cold too. One morning I saw my breath in the kitchen by the back door! I can't wait till summer!
