It seems that not too long ago the candidate Obama said this:
Everyone on board so far?
Well now it seems that he is in the lap of luxury cranking the thermostat up to around 80 degrees while telling the rest of us that doing so is "not leadership".
I wonder if other countries are saying "Okay."

Obama hasn't lived in Hawaii for many years so that excuse won't wash. I wonder what ever happened to "That's not going to happen."
He has apparently also brought with him a "casual Friday every day" attitude and doesn't show up in the Oval Office until 9AM. Every business that has a "casual Friday every day" attire policy has seen a decrease in work ethic due to a "casual Friday every day" attitude.
I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens to the work ethic in the business of running the government. I am betting on "not pretty".
"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, 'Okay.' That's not leadership. That's not going to happen."

White House Unbuttons Formal Dress Code

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.”
