Ironically, Barack now travels amidst a FLEET of SUVs (heh), serves $100 Wagyu steaks at White House cocktail parties (from cows whose flatulence creates massive carbon dioxide emissions), and has his thermostat adjusted according to whim.

Barack in Jan 09
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."
U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Daschle:
The people have no heat to warm their homes.

White House Chief of Staff Rohm Emmanuel:

Barack Antoinette:
Let them say "Yes we can"...

"Never lecture me again about global warming, Barack Obama",
