HUH?

Jan 29, 2009: "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.'”

Feb 1, 2009: WASHINGTON DC -- After his daughters got a snow day Wednesday, President Barack Obama "We're going to have to try some flinty, Chicago toughness to this town."

I guess that "flinty, Chicago toughness" only applies to people outside the White House.

HOPE AND CHANGE

The Obama administration bills itself as one of "Hope and Change" and I certainly agree -- I Hope I survive the Change.

Based on his Cabinet appointments (Lynn at Defense; Geithner at Treasury; Daschle at Health and Human Services), however, I think a better motto would be "Hypocrisy and Crooks."
