Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

I don't think she made it up.  Since I read the article too.  I just didn't see how high the thermostat was set.  Only that it was warm enough to grow orchids.  So I looked to see what the temp was for growing orchids, and it would appear to me...there is quite the range of temps there.   Warm in the winter for me is 80 degrees.  And if I could adjust the kerosene heaters to insure I could be that warm. I would.  I still feel cold at 68 degrees and hate being anywhere that people have their temps set at that.

Well since there was no temperature setting given and orchids do grow at such a range, what would lead one to the conclusion that it was necessarily warmer?  Having had several orchids growing and blooming in my own home during the past winter, I can assure you they do quite well in cooler temperatures.  When the weather turned warmer and we put them outside, they died.

Do I detect just a tiny bit of envy that Bush is able to afford such a fine home?  The ranch a sham...what a joke!

He should be in a prison cell, but no one cares where, or how else, he lives.  The ranch WAS a sham.  He bought it just before his election in 2000 and sold it on his way out the door.  It was a prop to make him look like a cowboy (that reagan thing), but the dip shit was even afraid of horses.  Cowboy?  You betcha!

She makes it up as she goes along.   :rolleyes:

Funny.  All I recall about the obama's coming to DC was that their claim that the people in the DC area were real wusses when it came to the cold; compared to how cold Chicago is.  I seriously doubt the thermostat story as just more bullshit from the rightwing racists that continue to make shit up about obama and continue their teabagging of America.

Should we get over Charles Manson's crimes as well?  Should the world 'get over' Hitler?

Excuse me but the Huffington Post is anything but a right wing publication in case you hadn't noticed.

You're the one trying to make some sort of inane point over a couple of degree difference in the setting of the temperature in the White House.   :rolleyes:

I would still like to know what the temp setting is.  Really.   I get the holy hell screamed at me when I set a thermostat on 84, which where I'm the MOST comfortable in the winter.   I'm not lying either. LOL
Looks like I've come full circle.

The point is he was asking us to conserve and had the heat up high enough in the White House to be in shirt sleeves and for the media to take notice.  For him to make reference to being from Hawaii it only stands to reason it was darn sure above what he was asking us to set ours at.  To me it was an in your face you should put on more clothes and turn your thermostat down but I can set mine where I want to 'cause I'm President.  He is no better than I am even if he happens to be president.  He's just a person not a god.

Hmmm.  I would wonder why it's a must that you have to wear a jacket in your work place. Why you should have to wear a jacket where you live?  Wearing a jacket is not all that comfortable all the time. 

I know....the taxpayers are paying the heating bill.  That's an argument I wouldn't dispute.  But at the same time, sounds like they were talking about one office.  Setting the temperature up a couple of degrees in ONE office probably didn't raise the bill much at all.  But I suppose someone could have suggested installing a small wood burning stove in there, and making it warmer that way.  Heck then he could turn off the electric/gas heat completely. 

We used to heat a whole house with a single wood burning stove in the living room.  And guess what, it was around 80 degrees, hotter when I cut up that Christmas tree and threw it in there.   Dang, Pine burns hot.
Looks like I've come full circle.

I think we should tear down the White House, pull a double wide up PA Avenue, and scrap the presidential limo for a 1993 Honda accord--teal green--so the President can be just like the rest of us.
