Never lecture me again about global warming, Barack Obama.

The NYT reports, like it's all about fashion and personal style:

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.?
