Obama’s eco-hypocrisy gets a new paint job

Al Gore may have set the standard for eco-hypocrisy, but Barack Obama is raising the bar by giving his chartered jet a shiny new paint job.

Barack Obama’s campaign unveiled a sparkling makeover for his chartered plane on Sunday, ahead of the presumptive Democratic nominee’s high-profile tour of the Middle East and Europe.

The remodelled Boeing 757 jet, dubbed “Obama One” is painted blue and white and sports the Illinois senator’s distinctive rising sun logo on its tail and bears his slogan “Change We Can Believe In” along each side.

Apparently that “change” refers to the energy habits of regular Americans and isn’t intended for the high and mighty.

After all, it was just a few months ago that the Obamessiah was lecturing all of us on our energy consumption.

Pitching his message to Oregon’s environmentally-conscious voters, Obama called on the United States to “lead by example” on global warming…

“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 OK,” Obama said.

“That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added.
