Obama, Another Do As I Say Democrat

We know the all too familiar story by now. Democratic politicians tell us how we should run our lives and how we should do things and then they themselves do exactly what they say we should not be doing. We saw this recently with Al Gore, Mr. Global Warming, who does not practice what he preaches with regard to “being green.”
Illinois Senator Barack Obama was at a Town Hall meeting and he was discussing gas guzzlers. Obama told the crow they should opt for more fuel efficient vehicles:
He says part of the blame for the world’s higher temperatures rests on gas guzzling vehicles. Obama says consumers can make the difference by switching to higher mileage hybrids.
Today the Senator said, “It would save more energy, do more for the environment and create better world security than all the drilling we could do in Alaska.”
This is very noble and sounds real good, all touchy-feely. However, after the meeting Obama got in an SUV and drove off. His spokesperson said the vehicle was a Flexible Fuel Vehicle that used E85 (85% ethanol) and therefore, the Senator was practicing what he preached. Right, and I have a bridge for sale. Drudge has a link up and it appears that the GMC Envoy is not a FFV as claimed.
