Saving the environment

Can anybody tell me why our new President feels the need to fly everywhere to give speeches he doesn't really need to give? Or why in all of Washington D.C. and the top chefs in our country (who are working at the White House) cannot provide a romantic meal for the first couple for Valentine's day that they have to fly to Chicago for a meal? What happened to his promise of saving the environment? Or was that just for us peons? A "do as I say, not as I do" kind of thing. So far I have seen nothing of his gallivanting around the country at the drop of hat that shows me he is serious about saving money, saving fuel, not wasting resources, or taking advantage of his office. Just because you can fly to the Windy City for meal doesn't mean you should. A little more restraint and common sense would go a long way to convince skeptics that maybe he is putting his money where his mouth is. So far, the only money I've seen him save is... oh wait, he isn't. And, with this joke of a stimulus package going into effect, no one will be saving money. What a complete sham.
