But I can't quite sign on board with the idea that it's "textbook hypocrisy" for a President of the United States to travel like....the President of the United States, no matter what he is going to be talking about. Unless all business for his term will be conducted directly out of the White House with no travel...it's not really realistic to expect the President of the entire United States to not be out travelling the entire United States.
Though as others have said, expecting the President of the United States to show up for work? That's reasonable (though while typing...not quite sure how we ended up there in this thread).

It has nothing to do with the trip, the hypocrisy lies in the purpose of the trip. I know the President must travel but he doesn't have to go joy riding especially when trying to preach Green.
Al Gore is just a buffoon who's essence is hypocrisy and lies. But I feel a little sorry for him as a child must 'make believe' if he/she is raised in a hotel. At least we know he's generous with charity. LOL
