Obama’s actions don’t match his words

Someone please explain the following: At the United Nations summit, President Barack Obama stated “all must do their part” to combat global warming, yet he takes his wife on a date to a Broadway show that included “a jet to New York, a helicopter and motorcade to a restaurant, and a procession of vehicles through Manhattan to Broadway.” There are the numerous trips all over the country to appear on talk shows.
Al Gore's mansion uses more energy in one month than the average U.S. home uses in a year.
If these people really believed what they're trying to force down the rest of us, would they not act differently?
Obama claims to be Christian, yet demanded the cross and all other (Christian) religious emblems be covered before his (April) speech at Georgetown University. However, he praises Islam as being “a great religion”- one that calls for the destruction of “infidels,” who include Bible-believing Christians.
Obama states he does not necessarily want a public option for health care, yet the Democratic plan would make it impossible for private insurance to compete, thus forcing the government option on us.
Latest and most frightening is Obama's betrayal of Israel, our greatest ally, and his cozying up to Palestinians and Iranians who teach their children “Death to America.” Then there's Obama's connection to ACORN.
Please look at what these people actually do rather than what they say. I believe this is the most evil and dangerous administration in our nation's history.
