Obama's New Ride Rocks the Web

by Mike Krumboltz

Barack Obama has a big job ahead of him with a lot of responsibility and stress. Fortunately, there are perks, like a custom-built car that oozes machismo. Prototype photos of the president-elect's new limousine have hit the Web, and it makes Ah-nold's old Hummer look like a Miata.

An article from CNN explains that the car is technically a Cadillac. However, it has a lot more… » Full Story on Yahoo! Buzz Log

I think he needs to focus on what he preaches

too bad the UAW is part of the Auto problems and thats a fact. $76/hour including benefits compared to $48/hour including benefits thats a fact. not to mention the 6 billion a year that GM wastes giving their laidoff EX-employees unemployment benefits ON TOP OF the unemployment that they recieve from the government. Lets do the math these laid off people are getting X amount from the goverment through unemployment(my taxes)+ Bailout money GM is getting(my taxes)- GM wastful handout to laidoff workers(my money that was wastfully given to GM)= the hard working people get f*****. Nothing is too big to fail

quite honestly the point of the car is not it's big or fuel efficient, but that it can protect the president from bullets, mortar's, or whatever some idiot tries to shoot at him while he's in it.

Well just another thing that shows Obama is just like other politicians, hes two faced and will do whats best for him and evidently it appears hes not quite as popular as the media would have us to think seeing as to how he needs all this protection. Also everyone needs to look at the new hate crimes legislation hes backing it includes infringement on freedom of speach you need to write your reprsenatives the left wing is trying to trample our rights again in the name of they know whats best for us! hed have us sacrifice but he will not do it himself man I am already sorry I voted for this guy he is scaring the crap out of me and everyone I know!!

Seriously? the point is that there are plenty of people who would have no qualms about attempting to kill him. In this case, the thickness and weight of the car is for protection. This is not exactly a "driving a Hummer to daycare and work" situation.

Clearly the presidential limo is about protection. Obama's family car until becoming president has been a Ford Escape Hybrid.

Forget about the car! I think the people talking about their regrets (in regards to their vote for Obama) is very sad! The man is not even in office yet! Give him a chance to fix Bush's mess's! and Freedom of Speech (is that like Fox News?)! I think this country needs a Common Sense Law and an anti-stupid clause!

You are all morons. You all ruined this country for voting for the idiot. He's not an idiot because he's black. He's an idiot because he doesn't have any clue what he's doing, he's naive, he's irrational, he's UNPATRIOTIC, as is his low life wife. WHY DID YOU IDIOTS ELECT SOMEONE UNPATRIOTIC TO RUN OUR COUNTRY???? I'm sure that your fathers, grandfathers, and anyone else that you know who fought to keep this country free is ashamed of you. Look in the mirror and say the pledge of allegience. Oh wait, you can't because you just broke that pledge.

I think this is disgraceful. He was voted in for this? So far, he's done NOTHING to show "change"! His protection my a**! Why can't he just use Bush's old limo and RECYCLE?????
Besides that, now he wants Sanjay Gupta as Surgeon General? Are you kidding me? They guy works for CNN!!!!! CNN! I can't believe it! That's the LOUSIEST and most biased news channel out there! Whatever! The country is already in trouble and he hasn't even been sworn in yet. I'm just bracing for the worst.

I think that with all the haters in this world after he became president and even before he blew mccain out of the water he should be driving a tank around.

I'm patriotic, I don't care whether it's a liberal,republican, democrat, conservative or whatever. As far as I'm concerned everyone should respect our president and treat him with decency. All presidents make mistakes, some of them are big and some small. I don't blame him for getting basically an armored tank. He's the first black president, someone is probably going to target him. I think it's awesome a black president got elected. It says a lot about our country.

For those who are unhappy about Obama being president... don't worry. The Bush family is preparing yet ANOTHER idiot for office- Jeb. Dubya did worse than his father, I'm sure his brother will top him.

First off, people really need to go back to school and learn to spell. Secondly, all of you idiots that voted for Obama can now sit back, shut the hell up, and wait for the idiot to destroy what's left of our country and our freedoms. As all of us working class people work 60+ hours a week to support illegals as well as drug addicted criminals that eat better than we do, you all sit back, enjoy that jelly sandwich that I bought for you in the kitchen of the apartment that I'm assisting you in paying for, and feel the self stupidity that you deserve for the next 4 years

It seems he's to live one way and WE the PUBLIC are to live another way. I do understand he's to be protected(not assassinated, GOD forbid) but he seems to not know what $$$$$$$$'s mean to the COMMON person. Everything he does is in excess and this doesn't settle well with some of us AMERICANS. Roger & Marty
