I’m showing my age.

I’ll bet BO’s stench can be smelled all the way out to the Azores.

Hilarious schtick.

Appropos of the Kenyan Klown.

Hillary..."Just one more and I'll have a BINGO!"

[al baby]

I wonder how many will get that reference

This is it, custom for Obammy's pimpin', delivered for his inauguration, based on GM's commercial truck platform, not even based on a car as previous limos were.

The Caddie limo is a diesel? Interesting.

What's in the White House Garage? The Presidential Limo

The Detroit News says the heavy limo could be built on GM's medium-duty truck platform. They also note, "Cadillac has disclosed in the past that the limo has a 10-disc CD player and hand-stitched leather interiors." Reportedly, Cadillac One weighs way over 5,000 pounds, goes from zero to sixty in a leisurely 15 seconds, and has a top speed of just 60 mph. But eight-inch thick ballistic armored doors, hermetically-sealed windows of five-inch thick bulletproof glass, and a five-inch thick armor plate underneath make it more impervious to blasts than many tanks. According to the AP, the Secret Service has appropriately nicknamed the new car "The Beast."

8 tons worth of rolling thunder..

That thing probably weighs more like 15,000 lbs. Which, as the article mentions, is way more than 5,000 lbs. (my wife’s minivan weighs that much).

Jonesing for a smoke. I bet you are right!

Well...as long as he is president...he gets to ride in our car. These Euro-Weenies can stick it. Personally...I am not going to throw O under the bus for riding in it since if this was a republican...I would want the same protection.

I ESPECIALLY want BHO riding in this thing...SAFE from harm. The last thing I want is for him to be some type of martyr. I prefer him to leave office in shame...Jan 20th, 2013...after setting a record for least number of electoral votes won (3...DC).

He might not actually be a hypocrite in this case.

Renewable energy would bankrupt his Muslim allies. That’s the last thing Obama wants.

I have no problem with the Beast. Like it or not he’s “our” President (and I definitely do not like it) and he’s entitled to the protection any POTUS would receive.

That said, I find it fascinating that the Euro-weenies who were peeing their pants in joy over Zero’s election are now criticizing. How far the “mighty” has fallen!

[JimmyMc]

Guess the “beast’ says a lot about the popularity of our current president compared to those of the past.
The Secret Service must feel that there are people all over ht eworld that mean Barack harm. But since Barack gives all of the orders, he must be pretty paranoid.

[MrB]

Leftists never seem to have a problem when the “ruling class” espouses “greeness” and then uses energy conspicuously.

Of course, every leftist from the president down to the hempstinkinest dreadlocked juco student thinks he is in the “ruling class” that will be exempt from the restrictions they would impose on others.

This nation is broke and this anti-president, socialist-muslim imbecile is chauffeured around in a gas-guzzling car manufactured for his highness by a bankrupt union-infested manufacturer.

She’s Daddy’s little man busily running (ruining) America’s sinking ship of state.
