Barack Obama's old car fails to sell

What's the value of a car used by Barack Obama? Apparently not $1 million.

An eBay auction for a gray 2005 Chrysler 300C leased by Obama before he became president closed late Wednesday with no bids meeting that minimum asking price, after which the listing agent hinted that $1 million might have been too much to expect.

[ConservativeStatement]

With "the economy improving" after "taking over from eight years of George Bush's failed policies," one would think this would be a top seller. /sarc.

[wetgundog]

Too many male DNA stains in the backseat, if you catch my drift.

[Rummyfan]

Geez, even Jon Voight’s old car sold. But not The One’s!

[Vigilanteman]

In another news development, these aren't selling so well anymore either.

[brownsfan]

Is it racist to notice that the 300C seems to be especially popular with Obama’s peeps? (That is, his black half).

[grobdriver]

I'd buy it for a ten-spot.
Take it out to the country and fill it full of holes.

What was that movie? Sharps fifty and a stolen Cadillac?

Rancho Deluxe.

There's an opportunity to make a few bucks here! Buy Obama's vehicle and auction off chances to participate in a target shoot. Gun clubs would be falling all over eachother to participate.

It smells of cigarette smoke, death and Marxism. Worthless.

Looks like somebody could use Marshall Lucky

[70th Division]

WHAT? Obama didn’t use cash for clunkers?

[LucianOfSamasota]

He can take a million dollar deduction when he donates it to Goodwill - like Clinton’s used underwear.

Thank goodness he’s not greedy - like those Wall Street fat cats, and corporations, and oil companies, and insurance companies, and Doctors, and Republicans, and white people, and the Cambridge police, and George W Bush, and tea-baggers, and GM managers, and GM equity holders, and climate change deniers, and Fox News, and white people - did I say white people?...

Cut off the minimum bid and see what happens. I wouldn't give 2 cents for it, but maybe one of 0's people would charge it on their EBT card.

[grobdriver]

$1 a shot.
After the first million takers you're making money!

[King Hawk]

It didn’t sell because the shocks and springs in the right front are shot from all the weight in the front passenger seat.

[TYVets]

It might have sold if they had removed all of Moochies fast food rappers from the back seat.

[jakerobins]

I would check the trunk for bodies of political enemies! Why wasn’t barry driving an electric vehicle?? Al Gore will be very upset

[DeaconRed]

"I wouldn't give 2 cents for it."

I see a money maker here.
I'll buy it and the sell tickets to hit it with a sledge hammer at $5.00 a hit.
I will be in Buffetts' tax bracket real soon. . . . . . .

[dagogo redux]

The interior slime itself could be auctioned off, most likely.
