President Obama kicked his PR campaign on gas prices into a higher gear Wednesday, giving what is believed to be the first ever presidential interview to AAA.
“I understand what folks are going through because it wasn’t that long ago that I was having to fill up my gas tank and drive to work, shuttle the kids back and forth to school or events, and it takes a big bite out of folks paychecks,” Obama told the motorist group, which has 53 million members.
The interview, which appears online and in AAA publications today, is the latest indication that Obama is worried about rising gas prices and their political impact headed into the summer and fall.

The president also recalls his former membership in AAA and driving his first car, his grandfather’s 1970s Ford Granada.
“The Ford Granada was not the peak of Detroit engineering,” he said. “It rattled and it shook, and I don’t think the girls were particularly impressed when I came to pick them up in a Ford Granada,” he said. “But you know what? It moved and so I have fond memories of the fact that it got me to where I needed to go. That’s about all I can say about the Ford Granada.”

That was during the time of my life when the girls were not particularly impressed when I came to pick them ...
Yet another interview replete with references to self. The term narcissist doesn’t even begin to describe his inflated sense of self importance.
Where did he work again?
Do 'community organizers' get paychecks?
who pays them?
or the rides in the back of a Land Rover in Kenya ,the heat ,the dust
Not so flattering references to Ford....Hmmm
Perhaps Ford should be allowed to continue their advertising that says they did not take a government handout. (The WH asked them to stop.)
Is there nothing this guy wont lie about?
I am so done with this president. I’m to the point that I don’t care if Ron Paul gets the nomination AB0. I’m at the point where everytime he opens his mouth I scream, “You’re such an a$$!!!” at the radio. The latest is on the shooting in Fla. Already he’s trying to politicize it the same way he did with Gabby Gifford. Now you have Calypso Louie and Rev. Al “9-1-1” Sharpton of Crown Heights riot fame stirring up trouble.
He’s always more than happy to talk about himself EXCEPT when it comes to his birth certificate, academic history, foreign travel or his shady Chicago associations.
How old are his girls? He was driving a 1970 Ford Granada 3yrs ago? In Chicago’s tawniest neighborhood? BS!!
I’ve never heard of girls referred to in his past. Is that something new? Funny no ex-girlfriends are ever mentioned.
“Yeah, blame it on the car.”
Good post! President Scapegoat always blames someone or something for his own problems, never himself.
Ford Granada production years 1975-1982 He cant tell the truth about ANYTHING.
If AAA is supporting the Kenyan Marxist, I’m canceling my membership.
I’m on the verge of doing that just for giving the narcissistic marxist a venue to spew his filthy lies.
“Ah, the Alaskan Innuit Olympics. That remind me of the time
I .. and also I ... then I ... and they all tossed me in the air.”
Suck it up you asshat Obama, I drove a 12 yo Chrysler with “Fluid Drive” which was not a chic magnet either. Then again, I was looking for girls.
Ford Granada production years 1975-1982 He cant tell the truth about ANYTHING.
He needs to go back for more briefings on the “Life Barack Obama”
You can always tell when Obama thinks his audience is especially stupid—He keeps saying “folks.”
This little beauty has 180,000 miles and still going strong.
FUBO
“Kin I git me a-huntin’ licesnes round hera?”
The man is a pathological liar. Everything he says is a lie. I know it sounds crazy. I know. But I am still not convinced that Michelle is his actual wife, or that those girls are really his daughters.
I do not believe one single thing about this guy.
