Long past time to give presidential contenders IQ tests

This raises two issues.

1) Who among the NASCAR drivers does he think will actually sign on to do this?

2) If he does get anybody, the race fans (such as I know them) will root for anyone and everyone to beat the schmuck, simply because Barry O’s as antithetical as he is to the values these fans hold. And I’ll be among them.

This idea has all kinds of stupid written all over it.

Let’s hope it goes through!

What a spectacle to political idiocy it will be.

//Obama Considers Sponsoring Sprint Cup Car in NASCAR Race//

Signs of huge weakness there, but I hope he spends all sorts of $$$ on teams of any and all forms of vehicle racing. top fuel, nascar, formula one, whatever.

My... where to start... Aside from the fact that he and his election team will all have to “get their shots first” I doubt the car would make it around the first lap.

BUMP!

A sample of what things he would spend the US taxpayers dollars for? No doubt, the press would spin it his investment in American pride.

Can you imagine the pit crew: “Can’t we all get along” affirmative action candidates. 55 mph speed limit. Rainbow lettering colors on the tires. Be polite when someone tries to pass.

Hoping to influence those ‘bitter’ folks who hold on to their Bibles, their guns and their V-8s.

Barry’s car should be a Yugo with a sail.

Is the Prius an appropriate NASCAR vehicle?

This guy is getting “so far ahead of himself” it’s laughable.
This is another variation of the fatal over-reaching that had him appearing behind a
supposedly tongue-in-cheek Presidential Seal as he did
his speechifying.
On the other hand, there is some risk in this new ploy:
He could pick a car that came in at the back of the pack.
Hell, it’s win or nothing. He could pick a car that came in second, and that would just as readily destroy the symbolism he seems to be shooting for.
