New Car Smell? The Democratic Field Looks Like 'Cash for Clunkers'
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 11/24/2014 | John Merline

Posted on 11/25/2014 5:47:32 AM PST by IBD editorial writer

"You know, I think — I think the American people, you know, they're gonna want — you know, that new car smell. You know, their own — they — they wanna drive somethin' off the lot that — that doesn't have as — as much mileage as me." — President Obama on ABC News' This Week.

Not exactly a great moment in political oratory.

But it's also hard to fathom who Obama could have had in mind when he uttered those words, since the Democratic contenders all are showing plenty of wear and tear.

I don’t think he was refering to Hillary.

In fact, I think it was intended as a clear slam of her !

Yup,that's one of them.I get to NYC pretty regularly and happened to have a trip scheduled for a couple of weeks after OWS first hit the news.While there I decided to hop on the subway and check it out.There were news trucks everywhere...*all* the major US news networks as well as foreign (BBC,for example) were there.At one point while walking around just dumbfounded by the scumbags I saw I jokingly asked an NYPD cop if it was OK to taunt them.He smiled,shook his head and said "no,probably best if you don't".

The one you've pictured is just one of thousands from whom an aroma very much unlike a "new car smell" hit you like a sledgehammer to the face.

Hillary’s the plow mule.

You would only ride it if you have nothing else to ride and you are desperate to get somewhere.

Advice to Hillary.

1. Go before Benghazi committee, blame Obama for everything.
2. You had an illustrious career in the eyes of many......liberals, stay home and play with the grand kids.
3. Wherever invited to speak after Benghazi, take the money and donate it to a worthy charity.
4. Burn the blue dress.

Remember when the media used to blast Bush for his arrogant swagger? They went on and on about it, man have they missed the swagger BO has? So fake and phony he struts around like a gangster. He is talking like a gangster too, when using his own mind/words, not the words written for him.

Obama’s trying to make way for some communist thug to be the next President. Obama switched his position on the Constitution after meeting with Putin and the Chinese Commies.

There aren't enough car fresheners in the world to cover the stench emanating from Hillary.

“Cash for Clunkers”, “new car smell”. Love it when someone finds a way to use Obamas own “clever” stupid phrases against him.

What obama is saying is that there is definitely a smell emanating from the democrat party, and he’s right. And he’s also right in implying it ain’t that of a new car, or anything else appealing to the senses.
