Title: Obama's new ride
Post by: gjreda on January 09, 2009, 07:55:14 PM
This thing is for sure a tank.  I think my favorite part is that they keep blood on board in case Barack needs an emergency transfusion.  Crazy.

It has tank like speed too -- 0-60 in FIFTEEEN??? seconds - and then it's at it's TOP speed??

No wonder they have to shut down highways in major cities when presidents visit.  Their rides would get run over several times in normal traffic.

I knew about Air Force One and Marine One, but I didn't know about Pimpmobile One. 

(and that's not because he's multi-racial that he's pimpin', McCain would have had Grand(pa) Master Pimp status with this whip)

And sadly the post has turned racist... so since it will be taken down, as it should after the Soul Plane comment...

Its better then having a vice president who believes dinosaurs existed 4000-6000 years ago....

Since we're apparently going to have this argument, and going to have it until the thread gets locked ...

How about having a vice president who thinks "jobs" is a "three letter word" and that FDR a) Was president and b) Spoke on television in 1929?
