The Presidential Hoopty
Posted by Bossip Staff
Barack Obama’s presidential limo is in some need of serious pimping:
As a candidate, Barack Obama promoted hybrid cars. Auto enthusiasts have panned the design of the new presidential limo, which will be painted all black. Auto enthusiasts have panned the design of the new presidential limo, which will be painted all black.
As president, he’ll be handed the keys to one. Sort of. Shortly after taking the oath of office, Obama will climb into the Mother of All Hybrids — part car, part truck and, from the looks of it, part tank.
In keeping with recent tradition, the Secret Service will place a brand-new presidential limousine into service January 20 to drive the new president on the 2-mile jaunt down Pennsylvania Avenue during the inaugural parade.
Already, spy photos of the limo — with patches of gray primer — have leaked out. And already, the reviews: “Ugly as sin,” says one car enthusiast on an auto Web site. “Can’t we make a hotter ride for our pres?”
“Sheesh,” says another, “why don’t they just transport the president around in an Abrams tank.” One news agency, noting its 8-inch-thick doors, says the limo can withstand a “direct hit from an asteroid.” But GM spokeswoman Joanne K. Krell laughed off the comments. “And it will fix you a latte if you ask,” she jokes.
This ride sounds like a luxury tank or some sh*t. Well, whatever it takes to keep Obama safe in these crazy times. Even that Nazi-ass Pope rides around in a bullet proof glass box.

sounds over the top to me….
thing looks like a small tank. I guess Secret Service feels Obama needs the extra protection. It isnt build for looks but I bet it can handle anything the nutjobs toss at it.

Oooh second. I guess everybody is too distracted with discussing Beyonce’s makeup or Fantasia’s tax issues to worry about the our countries 1st black president (if you dont count Bill C.)
In order to make that Caddy really safe, it needs to be able to make Barack look like a white guy when looking in the window. That would be the ultimate deception (in appearances anyways) and avert any would be *****asinators. Oh yeah, It could be nice if it gave brains too!!!!!!!
*****-***** Pope, really? Because he’s German?
That car/truck/Hummer would not make it on ANY Cleveland freeways…one pot hole and BLAM!! Tires flyin’ windshield crashed….etc…
***STUPID *****S! THAT’S THE CAR BEING TESTED!
That’s not the final product, plus, is the car referred as a “hoopty” (urban term) because Obama’s black??
I’m telling y’all, Bossip is riding Obama for a BLACK P*****.
Long as its BULLET PROOF and keeps O safe….I dont care what it looks like.
yeah, i think everybody can tell it isnt the finished product. but looking at its body design, it isnt built for looks. All the extra armor makes it look…bad. But as long as it does the job…
BARACK IS THE ENEMY!
wow no comment. some people need to grow the ***** up
@DOWNWARD
I AGREE
The black President shoots back.
That car looks like something from Escape from New York.
The limo is tight!! I’m sure no rapper can afford it. Bullet proof tires, tires alone cost $150,000! Hybrid limo, 8 inch thick explosive doors! That’s just the exterior of the car, you know Obama has the finest woods and leather in the inside. Yo this car is car is 7 to 15 million dollar value!
hannibal you’re such a *****!
DAMN, THAT WAS HARSH MAN
like Barry is going to be ridin in a Caddy w/ gray primer patched on it. that joint don’t even have the caddy logo on the grill…come on people u can’t believe everything you hear. that’s probably a spy shot fom Car & Driver magazine, they always have spy shots of the hot new cars when they are tested before production
Hub-caps? Where are the spinners? That’s just wrong:)
This ish better be Bullet Proof … considering all the ignorant haters out there.
I had this car truck 2 years ago!!
Yea everything on the car is bullet proof. Clinton had a expedition with a cut out flaps through out the car for the S. service to bust back. Basically this a compact HMMWV(Humvee). America aint stupid to send Obama out in a cheap ***** Chyrsler 300.
Yea show everyone the car so they know what firepower to bring.
They can say what they want…I bet Obama will be in a gl***** prof box while doing the swearing in that will be on top of an elevator that camera won’t pick up if any ish goes down….so shoot all they want…he’s going in the White House. Long Live Obama!
The man is going to nee this kind of protection. Let it be. We voted for him, we gotta keep him around. BO08
LOL@the 1st black president choosing a Caddilac…this ish is like dream.
Praying it’s got Lambo doors…
half you people just don’t understand
Obama 08 *****.
.. he bullet proofed up… he need it tho!!!!

I think you can actually buy this model from Cadillac – sans a few crazy features like rocket armor
