The Presidential Hoopty

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.

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!!!!!!!

***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*****.

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…

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!

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.
