    I came to this a bit late, and didn't get past Ash78s commenter-baiting opening.


    To which, of course, on the topic of socialist US presidents, I would like to add 'Vote FDR'.


    And on the original question, why don't turn this around? Surely the real question is what is the best limousine based truck?


    Mercedes Benz 600 Pullman, mit flatbed?

    He'll never fill up. You see, it doesnt run on gasoline and it isn't an electric vehicle. It runs on the hopes and dreams of America. That and little childrens souls.

    Republicans may think I'm foolish

    For the foolish things I do

    They may wonder how come I love you

    When you act all socialist like you do

    Well Obama you know you bug me

    There ain't no secret 'bout that

    Well come on over here and hug me

    Give me some of that Barack

    Well homey it ain't your charisma

    'Cause baby I got plenty of that

    I love you for your Big Cadillac

    Crushed velvet seats

    Riding in the back

    Oozing down the street

    Waving to the girls

    Peeling out of sight

    Spending all my tax money

    On bailing GM out tonight

    Obama I just wonder what you do there in back

    Of your Prez Cadillac

    Prez Cadillac


    Now some folks say it's too big

    And uses too much gas

    Some folks say it's much too gangsta

    And that it goes too fast

    But my love is bigger than a Prius

    It's bigger than a Subaru

    Hey man there's only one thing

    And one car that will do

    Anyway we don't have to drive it

    Homey we can park it out in back

    And have a block party in your Prez Cadillac

    Prez Cadillac

    Obama's motorcade security detail should be reminded that, regardless of how great the temptation is, they should under no circumstances "ghost ride that whip."

    0-60? Yes. Eventually.


    While merrily towing the entire rest of the Presidential motorcade.


    For contrast: I believe our Prime Minister drives himself to work. Since he's from Calgary, he probably does so in a lifted F350 dually diesel. But I'd guess it's probably black, just like Obama's!

    Will Gm be around long enough for this to actually happen? I guess he could always buy a used International CXT.

    Cue Fitty Cent getting the second one off the assembly line. Though it would be funny to see the next custom car craze being the Obamamobile.

    build it strong. this guy has so many howling ignorant rednecks wanting to be the one that takes him out, he kind of just needs to build a bunker and stay in it. it needs to be able to drive away from, or maybe over, a total disaster. I hope it has vertical-takeoff capability. so great we elected him, so sad it could all end so suddenly, and really might.

    @MeganPelops: It's not just rednecks, Megan. Jesse Jackson made some downright nasty sounds too. Sad but true.


    Hate is a car that comes with any color paint job that you want to order.

    This is what confuses me. I've wondered about it before.

    Doesn't he realize that's Michelle's job?

    There was a great article in the NYTimes about this, the security is so tight on all previously used Presidential limos that the Clinton Caddy on display at his library is locked up and only the Secret Service have the keys!
