Obama, his administrative team and staffers are the gift that keep on giving. In this time of automotive bailouts look closely at what these dudes are putting in their garages and in White House parking lots; a very high percentage of foreign cars. Realistically, I could care less. I recently bought a Mazda but, then again, I'm not asking for a stimlus. I'm paying for it. If the auto unions want to make some waves take it out on their buddy, BHO, and lay off their benefactors--we the people. Read from Politico: they are the source for this article.
"Oops, it seems that many on President Obama’s team, including those seeking to save the American automobile industry, do not actually drive vehicles from the American automobile industry.
According to a study by the Detroit News and a White House parking lot survey by Politico.com, neither do Obama's White House staffers
He canned the chief executive of General Motors (the United Auto Workers president remained, not receiving bailout money), gave the giant carmaker 60 days to reorganize, and directed Chrysler to do a merge deal with Italy's Fiat in 30 days to remain an American company. (Let it go, it makes sense in Washington.)
The Politico survey of cars parked next to the White House found only five U.S. brand cars out of 23 -- a Dodge, two Fords, a Jeep and a Cadillac. The News found that Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, who didn't have the money to pay more than $20,000 in back taxes until they became a confirmation problem, did acquire a 2008 Acura.
Lawrence Summers, head of the president's National Economic Council, drives a Mazda. Budget Director Peter Orszag drives a Honda and a Volvo. Economic advisor Austan Goolsbee drives a Toyota. VP Joe Biden’s economic advisor Jared Bernstein prefers a Honda.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, a Republican, however, went American with a Buick and a Ford Escape hybrid."
