The Obamamobile: Drive as I say, not as I drive
Well, who is surprised by this story about the “monster gas-guzzling” Obamamobile? Once a Drive as I Say-er, always a Drive as I Say-er:
On the campaign trail, Barack Obama promised to get a million plug-in hybrid cars on the road by 2015. His own new presidential limousine will be far from green, however.
The Obamobile being prepared for the president-elect is said to be a monster gas-guzzler made by General Motors, the troubled car giant. It will look like a black Cadillac but is built like a tank. A spy photographer who tracks down future car models for magazines snatched pictures of the heavily disguised first-car-in-waiting when it was being road-tested last summer.
The armour-plated car, which has a raised roof, windows up to 5in thick, extra-strength tyres and a body made of steel, aluminium, titanium and ceramics, is thought to be based on a GMC 2500 truck that gets less than 10 miles to the gallon. Three cars are believed to be in production so that two can serve as decoys.
While security is paramount – the car is built to survive roadside bombs as well as gunfire – there are hybrid four-wheel drives on the market, such as Ford’s Mercury Mariner, which some critics believe could have been adapted for the president.

WHICH MEMO???!?!??!
Are you referring to Richard Clarke’s efforts during the Clinton administration?
Honestly, I doubt anyone can follow your incoherent ramblings.
Was this statement supposed to mean anything?
Please tell me that you also realize that boosting security at New York City area airports during Sept 11, 2001 wouldn’t have done anything to stop hijackers in Portland, Boston, or Washington. Please tell me that you’re smart enough to understand that. Please tell me that you have more than this.
It also says that they alerted security at other airports along the eastern seaboard.
The Presidential Daily Briefing that George Bush saw on Aug. 6th, 2001. Jesus, I linked to it for you, what more do you want?
Yes.
Exactly. “other” means not the ones that would have mattered. Because you have to admit that it would have been specifically mentioned otherwise.
So this is it? This is the great action you’re talking about? Boosting security at airports which might or might not be the right airports, and boosting security to levels that might or not might have preempted the attackers?? Genius.
How many more times do I need to state that the threat warning didn’t mention anything specific???? It merely stated that OBL wanted to hit the US. Everyone already knew that. Merely mentioning it again is meaningless.
Do you really not get this?
