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.

Re the limo: I'd rather see it do 5 mpg than have some racist wacko kill the guy.

so it'd be ok if the person isn't racist?

maybe agenda driven wacko is a more accurate term

That spy photographer also stated that it was likely a diesel.

What a stupid article.

Idiotic.

Today's media is going to kill this country... This is insane. Our president needs a very well protected vehicle. Can you guys imagine a Mariner hybrid after being loaded down with another ton of armor?! These people use no thought process at all.

Of course not! But I'd almost be willing to bet that if there is an attempt against Obama's life it will be a Timothy McVeigh type, not a foreign terrorist.

The article appears to be British. Two specific references can confirm this: 1) aluminium; and 2) tyres.
