Jesus god, Barack Obama’s new fortified palace/romper room/communications center/car looks like it just drove out of the Thunderdome. It is a hideous multi-paneled Wagon of Doom that shoots laser beams out of its headlights and can decapitate a man. It was forged in the fiery furnaces of hell and custom-finished by leather-tongued demons who poured the Elixir of Pan into the gas tank, for greater fuel economy. Early reports say it is a Cadillac. [CNN]
Reminiscent of the Fuhrer’s Mercedes Benz. Power corrupts.
It needs more Truck Nutz.
Hopemobile!
Nice pimped-out ride.
Barry should have gone with this:

Yes, but will it have a stereo system capable of producing bone-shattering bass riffs? Or spinners?
Holy mother of god! It looks like the bastard child of the batmobile and a dumpster.
ManchuCandidate: Or this, when the weather gets cold.
They said it can withstand a direct hit from an asteroid. So it seems that’s the car the dinosaurs should have been driving — which is ironic, considering that if they had been driving that tank, we wouldn’t have any fossil fuels. Um — what was the question?
As long as no Asians touch his radio, Hopey will just chill on the ride.

Just like Michelle Obama!
Trying to find a bullet-proof unicorn was extremely messy and ultimately unsuccessful.
I heard it was forged in the fires of Mt. Detroit and can only be unmade if two gay hobbits drive it into the fiery inferno whence it came.
As part of his southwestern strategy, I think Barry should rilly get some hydraulics, to show he’s down with teh Cholos.
Now that’s what I call a BMW…Black Muthas Wagon.
errr, that is a very hawt description of the car. i can haz ride?
A Caddy, huh? How many times do you figure this piece of crap will break down during the 2-mile inaugural parade?
Shouldn’t it have dubs?
Naked Bunny with a Whip: Win!
ManchuCandidate:
That horrible, horrible movie.
“In truth[heheh], the new presidential limo is a Cadillac, Krell said, although it is ‘not a direct extension of any single model.’”
No, in contradistinction, we assert an intension of sīc cadillac.
Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It’s the only way to live
In cars
At least SOMEONE is buying American.

I had no idea NoBama was so metal. Who’s his chauffeur, Glen Danzig?
I hope it has machine guns and smoke bombs like in Death Race. Barry H. Sorrento will need that to protect himself fromthe ravaging hoardes of PUMAs and truffers.
Also, I think it needs more strippers hanging out of the sunroof because that is how my boy rolls.
Wait, isn’t Cadillac going under? What if it breaks down? No spare parts.
Incredulicious: Ah, hell. You beat me to it.
Besides, who cares if the Hope-mobile is ugly, so long as it deflects an assassin’s bullets?
Such an impregnable machine is only more encouragement for terrorists to nuke us all.
…I hear after the inauguration its heading right back to Green-Zone!
He may need this:

Basically, Obama is the pope and batman all in one, and this is his car.
TGY: Spare parts are not a problem. The flesh and bone of innocents can be used to perform any reupholstering or replacement of drive shafts.
TGY: Barry will go down to the White House basement workshop and machine any required parts himself.
Did Larry Sinclair pick the interior color?
This was all part of the bail out deal for GM. Make us a monster mac daddy limo for Barry and we’ll keep you afloat. Hell, he could pull up to a clan meeting in this thing and still be OK.
…I would half expect that thing to turn into “Megatron” halfway through the parade route!
What is elixir of pan anyway? Or do I have to look up one of the Larry Craig posts to get that information?
Greetings from The President Elect!
The Lord Hussein!
The Warrior of the Wasteland!
The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla!
Break a deal, face the wheel! (New congressional rulez?!!)
Anonymous Office Zombie: Win.
Someone at CNN was enjoying themselves today…from the article:
“For much of the country’s history, the Secret Service didn’t even drive the president, evidently oblivious to the dangers of asteroids.”
Oh, CNN, you made a funny. You’re so cute when you try to do that.
Of course it is outfitted with Hamas Rockets, right?
Now I know where I’ve seen this thing before! It’s the band car in Spinal Tap, minus the glitter tequila bar and foil wrapped cucumber dispenser. When lowered from the ceiling it is actually only 3 feet high. A decoy. Barry will be riding on a force field protected magic carpet of course.
justlen: No he installed the coke bowls and made sure it is roomy enough to do coke off El Presidente’s thigh.
I found a great way to be able to let the world know about your ideas, thoughts and opinions on the new president elect Barack Obama! Skyhorse Publishing will go to press at the end of January, and this handsome
hardcover book will be in stores in April. If you want to be part of history and
share your feeling with the world by writing an open letter to our new president, go
to http://www.letterstopresidentobama.com and submit your letter right away. This is for all of those whom have worked on the Obama campaign, support Barrack Obama in his run to the
White House, or if you simply want to offer your thoughts to the man who will lead
America for the next four years, this is your last chance to have your letter
included in the new book Letters to President Obama.
OMG, it’s a stretch Escalade. He’s going to to be rolling like a rapper, except that his Escalade will be a hybrid which makes it even MORE pretentious.
Available in any color, as long as it’s black.
A fitting ride for our Mack Daddy in Chief.
The curb-feelers are a nice touch.
C’mon — mac-daddy black dude in a Caddy?? That’s too easy.
Primer grey doors for our first black President. Does it have hydraulics too? Because what we really need is a big old hooptie in the Inaugural Parade.
This once again shows the failure of GM. If they hired more gayz, they would realize that two-tone paint design is horrible.
What? No spinning hubcaps?
populucious: Jinx on the mac daddy reference.
Anonymous Office Zombie: The Secret Service is now entirely made up of the KISS Army.
Also, all of the crome features, and logos need to be replaced with 12k gold. Barring that really shiny brass. And a big gold American eagle hood orniment
What exactly is the point of Hopey going through the inaugural parade in this thing if nobody can, you know, see him?
Bruno: No way, an Obama “O” logo hood ornament! Which he can remove and wear as a pendant for functions.
skyhorse: Is there a p0rn section to your little book promotion thingy. Also unless you can 100% assure me that any letter I put there will be included, I’m not interested.
jfruh: That’s why he needs a pope mobile. Better yet, the pope should just give him the pope mobile. Barry’s way more popular worldwide.
They should of give him the tumbler in my opinion.
http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/12/2007/09/batmobile_Tumbler.jpg
Do you think he locks the doors when he goes through black neighborhoods?
jfruh: You liberals are never happy! “I want universal healthcare. I want to withdraw from Iraq. I want the president to be visible.” Sheesh!
Now that I think about it, that asteroid thing is good news. Because as Hollywood has taught us, if a black man is President, the Earth is doomed. Thank god we didn’t elect Morgan Freeman or we’d REALLY be screwed.
I hear that, before entering service, the new limo is to be tricked out by the guys at ‘Pimp My Ride’. Michelle is insisting on spinning rims.
Sassette:
Sweet. Reinforced with special divisions of the Metal Militia and the Slaytanic Wehrmacht.
GMs returned favor for the bailout.
populucious: Yeah, you’re right. I’m sorry. Caffeine hadn’t fully kicked in yet and I went for the low hanging fruit. Ok, I went for the fruit rotting on the ground.
Personally I second all calls for a Pope-Mobile type ride. It’s so regal.
I always thought Clinton brought the funk, but apparently it was Funk that brought Clinton:
“‘Obama should expect two seemingly contradictory feelings when riding in the presidential limousine,’ said Joe Funk, a retired Secret Service agent who was President Bill Clinton’s driver during part of his career.”
I wonder if they ever visited Parliament together.
Obama obviously is continuing to favor Chicago with this choice of vehicle. He got it direct from a south side chop shop.
Now that is pimp.
It’s the Obamabile, obviously. Hopemobile is cool, too, but I like the way Obamabile rolls off the tongue.
And thanks, Skyhorse, I’ll check it out.
DocWonk: Bill Clinton and the Joe Funk All-Stars?
“I think he will be surprised about how when he’s in the limo, it’s a cocoon,” Funk said. “The everyday noises will be gone, and he will be totally isolated in this protective envelope.”
Ho ho, Mr. Funk. You’re forgetting about his BlackBarry.
Am I the only one that is disappointed that Obama didn’t go with a ‘72 Lincoln Continental or a ‘77 Cadillac Fleetwood sedan with the fender-mounted chandeliers like the Duke of New York?
Theodorick Of York: they need to elevate Ayatollah of Rock-n-Rolla to a cabinet position or at least appoint Wez and the Humungus to the Presidential commision on Gay Post-Apocalyptic Biker Outreach
It’s a Hope hoopty, thanks very much.

This ride is fine, indeed, but it’s just a piece of the whole “rolling thunder” motorcade that carries the Prez around town. For even the most routine trips, the sirens wail and the whole motorcade “serpintines” down Connecticut with rolling police motorcycle blockades at each intersection with a second limo and ambulance and two HUGE Chevy Suburbans filled with angry looking Secret Service agents (some sitting looking out the back window with rifles in hand). It was quite startling when I was walking home from the gym across the Taft Bridge and you’d hear this thing roaring down the street (it’s a slightly smaller motorcade to take the Veep home…but still the same siren wailing “show of power”). Crazy.
Is this what they’re using to bring home the First Puppy?
Wugou: one car to rule them all
And in Detroit do bind them?
Bruno: It’s called primer. Cadillac hasn’t made a two tone car in at least 5 years. I think. Do you have to be straight to put on an undercoat? Please feel free to enjoy the double entendres.
Wugou: You’re thinking of a Delorean.
The Obamobile comes in two models. The 88 and the 98.
