Barack Obama’s Limo Gets Stuck In Driveway, In Ireland

by Ken Layne  5:48 pm May 25, 2011

This is magical: Barack Obama’s stupid giant million-ton Cadillac Tank Limo got stuck on a little bump in the driveway leading out of the U.S. Embassy. Listen to the Irish people laugh and cheer. It’s like they knew this would happen.

Here’s another version:

“Need a push?” Hahahah, the Irish and their humor. And then the Men In Black pull up in their laser death van and block off the driveway so Obama can sneak out and get another Guinness. Next time, Barry, just rent a regular-sized European car at the airport. Stop making us look bad, everywhere. [via AutoBlog]

Well, it is not as if the land of leprechauns was designed for an armored tank/limo!

Troubledog May 25, 2011 at 5:52 pm

I heard about this yesterday, albeit in a roundabout fashion.

That's such a vile thing, I can't upfist it even though I know your point in posting it was the opposite.

Troubledog May 25, 2011 at 6:09 pm

Au contraire. Show it to EVERY PERSON YOU KNOW. This is vivid, and real, and shameful. Shine the brightest light you can, directly on it.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Sue4466 May 25, 2011 at 6:12 pm

Showing isn't the same as upfisting, though. Upfisting suggests approval. Just can't do that. But yeah, it does reveal a lot. Though we knew it was there.

Yes, this video has been making the rounds on all the wingtard sites. Who knew some of their readers were racist fuckwits? Color me shocked.

genxr May 25, 2011 at 7:50 pm

White southerners hate black President. News at 11.

horsedreamer_1 May 26, 2011 at 8:58 am

Today, we* are all Lester Maddox.

*As in 'we, the people', the propertied, Anglo, male Americans at the time of the Constitution's** writing, both Northern & Southern.

**From a strict-construction standpoint, I see one SCOTUS jurist who rightfully can play a role in government: Roberts. Could add Breyer, if I'm feeling charitable. (Anthony Kennedy? Papist or not, a dirty Irish dog. Back to the Potato Blight for him!)

Troubledog May 25, 2011 at 6:01 pm

When that site got flagged to me a couple days ago, it really brought home for me that a lot of these wingtards don't give a fuck about whether he bodysnatched Bin Laden or balances the fucking budget. They hate him because he is black. They are intractable. They can't be reasoned with. They shouldn't be ignored.

glamourdammerung May 25, 2011 at 6:09 pm

I agree. The blatant racism has been laughed off too many times.

After all, if the comments are so innocent, they certainly should not have an issue with others pointing those comments out.

snoopyfan2010 May 25, 2011 at 8:31 pm

Really? Yes, you can't reason with them. Sure, you may not be able to ignore them. But if you really don't like what they stand for pointing a finger at them and crying isn't going to help either. Remember bullies like to hear how much they hurt you. It only reinforces their power.

Doktor Zoom May 26, 2011 at 1:00 am

Wow, that site is something–page after page of liberal infiltrators of the Tea Party, trying to make conservatives look bad. That's the only reasonable explanation.

You should not pick on the mentally handicapped as you are going to rile up the Trig Screw morons again.

Troubledog May 25, 2011 at 6:16 pm

Peter Fonda didn't train his grandkids in marksmanship in case Trig starts a class war. He blamed that on my big brown president. I'm sick of ignoring these idiots. They don't represent even the mainstream of their own factions. By holding up more reprehensible examples, we hasten the pace at which otherwise reasonable people will move away from the hate.

snoopyfan2010 May 25, 2011 at 8:32 pm

LonelyMattress? The handle speaks for itself. No one wants to fuck that cunt.

Negropolis May 26, 2011 at 12:00 am

I am laughing so hard right now. Mostly because it's so blatant and ridiculous — someone needs to start telling racists that their racism kind of loses its sting in the 21st Century when it's so blatant — but also because he Twitter handle couldn't be any more the truth. LonelyMattress, indeed, and "Sexy Bitch" my black ass.

BTW, if someone had the temerity to call me a "lazy nigger" to my face in this day and age, depending on the circumstance, I'd probably invite them for a drink (even though I don't).

Biel_ze_Bubba May 26, 2011 at 7:43 am

What used to be vile is now comical, not so much because it's the 21st Century (which a pretty mixed bag so far), but because of Barack Obama. You've got this witless cretin ragging on a gentleman who has twice her IQ, and infintely more class and sophistication, and everybody on the planet knows it. She might as well be proclaiming that the earth is flat, for all the power her words have.

PostApocalypse May 26, 2011 at 12:30 pm

Q: Hey! What do you call the historic first Black President of a country struggling for generations to overcome it's own brutal legacy of slavery, exploitation, and social/economic exclusion? Whose centrist policies and emphasis on compromise and inclusion stand in sharp contrast to his predecessor's beligerence? Whose own humble beginnings hi-light an inspiring example of the promise of a Democratic Republic? Whose first act as President was to halt the country's spiraling descent into financial chaos, at great political cost?

A: Nigger.

In a constantly changing world, it's nice to know that Ken will come up with an Obama-is-a-douchebag post, no matter what ("Obama’s stupid giant million-ton Cadillac Tank Limo": sure, Barry brought it with him from Chicago just to piss off Cornel West, or something, also, too).

Oh sorry, were your sensibilities wounded by a funny thing that happened somewhere? We'll make sure to tell the Funny Angels not to let any more funny things happen to your crush.

Lascauxcaveman May 26, 2011 at 2:00 am

Seriously, some of these fanbois can get so pissy.

Besides, it was Jack who was always picking on our pwecious, pwecious, Hawaiian Shark God.

And, well, much as I like our prez, I gotta admit I miss Jack already. Wonkette Jr is doing very nicely, however.

Lucidamente1 May 26, 2011 at 9:33 am

Sorry, Ken, the thing was funny; you weren't. (Peace offering: 99.9999% of the time, you are.)

MaxUdargo May 25, 2011 at 8:31 pm

I guess it's only because I'm old that I'll spend 6 minutes and 40 seconds of my life watching a video because I'm assuming something is going to happen during the last 20 seconds or so. But that's not the way it works, is it? You kids have some secret signal to indicate that, although the video is 6 minutes and 40 seconds long, nothing happens after the first minute. Is that what the "360p" means?

On of you clever little buggers should invent a computer program that lets you edit videos or something.

Go back in time and watch the first one instead. It was pretty succinct.

"Barack Obama Hits Irish Pubs, Gets Raptured By Jesus"
by Wonkette Jr.
9:04 am May 24, 2011

Now we know who was doing the driving.
Guinness good.

ShaveTheWhales May 27, 2011 at 4:41 am

OTOH, so far we haven't seen "Barack Obama hits Irish Pubes".

So there's that.

HistoriCat May 25, 2011 at 9:20 pm

I don't understand – the Mach 5 had a button which would cause the whole car to jump in the air, why can't they have something like that on the President's car?

Someone get Speed Racer on the phone, stat!

tessiee May 26, 2011 at 12:18 am

Oh, great!
Now I have the Speed Racer theme song stuck in my head!
That's just great!

zappadoo76 May 25, 2011 at 9:28 pm

This is not so good. I mean, it's funny, but what if the Prez's car really needed to get away from somewhere because there was gunfire and stuff? Is it going to get stuck on the speedbumps? And now that Ken has posted this video on the internationally acclaimed Wonkette, doesn't every crazy in the world know how to stop the Presidential limo?

Ken Layne May 26, 2011 at 12:48 am

This is a wake-up call.

It's time we went back to the swift and nimble system of the Presidential bicycle motorcade.

(The Segway motorcades didn't work out so well.)

easynewz May 26, 2011 at 5:12 am

Indeed. The old Lincoln Continental with the 'suicide doors.' Good times.

Lascauxcaveman May 26, 2011 at 2:05 am

In an emergency, that thing won't be doing a candy-ass parade-tempo 4mph. It'll fly over those bumps. And look good doing it. .

easynewz May 26, 2011 at 5:18 am

Ahem. If you look closely you'll see that it actually was not a speed-bump. Those were construction metal plates that raised the normal clearance height. The embassy was probably installing those raise-up-out-of-the-ground posts that are favored for protection against car-bombs and such.

rocktonsam May 25, 2011 at 9:53 pm

Ok…which one of those jerk senators filibustered the Irish embassy driveway repair budget?

BZ1 May 25, 2011 at 10:28 pm

That's what you get for bailing out GM, the Cadillac just gets even fatter…

DaRooster May 25, 2011 at 11:33 pm

So he went there to pick up Osama's body… stashed it in the trunk and, with it being frozen and crabs hangin' on, caused the ass end to be weighted down… that and Michelle's but is SO (perfectly) big.

Buzz Feedback May 25, 2011 at 11:35 pm

We stopped the limo and we invented the Lunch Drunk (TM). Take THAT!

Negropolis May 25, 2011 at 11:53 pm

Surely, this proves Mr. Obama's moral weakness and turpitude. Never, never will I allow These Wonkettes to live that down, especially when given an opening big enough to fit a presidential stretch Cadillac through, no siree. Nevah.

On second thought, are we sure Biden wasn't driving? 'Cause that would explain ev-er-y-thing.

A Yugo is really just a delayed car bomb. Or, was it the Gremlin? I get my old, horribly designed autos confused.

fuflans May 26, 2011 at 12:33 am

can't this just be a funny thing that happened to the president's too big ass car?

can't we EVER have some nice things?

Negropolis May 26, 2011 at 12:51 am

Big Wheels keep on turnin', proud Barry keep on burnin', 'cause he's rollin'…

So, how long until we hear about the media go on about how this is a metaphor for the entire Obama presidency? Bush had Katrina, and Barry's got his Cadillac stalled on the vomit-encrusted/paved streets of Dublin.

NadePaulKuciGravMcKi May 26, 2011 at 12:57 am

glamourdammerung May 26, 2011 at 8:28 am

Is that the same car they couldn't turn around on Downing Street on a different trip?

A Hover-round would have owned that foreign bump.

This could be a metaphor for the impotence of American power, but sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Not to burst the comedy bubble, but I read that he was actually in the car behind it; this is just the "lead" car.

nonbeliever7 May 26, 2011 at 9:29 am

I assume the presidential limo has a "Shit Happens" bumper sticker.

glamourdammerung May 26, 2011 at 8:14 pm

Only because they got on to Biden for trying to put a "Shit Happens When You Party Naked" sticker there first.

carlgt1 May 26, 2011 at 10:14 am

imagine George Bush & Dick Cheney totally stuck in a car in the middle of a terrorist state such as Ireland!

horsedreamer_1 May 26, 2011 at 8:54 am

Given the state of the economy, prolly a barrel.
