Obama takes the wheel of a Chevy

President Obama did something unusual today for a man in his position: Driving.

“I’m telling you guys, pretty smooth,” Obama said after briefly taking the wheel of a brand new Chevy Volt, the electric car made at the General Motors plant near Detroit.

A very brief trip — maybe ten feet, reports Mark Knoller of CBS News, who also notes that the head of the president’s Secret Service detail gave a “reluctant nod” in favor of the jaunt.

“Does that have airbags?” cracked White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.

Pooler Margaret Talev of McClatchy Newspapers reported that Obama “buckled himself in and haltingly drove perhaps 10 feet at a crawling speed.”

That sounds about right for what to expect from Volt ownership.

Ok here we have the 40K obama motors toy.
40 mile range? What the hell is up with that?
How much additional electricity will it take to recharge the batteries?

Chevy is trying to outdo itself.

lol no one is going to buy that obama lemon.

A golf cart would be a wiser financial decision.
