After consulting with the Secret Service, President Obama drove a Chevrolet Volt at a plant in Hamtramck, Mich., the pool reports.

The pool summarizes: “He stepped excitedly into a Black Chevy Volt, behind the wheel, buckled himself in and haltingly drove perhaps 10 feet at a crawling speed.”

“Pretty smooth,” Obama remarked.

Can't even drive a car. America's new 'Edsel'.

We should rename it the 'Dolt

[counterpunch]

Herr 0bama shows off the amazing new Voltswagen.

[rbosque]

What a putz!

[PATRIOT1876]

I believe that I could create a rubber band powered car that could operate smoothly for 10 feet.

Where do I get my $10 billion government grant?

[La Lydia]

What a weenie! That is embarrassing. Get in the car. Rev the engine. Drive it around a bit and then see how fast it goes to 60. Geez. I’m a girl and even I know what to do.

And a much-needed shot of estrogen was enjoyed by all.

DOLT!!! LOL!! PERFECT!!!!!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Rush said today that the batteries are made by “green” workers in South Korea because they are too dangerous to be made here in the good old USA. ROTFL!!! You just can’t make this crap up! Hippies!

[montomike]

That’s my president you are talking about. sarcasm off/

[colorado tanker]

Get a real car - one where you don't have to charge a battery! Yabadabadoo!

[Ann Archy]

I’ll bet Michelle DROVE when they went out.

What a phryggin' PUNK!

Compare with GWB and his buddies, who fussed around with the Segway until they mastered riding the thing.

Obama is a frightened, unaccomplished punk. He's probably scared of his own shadow.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

FUBO!

[omega4179]

He can’t drive a car or throw a baseball.

[Frantzie]

My guess is the thing does not work. Call it a Nova and sell it too illegals.

Nova bombed in hispanic countries cause it means No Go or something. Looks like the Volt was dummied up to go 10 feet.

[COBOL2Java]

Better headline:

Dolt drives Volt

[Nickname]

lol the Doltswagen.

[monocle]

What do you expect? The car wasn’t equipped with a teleprompter.

"White House press secretary Robert Gibbs noted that it was unusual for a president to drive..."

Hey Gibbs, you jerk!

"CRAWFORD, TX - MAY 23: U.S. President George W. Bush (R) and Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi walk together after driving up in Bush's pickup truck before a media conference May 23, 2003 on Bush's ranch near Crawford, Texas. President Bush and Prime Minister Koizumi met to discuss international issues such as North Korea and Iraq."

A “black” Chevy Volt? That’s racist!
