Interesting that he should throw out that number, since that's precisely the mileage his limousine gets.

Last week President Obama announced his new ‘Green Fleet’ plan that would see all of the government’s 600,000 vehicles be either hybrids, plug-in electrics or flex-fuel models by 2015. There are, however, a few exceptions – most notably ‘The Beast’. The nickname for the President’s armored Cadillac limousine, also referred to as Cadillac One, it is exempt from the new rules. Secret Service Special Agent Robert Novy confirmed as much to Fox News, commenting that, “certain specialized vehicles with law enforcement and security specifications are not subject to this directive.” Included in that list is ‘The Beast’, which features 5-inch thick reinforced walls, it’s own oxygen system and a blood bank in the trunk is reported to get just 8-mpg.

Obama’s Limo Exempt from New ‘Green Fleet’ Rules

Pharaobama pronounced a judgment upon himself. He will be getting a trade-in alright: a chariot with one destination, to the bottom of the sea.

He don’t deserve no steenking chariot. Just throw him in and be done with it. Why waste a perfectly good chariot?

Indeed. I'm going to trade-in the occupier of the White House for a real President as soon as I legally can.
