Obama administration officials are riding in style.
A new report from a watchdog group shows that the number of limousines owned by the federal government rose by 73 percent during the first two years of President Obama's administration. The State Department was the recipient of most the new luxury vehicles.
The "Limousine Liberals?" report from iWatch News, part of the nonprofit Center for Public Integrity, showed that government data pegged the number of limos in the federal fleet at 412 in fiscal 2010, up from 238 in fiscal 2008.
Some of the details are a bit hazy. Most of the new limos were obtained in fiscal 2009, which covered the very end of George W. Bush's term and the first eight months of Obama's -- so the Bush administration could have initiated some of the purchases.

We are told we need to drive Volts, Priuses and Smart cars by the same people who have limos and drivers that probably get 10-12 MPG.
I’ll stick with cars I want to drive, not cars I am told I should drove.

Write your congressman and ask for a ride. Contrary to popular belief, the government doesn’t own one damn limo, the taxpayers own them. Obama may act like they’re his, but they belong to you and me.

Well, since so many worship and treat these government politicians as celebrities, they might as well all be in limousines.
