'Limousine Liberals' Report Shows Government Limo Fleet Swelling

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.

Meanwhile, there’s a story on Drudge today about the shortage of ambulance trucks in DC. They are trying get a lot of them repaired. Mostly, they didn’t replace/reorder enough of them a few years ago. They say residents are at risk.

Perhaps had to do it to pay for the limos.
