1. Isn't this about the 20th time he's lost your vote?

2. No, but it is the second time today, and he didn't get it back the first time.

7. But it seems to me it's about 4-6 times a week. So if he lost it 2 years ago and numerous times
since, how did he lose your vote? Just askin?

3. Could it have something to do with the weight of the vehicles?
The armor and whatnot?

4. Yeah, let's put him in a Prius. That would be nice and safe. And without the bullit proof glass, it
would get great mileage.

5. It may, and that's fine, but the exception should not be only for himself.

6. The Presidential limo is not a Prius! I want the limo to be able
to go 0-60 in a little less than 20 minutes.

9. I agree but apparently there are folks here who think a Prius would be just fine.

14. If you think those are the two most importatnt issues then you haven't been paying attention.
Why come here and bitch about Obama over issues that are way down the list of importance?
Just go work for the republicans if it would make you happier.

20. He shouldn't even need the flak vest...
...that is, if he had the love and respect of the American people, like a proper president.

God I hate navigating a bike on a road that's 'under construction.'

39. And how exactly do you think Wisconsin ended up in the position it's in?
We've got a legislature and governor's mansion full of teabagging zombies because our Dems weren't deemed progressive enough.

As you sow, so shall you reap.

It's really hard to get good mileage on a car laden down with armor and bullet-proof glass.
