Obama Administration Loves Foreign Cars

So now that the Obama White House has taken the reigns from Detroit in running the American automobile industry, it seems only natural to ask: What makes of American cars do members of the Administration drive?

Rahm Emmanuel, for one, seems like a Chevy man. We can picture Timothy Geithner driving a vintage Ford T-Bird, and presidential aide Reggie Love surely rides in a Pontiac G8.

Oh wait. According to Politico, pretty much everyone in the White House drives a foreign car.

A survey of West Executive Drive, where White House staffers park, revealed only five American cars out of 23 --a Dodge Grand Caravan, two Ford Escapes, a Jeep Cherokee and a Cadillac.

The lot was sprinkled with BMWs, Mercedes, Hondas, Toyotas, Saabs, Audis, Volkswagens and a Volvo.

Oops.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
