Limousine liberals? Number of government-owned limos has soared under Obama

[superfan1]

Limousines, the very symbol of wealth and excess, are usually the domain of corporate executives and the rich. But the number of limos owned by Uncle Sam increased by 73 percent during the first two years of the Obama administration, according to an analysis of records by iWatch News.

So limousines were bought in record numbers under the Bush administration, the term "limousine" applies to 15-year old Ford Crown Vics, and it appears that agencies are stocking up on them before Obama's ban on non-green vehicles kicks in 2015, so they can undermine his order.

Still better than using helicopters like Chris Christie or taking private planes.

Yeah, the irony of this post coming after Christie flew to his son's game in a helicopter is pretty staggering.
