All the Candidates’ Cars

What does 50 Cent have to do with Obama? 50 Cent drives Bentleys anyway, and the 300 is a cheaper Bentley knock-off so not only is that comment a little racially tinged, it is innacurate.

Oops...that should've been "4-syllable words."

What is it with your scrutiny of McCains assets.?They're a wealthy couple, have done very well for themselves, have lived the American Dream. What has this to do with McCains capability of being a good president? Get off these ridiculous issues of cars and houses, get on with the real issues at hand, the economy, the war, national security, immigration, education, health care.... the things that really matter. Where was your close scrutiny of Obamas associations and dealings, things that REALLY matter in the case of JUDGEMENT and CHARACTER. The media bias is so blatant it's just causing more Democrats, like myself, and Independents to support John McCain.

To Eric M. Shodeen: Are you kidding, ignorant, or simply confused? Obama a socialist?! Good grief, the unsupported lies you McCaniacs come up with are appalling.

And trying to link McSame with the Founding Fathers?!?! Read some history, Eric. The individuals who founded this great democratic experiment were "East Coast elitists," as your crowd likes to label them. They believed in science. The believed in separating church and state. They believed in education (and other 3-syllable words unfamiliar to your party).

Both McCain and Saint Sarah of the North are about as far removed from the Founding Fathers as you are from reality.

Oh, and one more thing... I, too, have to agree with a majority of commenters that the 50 Cent reference was a cheap, racist shot. What possible motivation could there be for tying Senator Obama to the rapper other than spreading apprehension among the voting public?

You guys should be ashamed.

The real issue here is whose car is cleaner. Rumor has it that the Obama kids left crumbs in the backseat.

What does the type of car some rapper drives, have to do with what was basically a descent story? Obama sold the 300 because it was seen as a "Gas Guzzler" period. Oh that's right I bought my BMW because I thought it meant "Black Man's Wheels."

Hey kopiluwak!!
QUESTION: Waaaahhhhhhh. Is it racist that 95% of blacks are voting for Obama?
NO!!
We ALWAYS vote democrat in large numbers.
And it has historically been exclusively for a White Male candidate.

Rethugs don't even look for our votes......

kopiluwak....... read up a bit......

Unbelievable. McCain lies, fibs, tells half-truths, whatever you want to call it . . . . I just can't believe that he has so much support in this country. Are people really that blind? Obama owns ONE home and ONE car. McCain owns SEVEN homes and THIRTEEN cars. Unreal.

I'm so happy for the McCains - must be wonderful to have so many choices when deciding what to drive to this or that event. And the economy has got to be "sound" for them to afford all that insurance.

Just another example of how the candidate who postures as "one of the people" is in fact one of the richest fat-cats in America. Think of THAT the next time he tries to paint Obama as an "elitist."

The hypocrisy of the Republican party grows more egregious every day. Please, register to vote ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9pqGxnrM1A ) and be a part of REAL change for America.

Obama/Biden '08

What does the type of car some rapper drives, have to do with what was basically a descent story? Obama sold the 300 because it was seen as a "Gas Guzzler" period. Oh that's right I bought my BMW because I thought it meant "Black Man's Wheels."

And one more thing ... McCain owns a Volkswagen. We all know who introduced the Volkswagen. Why not mention that link between McCain and a scary white man?

This is a clearly racist article. Why use the 50 Cent reference if not to link Obama to a scary black gangster? Did Obama buy that car because he wanted to be like 50 Cent? If so, it's relevant. Otherwise it's racist. Is 50 Cent the only other person who drives one? This is disgusting journalism that barely hides its contempt for Obama.

boyz_squared......
Yeah, im sure you are right....

what is the relevance of what kind of car 50 cent drives? as "journalists" you're unprofessional and irresponsible ... as human beings you're despicable slime.

Puke. People get paid to write this garbage.

Hmmmm...
That Artcle was by Keith Naughton and Hilary Shenfeld. I first looked up Mr Shenfields other Newsweek published "Gems" and found this one immediately:

FRIENDS LIKE THESE
Long before sex, lies and texting caused Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to plead guilty to two felonies and resign on Thursday, he and Barack Obama shared a warm man-hug before a huge Motown crowd.<< (edit)

I'd bet you can guess where it went from there.
Lets guess if the 50 cent line came from Hillary or Keith.

Irresponsible journalism at its finest. Tie Mr. Obama with the angry black man. Now I am so scared. So very scared. My white 68 year old veteran neighbor owns one too, that???s it I am moving he might start singing ???Go Shorty??? like 50 cents over the fence.

Or maybe just maybe the authors of this article had no other way to get some journalism attention this week-end with my taxes getting ready to bail out Wall St.
