Have you heard? Can you believe it? What a dirty politician! Barack Obama, Illinois senator and presidential hopeful, comes to Detroit and blasts automakers about the need to build more-fuel-efficient cars and then drives off in his personal Chrysler 300C?
Senator Obama's 340 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque might help him scurry away from life-threatening scares quicker than a two-pound chimp shot out of a cannon, but every time he starts that V-8, he's choking dolphins and using the corpses to club baby seals. The scoundrel, the hypocrite, the...the...the liar. We'd just consider him a well-informed consumer for not missing out on our repeat 10Best winner, but then again, we rarely get better than 20 mpg in anything.
In light of this (hardly) revelation, we did some digging and came upon aBusiness Week article on what some of the leading presidential hopefuls drive. The question here is not how Obama can say Detroit needs to build more-fuel-efficient cars while driving a 21-mpg hog, but whether the American people prefer a hypocritical president or one who can't distinguish between hype and truth.
