Obama’s Car: Only $1 million!

By Jay Newton-Small | @JNSmall | January 14, 2009 | +

For anyone who’s a HUGE (and wealthy) Barack Obama fan — like verging on psycho stalker Obama fan –act now and you can get his Chrysler 300c for the bargain basement price of $1 million on ebay. If you’re less of a stalker — or just not as filthy rich — you can also start the bidding at $100,000.

From a press release promoting the sale:

(MMD Newswire) January 14, 2009 — The owner of a 2005
Chrysler 300c became aware that Barack Obama was the
previous driver of his vehicle. A website has been created….
www.obamas300c.com and the car has been placed on eBay.
The opening bid starts at $100,000 with a buy it now price of
$1,000,000. The 300 c is loaded with leather, sunroof, navigation,
chrome wheels, and a HEMI.

According to the website, in July 2004, Barack Obama took
delivery of this 2005 Chrysler 300c from Park Plaza Dodge in
Forest Park, Illinois. In 2007, Obama swapped his Chrysler
sedan for a Ford Escape Hybrid at Hawk Ford in Oak Lawn, IL.
Hawk Ford then transfered the 300C back to Park Plaza Dodge.
Finally in February 08, the current owner purchased the 300C
from them.

The car was previously listed on eBay in December 2008.
There was a bidding war, and with about three days left, the top
bid was a little above $125,000.  However, the owner canceled
the auction due to short term capital gain tax  issues.

The owner intends to donate a portion of the proceeds to
various charities.

    The Phony War: Obama and Romney Are Debating Character, Not Policy

    More than five months from Election Day, the back-and-forth about Mitt Romney’s record at Bain already feels played out. Unfortunately, there’s good reason to expect the campaign continues in this vein indefinitely. Neither Barack Obama nor Mitt Romney are terribly interested in dwelling on policy platforms. Romney’s plan to slash spending and keep taxes low on the wealthy isn’t especially popular, at least not at any level of detail beyond a blithe promise to shrink the deficit. Meanwhile, Obama’s signature first-term achievements, like health care, the stimulus and Wall Street reform, are all unpopular or tricky to sell. (The Dodd-Frank bill is the most popular of these, but hyping it means offending wealthy donors.) So what we’re getting instead is a superficial duel about character–and, worse, one that’s based on the largely false premise that the better man can better “manage” the economy back to health.

    Richardson, Holder, Geithner, and Hillary also on eBay.

    5 francs for the lot and holding.

    No new bids last 48 hours.

    Reserve has been met.

    Wow. I know what I’m getting my mom for her birthday.

    Of course, the correct car for Frozone The Great would be a Vett.

    You know.

    Something powerful that he really can’t handle, can’t explain, can’t locate, and can’t drive.

    I have a basketball that used to be owned by Barack Obama. Must be worth at least 10,000.

    “Great news about Jim Rice; a maligned and often misunderstood left fielder.”

    He and Henderson did the Top 10 on Mavis Letterboob last night.

    I saw Rice play his last minor game in Bristol CT before he and Fred both went to Beanburgh.

    Too bad that the WTMZ press in Boston kept trying to rake the Yaz and Williams coals over him, for the duration.

    He would have made a happy Yankee, of course.

    A good guy, on a mediocre team.

    This just in:

    Teddy Kennedy’s missing personal passenger flotation device also now on eBay.

    Never used, dropped once.

    Kind of like a French World War II rifle.

    Insert “Pimp My Ride” jokes here.

    Andy – Jim Rice looked 30 years younger yesterday – a grin from ear to ear. He’d been a trooper for so long, insisting that it didn’t matter to him.
    .
    Also very happy about both Smoltz and Penny. Would much rather have both for a year than the Sabbathia and Burnett signings.
    .
    Also – I really do in fact have a photograph signed by Yaz. He financed his car at a bank where my mother worked in the loan department. Dear sweet mom had him sign it to “Kathleen,” but I’ve gotten over that.

    Damn. If it were anything but a Chrysler.

    The 300 c is loaded with leather, sunroof, navigation,
    chrome wheels, bits of Larry Sinclair’s DNA, and a HEMI.

    No thanks, I spent my eBay money on this.

    .
    And furthermore:
    .
    I’m sure most MSM reporters – including all those here – would love to be able to buy the car, but they don’t have the talent to have sold themselves out for enough money to buy it. Leave it to those few MSM reporters who are talented enough to have sold themselves out for the big bucks.
