iWatch calls them Limousine Liberals but funding outreach to encourage the common people to ride bicycles while government people remain too important for that and need limousines is a progressive trait, not a liberal one.
Regardless of demanding more specific terminology, the Obama administration cares about putting the manufacturing sector back to work and has boosted limousine ownership by the government 73 percent during his first two years in office, from 238 the last year of the George W. Bush administration to 412 in the first year of the Obama one.
Greater terrorism threats after 2008? That's what they say but it would seem to send the wrong message during a budget crisis. Still, automobile manufacturers like free publicity, just like golfers like that he has played 70 days of golf in two-and-a-half years.
To add comfort to you types who don't think the government really knows what they are doing, the GSA says its numbers may not be accurate even though they are added every year.
GSA spokeswoman Sara Merriam said, “The categories in the Fleet Report are overly broad, and the term 'limousine' is not defined,” adding that “vehicles represented as limousines can range from protective duty vehicles to sedans.” Asked whether the GSA actually knows how many limos it has in its fleet, Merriam responded that GSA “cannot say that its report accurately reflects the number of limousines.”
There are other extremes. Pres. Carter made his staff walk everywhere, which seemed a little over the top, and Pres. Clinton couldn't define what 'is' is, so perhaps not being able to define what a limousine is, is more reasonable.
So buy more limos or the terrorists win.
