@ Bill -"Geroge W. Bush = Low I.Q. over grown brat. Clown.
Dick Cheney = Criminal, Jerk, White Trash, should be in Jail.
Rush Limbaugh = Loud Mouth, Pig Faced, White Trash."

Bush has a higher I.Q. than Obama. ( I dare anyone to actually prove both test scores.)
"White trash" is racist.

So he has a vehicle and can make a prefect three-point turn. Tripping security alarms happens all the time. Where's the news? Put some effort into the piece. Was he showing off his GREEN vehicle? Was it taxpayer provided, etc? Would comparisons bring depth to the piece?Obama has a pimped out vehicle that cost a few times more than the presidents' usual rides.

how can the people blame politicians for partisian bickering instead of creating solutions, when by reading these posts it seems that the populace at large simply engages in the same non-constructive diatribe rhetoric. The end result of the democratic process is directly linked to the quality of its citizens political debate. You can bash Rush or Democratic progressive radio, but the truth is we are all engaging in the same three second information bite intended to attack personalities instead of working on solutions, that the talk radio heads do.

hey zoeysmom you idiot do you really want to bring up what obama was doing before he ran for president, do you? I didn't think so , so shut up

nice car. what did he do with the rest of his gas guzzlers?

GM was restructured to avoid liquidation, which probably saved close to a million jobs, it was what was needed to renegotiate its labor contracts, and become more productive and eliminate massive waste of resources. These idiots that use the term 'Obama Motors' are clueless. I guess the Republican approach should have been taken of 'do nothing' let the company be liquidated all jobs with suppliers, manufacturers etc go down the tank at the same time, or we could have just taken the approach Bush did and throw money at them continuously and not force them to change their practices. We might not ever get a dime back from what we have done with GM, but the alternative would have been far worse and had dire consequences on the economy, at least now they are still afloat and have the option to rebuild and try to become profitable again.

in response to bob it seems to me the haterd started jan.20th omama has tried to focus on the agendas. every step of the way he has been blocked and the party that was put out of power still think they are on the playground. everytime a measure is proposed a group is insulted the proposals they present are not passed. obama said this is a time of change,not business as usual. it seems the current adminn is blamed for everything that goes wrong. we ttried trickle down plans now lets try a fair and balanced monatary system
and let the under class have a chance

he is too old to be president let alone drive

Does he still have a license???

He's a P.O.W. dammit, he had to go whithout a new car... for every garage for 51/2 years(shakes fist at cloud).

@Bob- Your statement is the most mature post I've seen. Glad to see someone debate the issues and not personal attacks, or insults.

How many cars does he need? Didn't he just get a new car last year? I guess it just peanuts to Cindy. Honey, the ashtray's full, time for a new car!!! Does his wife still take the jet to get around?

TCM. you post all the time. The only difference is you are in your mom's basement. Why don't you, Phoenix86, Willy Brown, Matthew in Detroit and Mississippi Mike get together and makes smores and play D&D.

thank you and god bless.

Bob...democrats are the party of hatred and intolerance? you've GOT to be kidding..me we're the party of "we're tired of the republicans years and years of crap!" we're venting...we've had enough of this nonsense your party spews out...if anyone's hateful it's YOU AND YOUR PARTY! such ignorance

John McCain is a hero. He's a moderate Republican who demonstrated character and sportsmanship when he conceded the election.

Remember Ford didn't take our tax dollars. When Obama tries to raise our taxes, please remember that Ford didn't take our money. Buy Ford, not GM or Chrysler...

Vote against Obama, against GM and Chrysler. It is the only way that they will learn their lessons.

The utter hatred on these posts is disgusting and foul. Please people, focus on the article, not the unbridled hatred that you need to spew. Change remember? Not the same old politics remember? The Republicans may be the party of no but the Democrats are surely the party of hatred and intolerance. Can't we all drop the hatred please?

Funny you libs slammed McCain but he is ok now that he is not a threat.

@Dutch/Bad Newz, VA -

McCain was/is a RINO, dutch, you know that...the only thing he might have done, is he wouldn't have run up our greatgrandchildren's tax debt. And, he wouldn't have reveled in a rock star status.. I believe that he had better, and more refined presidential qualities, however, with the election being bought and paid for with corruption...I'm just sitting back and watching you libs get disappointed on a daily basis...you really bought a lemon!~

Geez....Lil TIM IN SEATTLE --someone hurt your feelings about your lil obammy? You're still on square one, calling names when you can't defend Obamnuts positions...I'd rather converse with Dutch...
Now, go sort your recyclables.....I bet you have a compost pile, huh?

If I had a penny for words used most by the liberals......."hateful", "stupid", "pathetic", "racist" etc...................I'd be rich like those Democrats running our government.

"Party on" TCM and Phoenix86.............I love to read your comments, and I can handle the truth!

@TCM......It just eats you alive that an African-American man is leader of the free world and you are just a bitter, sniveling nothing whining on a two bit blog. Do yourself a favor and stop embarrassing yourself

Karen – Missouri, you are SO perceptive! Do you think is really was a publicity stunt – maybe to get people to pay attention to the great cars that the last non-bankrupt US car company is making? Ya think?

To everyone rising to sniffit's bait – don't waste your time. His fifth grade history class hasn't really studied the Vietnam War yet. He knows nothing of honor or service to one's country, or what makes a man like John McCain tick.

I'm surprised he is still authorized to have a driver's license!

Why is this even news? Must be a pretty slow day for CNN.

Nice everyone should buy a American car. Yes I know some of the parts are made over seas but we as consumers must demand American products built by Americans.

It is not the Governments job it is our responsibility as consumers to pay into our economy and our jobs when ever possible.

if john drives a car the same way he flew jets maybe two of americas biggest problems can be eliminated at the same time.

He missed getting a ride in the BEAST! He had to get a substitute.

mccain and grahm in a car at the same time. where are your out of control semi's when you need em.

Okay. So he has everything. Benefits of being a war hero, I suppose.

too bad it couldn't have been the presidential limo

@ makesUwonder -

kudos and a Virtual "high 5," to you!

@ TCM

Well he's the President of the Unites States of America, deal with it! As for your boy Johnny Mac, I respect his service to this country, but his poor judgement(Sarah Palin -aka- Failin Palin -aka- The Joke -aka- The Divider) is why he's NOT the President of the Unites States of America.

Is'nt this car number 19 or 20 that he owns? I really dont think he knows either... He sure dosent know how many houses he has.

WAKE UP!

@ Dutch/Bad Newz, VA -

Watch the commercials? haha...that's exactly how OBama hooked you in the first place...infommericals.... GM's going nowhere...people won't buy them....the majority of the country resented the bailout..and Ford's got brownie points for backing off. GM and Chrysler both look weak, and people don't want to buy where they'll feel it won't be covered. As far as OBama spewing that he'll cover the warranty...well, that grease monkey, and I use that term loosely, doesn't keep his word very well.....Ford gets the respect, because they EARNED it...

Sirius radio? Is that his direct line from Limbaugh for daily talking points?

Anyway – all his ranting about bullying Iran right now (instead of diplomacy, and health care and all the other stuff going on here) reminds me of when he quit his campaign to go back and push Bush's stimulus package thru.

Just saying .....

I guess I'm in the minority when it comes to these "silly" articles, but I like reading stuff like this. Although I liked Obama better, I didn't dislike McCain. I like knowing he's invested in Ford, and as someone pointed out, one of the big 3 that actually didn't take bailout money. McCain is a good man and lost the election. Obama is a good man and won the election. What amazes me is how a simple article about McCain buying a Ford fusion ignites such hate speech from people on both sides of America's political environment.

@ TCM

Why are you eaten up with fear , hate and insecurity? I know your political philosophy has been soundly rejected by America and you are now the minority voice in America, but Stop your right wing hate...
.....it kills
Dont be a silent killer

@ skyhawkdriver

Who cares if he crashed F16s or A4s or Ultralights? He did nail like 3 of them and the post was tongue-in-cheek.

John McCain's way of giving an backhanded slap to General Motors and Chyslyer, in the name of going green, trades in his Cadillac. When was the last time he went on TV to show off his new car??

What did he do with that gas guzzling Toyota Sequoia.
So transparent!

@Chris in Va. -

Not bitter, just an American Soldier that's defended this country for 20 yrs, junior...what are you? A fry cook working for Mr. Krabbs?

Anytime a conservative says something, you know right away that a liberal can't defend, they always come back with the "bitter, hater, line...classic...dude...keep on signing the coke song and riding your unicorn. Then, when you actually have a job, and OBama's taxing you so much to pay for the entitlements for the lazy slackers of this country...perhaps, then, maybe, you'll wise up. It's not about being a hater, or bitter...it's about educating yourself about what this incompetent administration is doing to the country...now, obviously, you've some studying to do...so, off you go...

Hmmm. Wonder if he's going to get one in every color to match his dozen homes? Must be saving the Rolls/Cadilliac's for Sunday!

@LacrosseMom June 16th, 2009 5:33 pm ET

OBAMA DOES NOT OWN CHRYSLER OR GM, WE ALL DO!

======================================================

I DON'T WANT TO OWN THEM! I will get nothing out of it, but a larger tax bill.

TCM June 16th, 2009 5:28 pm ET

@ Bigotry > Hate > Home Grown Terrorism -

Yeah Phoenix86 may be all that…but, at least he's not an OBama supporter…I cannot think of a greater personal insult to one's self; but to vote out of sheer ignorance for sheer incompetence….I guess the majority of his supporters fall for the "Shamwow," commerical too…

Phoenix86 is dead on with most of his posts; speaking the truth. You see, truth to liberals is like kryptonite to Superman. Rock on Phoenix!
_________________________________________________________

Well said TCM and as usual you are correct regarding Phoenix86 being dead on.......Actually, you both are always dead on......it's always nice to be in great company!

Just another publicity stunt. Now...HOW MANY cars does that make for McCain????

TCM....................................................
Really, haven't all the GOP's ideology FAILED miserably? Well it has, keep crying. Take a look around, how well did the USA do under bush? Things are getting better. TARP was Bush. Auto bail outs is Bush again, wasteful optional war that was not included in our budget...Bush, ignoring our economy.... Bush, ignoring the environment take a guess? Yep, Bush! Stop and take a deeper look into things. And ask yourself how we got here. And be honest, oh Waite, your a republican so that would be impossible. Sorry

Dont forget people. Obama ordered several thousand cars for the white house staff.
This is more than likely one of them.
McCain is probably one of the first to get one & in true
McCain fashion he of course shows it off right after he is handed the keys.
YOU & YOUR CHILDREN PAID FOR THE CAR, WISE UP DUMMIES!

Liberal monkeys are sooo funny. The Sniffit monkey needs more monkey chow, he's getting light-headed. Lib monkeys are soooo predictable.

@Texas Teacher June 16th, 2009 5:17 pm ET

Scary that you can be instilling your warped thoughts into an impressionable child.

Willie Brown,
Anyone that has been in Congress more than 2 terms needs to go.
When will that be a long needed law.

Hey sniffit..check you facts..wrong aircraft..perhaps you would like to try landing on an aircraft carrier..it might actually give you something to do besides sitting at home and playing with your little toggle stick..the planes were a4 skyhawks

@NYC REPUB -

I wouldn't say GOP's want gas guzzlers...that's like saying all obama supporters are ignorant....there's one or two with some sense.

Anyway, the batteries used in these hybrids put just as much pollution on the planet as do conventional gas engines. In addition, the mileage difference is not at a premium level just yet, to justify the increase in price. Honda was working with a hydrogen car...prototypes are sold in CA, I believe. We (conservatives) don't want pollution as much as the most liberal-squeaking lib; we just don't want the gov't trying to do anything associated with efficiency...or requires a certain level of competence. Now that OBama's in office, and lies through his teeth on every public speaking occasion...we really don't want the gov't involved.

Yo Ernie in LA, do your homework. The Obamas owned a Ford Escape Hybrid long before he ran for President.

Graham wasn't joking.

@ phoenix86

I'm with Sniffit on this one and you're off rambling about Obamobiles. Watch a GM commercial and get a clue! GM are keeping the good brands and getting rid of the useless ones. Not to mention with the new emission standards set in place to get 30 mpgs to every vehicle, it's a good step forward. I guess you're fine with the U..S. not having an auto industry.

Congrats Senator McCain! We appreciate you supporting our American Automakers. Is it really so hard for people on here to be happy for someone? It's not a requirement to say something negative about a person just because you didn't vote for them.

I would never vote for John McCain who is responsible for the Palin cancer that's been growing in America, but it's ok for him to be happy about buying a new car.

Should have let then give him a Prius.

Hey CNN...

Is this in any way, shape or form NEWS?

@ phoenix86...... Please get your facts right, before you comment.

1. The "Big Three" asked Obama to RESCUE them.

2. Ford did not need to be rescued, so we, the People do not own them.

3. Chrysler & GM, FAILED ALL by themselves! And then came BEGGING for TAXPAYER MONEY.

OBAMA DOES NOT OWN CHRYSLER OR GM, WE ALL DO!

phoenix86, I disagree. I think you will see Ford flourish under private management while you see GM go the way of other government run transportation programs...like Amtrak. GM will never succeed. It will just be a dump for billions of tax dollars.

@TCM......Boy aren't you the "bitter" and bigoted one, perhaps you should be the one to lead your party of irrelevancy onto the scapheap of bad ideas.

So the greedy rich man is showing off his greedy rich "stuff". I could care less and I wish he'd disappear just like I wish Palin would disappear. But at least McCain has a brain in his head, unlike Palin, even if I disagree with pretty much everything he says.

Wow, nice car... he must REALLY have something to compensate for!

About as big a news as the Beverly Palins.

Why is this news? Seriously I know you guys have to find fillers but why is this your filler. I would really like to know. Next McCain accidently trips over his shoe laces? I mean come on.

@ phoenix86 June 16th, 2009 4:59 pm ET

McCain should sell the car. Obama Motors and the UAW are going to put Ford out of business. Ford, while a good company, can't compete with a federally funded automobile company.
======================================================

I don't think so. Ford did NOT need government money to run their company.

I won't be buying GOVERNMENT MOTORS, you know once its owned by the government it is a piece of JUNK. Desidned to break every few hundred miles so they can make more money out of you.

Steve(the real one) Did you know that the spirit of the antichrist is in you? I didn't think so

@ Bigotry > Hate > Home Grown Terrorism -

Yeah Phoenix86 may be all that...but, at least he's not an OBama supporter...I cannot think of a greater personal insult to one's self; but to vote out of sheer ignorance for sheer incompetence....I guess the majority of his supporters fall for the "Shamwow," commerical too...

Phoenix86 is dead on with most of his posts; speaking the truth. You see, truth to liberals is like kryptonite to Superman. Rock on Phoenix!

Now just to be sure: If Letterman makes a joke about this, will he get fired for it?

Way to go McCain.....keep it green.....So many GOPers, say americans still want gas guzzlers I think that's bull myself....I like the look of the ford fushion.

I'm sure there was a reason behind Stevie Ray's comment, but for the life of me I don't know what it is.

sooo he's going green? good for him. He's doing what our dictator wants.....Or is it only ok if someone cool and hip gets a hybrid?

For those who complain that stories like these don't deserve attention:

(A) – why did you even read it?
(B) – it seemed to be worthy of your time to vent.

I'm sure there was a reason for this article, but for the life of me I don't know what it is.

Why is this news? Doesn't CNN have some barrack hussein obama drivel to report. I hope obama fails.

FAIL OBAMA FAIL OBAMA FAIL OBAMA

@ TEXAS TEACHER -

What's a shame for this country is potentially, people like you, with an uneducated mindset and ignorant grasp of the economy and real world going on around you...could be trying to teach someone....that's frightening.

Yeah, right!

Like he drives himself around Washington....

ROLF!

Way to go Ford...............................Beautiful car !!

so what? who hasn't set off there alarm?

@ SNIFFITT – yeah, and like it's the taxpayer's responsibility to cover the UAW and OBama's screw-ups...get your face outta obama's backside!

Everyone should buy a Ford if they're buying an American made car; they did what companies should do; restructure and fix internal problems; not stick their hand out to the incompetent one.

@ DUTCH – well, dutch, at least he's earned those 13 driveways..and he's a true American..neither can be said about your waffle boy. He'd be nowhere if white, and had to earn it on his merit...er...excuse me, 100% white.

You know who getting all the attention so he could not take it any longer so he rent a horse and buggy..i mean a ford. This is:News?: peg it right.

good ride

Man, I hope there wasn't a farmer's market within 3 blocks of the capital building

HEY YOU LEFT WING NUT JOBS, YOU CAN MAKE FUN AND BASH THIS GUY ALL YOU WANT, OBAMA STILL WON THE LAST ELECTION......GET OVER IT

Obama should lead by example and own one of these cars as well. McCain has 16 "Cars" and Obama has 16 "Czars." He wants his limo and his Jet and smoke his cigarette.

that is just one of his many cars...who cares...time for fresh ideas, fresh people and new faces grace the political scene...out with the old and in with the newer. These OLD politician need to find a retired community and stop milking tax payers....

CNN is the place for tabloid political news. This story just gives the left a chance to voice how jealous they are.

Why does CNN continue to post these articles that are not news!?! Surely there is something happening in Washington, D.C. worth reporting other than meaningless space filling drivel.

Thank you for sharing that with us... I realize that you hard pressed to keep the GOP "semi party heads" in the press.... but this one takes the cake!

@FORMER republican, NEVER again! June 16th, 2009 5:08 pm ET
You are making some serious charges. "clueless pathological liar", "" I truly despise this woman" "i don't want to be evil like she is. Palin is the anti christ". So I imagine you have proof to back any of your insane statments up! You are spewing hateful opinion only, not fact! Sad thing is your words speak more about you than they do Palin! So former republican, keep your hate within the party of "Tolerance". You are blending in well!

@ phoenix86, who said "Your naivete is past pathetic."

Your fear is palpable.

Why do a crack up laughing everytime I see him

Later that afternoon, McCain and Graham were found parked at Lover's Lookout, picnicking on wine and cheese and snuggling on their favorite gingham blanket...

phoenix86 June 16th, 2009 4:59 pm ET

McCain should sell the car. Obama Motors and the UAW are going to put Ford out of business. Ford, while a good company, can't compete with a federally funded automobile company.

I just have to say, phoenix86, in my opinion you are just an ass! Every comment I've ever seen by you has been incredibly stupid and uninformed.

Number one who cares,,,,,

number two, your going to get almost all comments slamming McCain because immature liberals can not find anything else to do but insult MCain and Palin. Even after they won.

it's news because a person that old isn't normally able to drive. even his buddy in the passenger seat thought they were going to die with mccain at the wheel.

So WHAT? He's still got the mercedes and the porches at his seven other mansions. This is so very stupid.

How many cars he got as today's date??????????????????

Sniffit,

Stop sniffing. It has wrecked your mind. No one is going to be Obamobiles in sufficient quantity to allow GM to survive without further government subsidies. The government won't let GM go once they see that they can channel money from GM to the government.

Your naivete is past pathetic.

@ phoenix, who said "Obama Motors and the UAW are going to put Ford out of business. Ford, while a good company, can't compete with a federally funded automobile company."

Right, because GM's bankruptcy is indicative of it being in such wonderful shape that it's going to run right out and produce 60 million cars that gets sold in 3 weeks flat and thereby take over the entire US auto market. Are you ignorant or do you know you're lying?

Why is this news???

I didn't vote for him....would never vote for him in a million years. But let the guy go for a drive with his buddy...leave him alone for 20 minutes...

This is news?

must be a freebee hope he pays the tax on it

Good Lord, Joe m. What are you talking about?

Why is it ok to pay for foreign medical cost but not pay for American medical cost with taxpayer dollars? We are currently at war and our taxpaying dollars are paying for these countries citizens and their medical bills because we are rebuilding these countries. Where is the outrage on that republicans?

Ironically, we are paying for this on borrowed money from China and Saudia Arabia and this debt is being put on our children. Where is the outrage republicans?

See how stupid you look!

For the first time McCain purchased an American made car to park along side his many foreign made cars. Does he really have a drivers license because Cindy always drives him around.

Great Photo Op but were are McCain's policy proposals to reduce America's addiction to foreign oil? The silence is deafening.

ok, before those hateful people decide to make snarky remarks, who today hasn't had issues with figuring out all the bells and whistles with new cars? i travel a lot and have to drive lots of different cars and find myself setting off the alarm, locking the doors instead of opening it, or pushing the wrong button and having the car stop. so. for those people who want to view this as an opportunity to prove that mccain is somehow senile, incompetent, or whatever else... get over yourselves.

very nice to see our tax dollars finally going into, one, an American product, and an equally efficient one. We hope he doesn't do anything foolish like introduce legislation that would tax highspeed internet service or veiwing the US Open on analog T.V...

The old fart needs to retire as well as Kennedy, Byrd, Spector and all that have been in Congress for more than 12 years..

One would think...and rightly so...that operating a car is more difficult than typing an email. Let's hope he does a better job than he did crashing three F16s...otherwise he might be doing penance by being the one who finally proposes some sort of regulation regarding more frequent testing of elderly drivers. And hear I had him pegged as a horse-n-buggy kinda guy...

Smart man. Unlike some other I heard of.

McCain should sell the car. Obama Motors and the UAW are going to put Ford out of business. Ford, while a good company, can't compete with a federally funded automobile company.

Which one of his 13 driveways is he going to park it in?

Whopty doo! Ya know in his youth, John, had to trade in his horse for a Model T.
