If Obama Were A Car, What Car Would He Be?
Some firm that does focus groups ran them with independent voters who voted for President Obama in 2008 but are undecided in 2012. The voters were asked to describe Obama as if he were a car. The results are somewhat interesting. Some voters described President Obama favorably -- as a Ford Taurus or a Toyota Minivan. Others weren't so kind.
There's "The Dale":
It was supposed to come out in the 1970s. It was a woman who -- it's a great story if you've never heard of it -- she gave us this car, the Dale, which was supposed to end the gas crisis. It was supposed to be for the masses, kind of like the Volkswagen -- user-friendly. It was this really kind of cool, sleek-looking car. And then, the thing never ran, it was a false bill of goods. It looked good on paper, but when it came to delivering, it was worse than it even came out to be.
Hybrid SUV:
Trying to be all things to all people and being unsuccessful at all of it.
Broken Down Junker:
There's no hope of repair, no hope of salvage, it's just gone.
Ouch.

The Chevy Vega
"The Vega received praise and awards at its introduction, including Motor Trend Car of the Year.[1] Subsequently the car was known for a wide range of problems related to its engineering,[2] reliability,[3] safety,[4][5] propensity to rust, and engine durability. Despite a series of recalls and design upgrades, the Vega's problems tarnished both its own as well as General Motors' reputation. Production ended with the 1977 model year."

Re: If Obama Were A Car, What Car Would He Be?
My son and I have a running joke about those square, boxy, but little cars with ironic names that each Japanese manufacturer seems to offer. We can't remember which is which so when called upon to identify one we laugh and point out the Toyota Scrotum, or maybe that's the Nissan Scrotum I don't know...

Not only was The Dale a fraud, but so was Ms. Dale, since "she" was actually a "he" in drag.
A perfect metaphor for the Boy King, I think.
