 This is what I would assume, since the driver of the stuck limo got out to check things.  I would assume that no matter how "stuck" the President's limo is that the driver does not get out, because if it becomes unstuck with no driver, it is still a sitting target.

As it stands now with the R's and Far Right, they are unable to find a willing candidate for 2012. 

I don't think many USA'ians are in the mood to extend any type of preferential tax benefit to any industry of companies; Especially when these companies are now making Money. 

Michigan gov, declared himself a candidate (as I heard on early morning NPR). He thinks its about time to get rid of the ethanol tax incentives.  If you have an older car, ethanol is death to rubber and petroleum based hoses and gaskets, besides giving you less power and consequently less mileage.

Sorry, but my comment on this thread is meant to be apolitical. The safety of the President is always important.

A photo-op in Ireland seems to be a dubious way to earn a few extra votes, longprime - if it was that easy, he'd show up in Houston, rather than El Paso, and sweep Texas next year.

Maybe cartera's right and he wasn't even there.

Secret Service missed this one. Not good in a tense situation for such a simple thing as a high centering. 

Most problems occur because of the obvious and simple things.

Many more Americans with Irish lineage than Hispanic. Further, those with Irish heritage have voting rights where as fewer Hispanic have vote rights.  

Legal Hispanics also have issues with illegal immigrants. The illegals are also taking jobs away, eliminating a source of low wage workers, and giving all Hispanics (legals) a bad reputation.

His pandering to latinos with the "don't get between Michele and a tamale" line isn't looking so bright at the moment.

What is he doing in Ireland, anyway?

Just a clip, kinda funny.  Bottomed out coming out of the driveway.  Everyone can always use a laugh, so I figured I would share.  Doesn't show how they got it un-stuck.

Happens in the first minute of the clip, the rest is the secret service response.
