Comments on: Obama to Sponsor NASCAR Car http://donklephant.com/2008/07/11/obama-to-sponsor-nascar-car/ Big Teeth. Huge Ass. Surprisingly Reasonable.

Unlike trendy progressives, NASCAR fans overwhelmingly prefer American cars. While I understand that some Toyota vehicles are made in the USA (by non-union labor), it is still a foreign car. To associate Obama with a foreign and non-union made vehicle doesn't hep with the blue collar base in Michigan, Ohio or Pennsylvania either.

If Barack ever gos on David Letterman maybe both of you can discuss Auto Racing? Let him know! After all there is more to life then Politics! My Big Sis also loves NASCAR too but will only drive 50 miles per hour on the highway! Its safer that way she says. My Most Favorite Driver is Jacques Villeneuve who just missed the Triple Crown of auto racing. Jacques is also a great singer and I have him right next to John Mellencamp on my web site! Yes Jaques is also a great artist like John Mellencamp. Jacques is also one of the influences for my own music. Anther fan afilmby combined a great video with highlights of Jaque's racing career and one of my favorite songs on YouTube. Jacques Villeneuve - "Accepterais Tu" translation is Soulmates - Youtube Music Video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4WiJeG_PBo&feature=related David Letterman also loves auto racing.

On the one hand, you're supposed to stand for change, hope etc. On the other hand... gas might be $5/gallon by the time this event rolls around, and Obama's gonna slap his name on one of the most wasteful sports products out there.
