    Number of gov't-owned limos soared 73% under Obama


    State Department dominates the limo count, says purchases reflect need to protect diplomats and foreign visitors in a dangerous world

    Most of the increase was recorded in Hillary Clinton’s State Department.

    According to General Services Administration data , the number of limousines in the federal fleet increased from 238 in fiscal 2008, the last year of the George W. Bush administration, to 412 in 2010. Much of the 73 percent increase—111 of the 174 additional limos—took place in fiscal 2009, more than eight months of which corresponded with Obama’s first year in office. However, some of those purchases could reflect requests made by the Bush administration during an appropriations process that would have begun in the spring of 2008.

    Which of these "limos" was used to go to a high school baseball game, Darrin?

    No one even knows what these cars are, but no one said anything about their misuse.

    Just looking at the increased amount make it looks like it stinks.
    If, on top of that, they're used for non-official duties, then it's a travesty.
