If President Obama were to buy a car....
It may go something like this:

President Obama: I want to finance the purchase of this Corvette and I will not pay one cent over the sticker price and I will not pay one bit over the Prime interest rate!

Car Salesman: Oh No Sir! We will not sell you this car unless you also purchase the following:
1. Extended Warranty
2. Scotchgard
3. Clear coat
4. And finally you HAVE to use our "preferred" lender...

President Obama: Well...I guess I need that Corvette....so...OK...

5. We'll, that's quite a trick since clear coat comes on the car, Scotch Guard isn't needed on leather,...
it comes with a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty, and the preferred lender is probably at zero percent......but if he wants all of that, let it rip......

10. But he thought it was a Corvette when he bought it from
a Republican Chevy Car Dealer. His Ford Pinto is the same color
as the vette he saw in the show room.

11. My wife and I just bought her a new ford...
While we were "negotiating" the sales person had the gall to say to me, "hey, we are trying to make money here, can't you see that?". I laughed at him and said, "that's fine, but I'm trying to save money here, can't you see that? My mission is to keep as much money in my wallet as possible". LOL
