The Obamamobile
Posted by Des on November 18, 2008
Though, President-Elect, Barack Obama, may bear many similarities to the late John F. Kennedy, he’s not trying to meet the same fate. This heavy-duty limousine will whisk Obama away after his Inauguration speech on Jan. 20, 2009.
GM has been commissioned to create the tank-limo mash-up and combines the look of their Cadillac DTS but more so based on their heavy-duty 2500s. Add a coat of paint and the Presidential seal and you’ve got a pretty good looking Prez Mobile.
Details on the vehicle are minimal, for obvious reasons, but it does bear five inch-thick translucent windows that “can stop projectiles from assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and high explosives. It’s also said to be built of a combination of blast-proof ceramics and exotic metals, and certainly won’t have a convertible top or sunroof.”
I’m sure the engine will be something massive enough to move all that metal in the event of a getaway but some speculate that Obama’s ride will be a hybrid. Lets just hope that we don’t have to see the ride prove that it’s assassination-proof.

[Video] Republicans: Where Are They Now?
Posted by Des on November 12, 2008
Although, the presidential elections are over, many of you may be fiending for some more political news. We’ve heard a lot from our winner, President elect Barack Obama, but here we have more drama from Sara Palin and some humor from John McCain.
Matt Lauer interviewed Palin in two parts on the “Today Show” and, as always, it was interesting. John McCain made a light-hearted appearance on “The Tonight Show,” wuth an audience full of soldiers, where he spoke of life after the loss of the presidency to Barack Obama.

will.i.am Appears on CNN via Hologram
Posted by Des on November 5, 2008
The Black Eyed Pea spoke to Anderson Cooper using holographic technology on CNN last night. This is the first time that anything like this has been done before. I think we’ll see a lot more of it. It’s crazy. It looks like something out of a movie. Welcome to the 21st century.

[Video] Young Jeezy feat. Nas - “My President is Black”
Posted by Des on November 5, 2008
So while me, and over 2,000 others, shut down Broad Street last night after the election it was pretty evident that Young Jeezy’s “My President is Black” is the hip-hop’s celebratory anthem. It played in every car that was stopped in the middle of the street, every car that had people hanging out of it, and in my iPhone all day. I actually like it more after last night.
