Coincidence or Was Obama Ridin' Dirty?

They see Obama rollin', they hatin'.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- A Chrysler 300C once leased by President Barack Obama is for sale on eBay with the eye-popping "opening bid" of $1 million.

The opening bid, which is dictated by the seller, means that bidding for the car must start at that price.

The woman who posted the car on eBay Motors, Lisa Czibor, said she has received some criticism for the high asking price but that the current owner of the car fully expects to get that amount.

Czibor said in a phone interview with CNNMoney that she is listing the car for someone else but looks forward to getting a commission on the sale. She describes herself as a "life-long Ronald Reagan old-school conservative."

"It's all about the money for me," she said

She's unlikely to get anything like a million dollars, said Craig Jackson, president of the Barrett-Jackson auto auction company.

"Maybe this car would be worth $50,000 to $100,000."

The hearse which carried the body of John F. Kennedy following his 1963 assassination in Dallas recently sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction for $160,000.

Jackson's company has sold several presidential cars and none have ever brought anything approaching that kind of money, he said.

It might help if the car, itself, were innately rare or valuable, but it's not. The car is a stock late-model Chrysler very similar to many thousands of others that are still on the road. With no presidential connection, it would be worth about $20,000 as a used car.

Also, history has yet to render a verdict on Obama's presidency.

A presidential parade limousine used by Franklin Roosevelt, a Cadillac V-16 convertible, was recently auctioned off at an RM Auctions sale in Arizona for $270,000.

The eBay listing provides a few examples of other cars that have sold for surprising amounts, though. A Peugeot once owned by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sold for £1.5 million pounds -- roughly $2.4 million.

She also mentions a 1999 Volkswagen Golf once owned by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger -- now known as Pope Benedict XVI -- which sold for $244,000.

Czibor provided CNNMoney with a scanned copy of an Illinois Certificate of Title showing Barack Obama as the lessee. The car currently has 20,800 miles on it.

She would not say how the car came into the current owner's possession.

A spokesperson for the White House did not immediately comment on the eBay listing.

Obama was a U.S. Senator representing Illinois during the time he owned the car. After driving the Chrysler sedan for over 19,000 miles Obama traded it for a 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid in the summer of 2007 as he was beginning his presidential campaign.

The Chrysler gets about 18 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving, according to EPA estimates, while the Escape Hybrid gets about 30.

Nothing really good until the end when we see that Obama started rocking the hybrid for the start of his campaign.  At least he didn't trade it in for a Toyota Prius.  People who drive Priuses (Piri?) are f*cking douche bags.  I saw one guy on the highway last week in a Prius with the vanity plate "Hybrid." Really bro?  No sh!t.  If you wanted to be more obvious you should have a plate that reads "Small Dick."  I once heard that people who really care about the environment get a hybrid version of a regular car.  People who want to be applauded and get credit for caring about the environment get a Prius.

Wouldn't it be awesome if the Chrysler this lady was trying to sell belonged to some other dude named Barack Obama?  Or if it belonged to Barak Obamma, no C and two Ms?  A la George Costanza thinking he bought Jon Voight's car (also a Chrysler).

Two songs to get the Friday going for Obama:

Robber Misses Opportunity for Comedy Gold

Pocono Record - A Brodheadsville man accused of robbing a local pharmacy of painkillers made the job easier for police by leaving behind his birth certificate.

Stroud Area Regional Police say Keith A. Rebori, 23, robbed the East Stroudsburg CVS of painkillers on Thanksgiving Day.

A man entered the CVS and handed the pharmacist a bag and threatening note demanding all of the Oxycodone, Oxycontin and Xanax, police said. The pharmacist gave him 798 Oxycodone tablets, after which the man left.

Police later searched the area, finding a hooded sweatshirt, a backpack and the note used in the robbery. They also reviewed the surveillance video, which showed a man in the pharmacy earlier that day, wearing the same hooded sweatshirt and carrying the same backpack, police said.

Police said the backpack contained Rebori's birth certificate. He was arrested, placed in Monroe County Correctional Facility in lieu of $25,000 bail and will appear in district court at a future date.

In comedy timing is everything and this dude had none.  If this guy was smart, he would have robbed this pharmacy back when Donald Trump was making a big deal out of whether or not Obama was born in the US and printed out a copy of Obama's birth certificate.  Bing, bang, boom, even if you get caught you'll get to go on The Daily Show to pay for your legal defense.

Can't Tell Me Nothin'...**

So, I've been watching the news over the past few days & keeping up with Tropical Storm 'Lee' which has been bearing down on New Orleans. So, besides the obvious question of 'Why, after the complete devastation, death, and destruction of Hurricane Katrina, did people stay there and rebuild, thinking it would yield different results?'* (see note at the end for clarification), I started wondering WWKD if there is another bad situation down there. Yup! WWKD--What Will Kanye Do? I mean, in the aftermath of Katrina, he completely figured George W. out, and much to the dismay of Mike Myers, he shared his discovery on national television:



So, if now or in the near future there's another natural disaster in the Gulf Region, is everyone's favorite rapper going to declare that President Barack Obama also does not care about black people? I really hope he comes out with something like that---after all, Barack is half white, so be may be a racist just like G.W.B.... Plus, there is already bad blood between Kanye & Barack ever since he upstaged Taylor Swift during the VMAS....


And truthfully, there is NOTHING Kanye could say or do that would amaze me. But again, I suppose he's just 'misunderstood' and we should all be more accepting of him. Obviously his comments about Bush take the cake, but here other ridiculous rants & crazy comments by Kanye:










And, besides Barack Obama's comments, here are two of my other favorite celebrity reactions to his Taylor Swift VMA shenanigans:


*My money's on 50 here and always....


*Snoop is unreal....and I think he'd be just the one to administer the kick in the ass...

*(yes, I know it is a beautiful place and home to many people, but I just couldn't imagine rebuilding THERE after I lost everything and ran a pretty high risk of losing everything again at some point in the future seeing as though it is below sea level)

**The title of this post is a nod to one of Kanye's song titles....I'm so sharp!
