Quick Question:

[glatt]

Did you see the Seinfeld/Obama Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee episode? Obama was bragging that the Presidential limo has seat warmers in the rear. Seinfeld had to explain to him that all cars come with those now, and Obama seemed a bit surprised.

That's a good example of how Presidents lose touch with the real world. I heard a similar story about Dan Quayle being excited when he saw a scanner at the supermarket checkout upon leaving office.

But my point isn't about insulated Presidents. It's about how cars come with lots of bells and whistles now. Many of them are mandated, like airbags. But all those bells and whistles are not cheap.

Nor are those bells and whistles trouble free.

No they are not. On both counts.

Really? All cars, or all cars that Seinfeld would consider?

Wasn't it GHW Bush while he was in office?

Quayle's problem wasn't being insulated from the outside world, it was insulation between his ears.
