According to Sports Illustrated, Obama’s campaign is in talks to sponsor a car for the Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway. For those of you not in the know, that’s a NASCAR event.

So he abandons public financing because he’s created this noble small donor based “semi-public” financing system of his own, and we’re all supposed to be okay with that. Then he refuses to use his millions to help Hillary (a woman he claims to respect and admire for the fight she put up in the primary) retire her massive campaign debt. And now he’s going to spend his extra millions to do something noble like sponsor a car during a NASCAR race?

Frankly, this whole thing smacks of pandering. But then again, maybe it will be like when Hillary backed Eight Belles to win the Kentucky Derby. We all know how well that turned out.

And Obama’s decision to sponsor a NASCAR entry lends itself to a lot of new slogans that his campaign might be able to throw on a T-Shirt or a Bumper Sticker.

Obama: Changes positions every lap.

Obama: He only knows how to turn to the Left.

Obama: Moving fast, going nowhere.

Obama: Makes more sense if you’ve been drinking.

Obama: Leading America in Circles.

Obama: His views depend on where he is in the race.

NASCAR: Because I am not an elitist. (feel free to add in Nixon’s double-V for the effect)

NASCAR: Because I believe in reducing fossil fuel emissions!

NASCAR: Because buying a football stadium would be pushing it.

Feel free to add your own Obama NASCAR slogans in the comments…have a good weekend.
