GUESS BARACK OBAMA CAN NEVER BE PRESIDENT NOW

[Cheebs]

Before Barack Obama was a United States senator and a presidential hopeful, he was a Harvard University law student living in Somerville who parked in bus stops and accumulated hundreds of dollars in parking tickets. And for nearly two decades those parking tickets went unpaid, until a representative of Obama’s settled all his outstanding debts with Cambridge’s Traffic, Parking and Transportation Department Jan. 26.

            Obama attended Harvard Law School from 1988 to 1991. During his time at Harvard, Obama lived at 365 Broadway in Somerville, according to his parking tickets. Records from the Cambridge Traffic, Parking and Transportation office show that between Oct. 5, 1988 and Jan. 12, 1990 Obama was cited for 17 traffic violations, sometimes committing two in the same day. The abuses included parking in a resident permit area, parking in a bus stop and failing to pay the meter. Twelve of Obama’s 17 tickets were given to him on Massachusetts Avenue.

            In one eight day stretch in 1988, Obama was cited seven times for parking violations and was fined $45. Thirteen of the 17 violations occurred within one month in 1988.

            Obama’s disobedience of the rules of the road earned him $140 in fines from the City of Cambridge. The tickets went unpaid for over 17 years and $260 in late fees were added to the tab.

He CONSTANTLY got tickets while in Law School and never paid them till this January when he decided to run for president. 

If you can't trust him with a car how can you trust him with the white house?

A black man in the US? He never was going to be prez in the first place.

I'll vote for him, it still doesn't mean he will win.

But but he CANT DRIVE WELL

and ditto on voting for him dispite the fact he may lose. Voting for who we think can "win" brought out Kerry as the nominee in 2004, look how well that worked.

I think that despite the BS people spout, the US is still DECADES away from electing a minority or a woman as president. I wouldnt be surprised in the least if I live to be 100 and all the presidents in that time are white males.

England did it already(a women) as has most European countries.    I believe the next French prime minister is likely to be a female.

I said the US, though. Here in Canada, we've already had a female PM. Although shes more a footnote than anything, since she got plutoed within a year

Hearing a world leader be "banned" is hilarious for some reason.

She basically did though. Kim Campbell, we salute you!

My dad had so many parking tickets in college that they put out a warrant for his arrest. I'm surprised that didn't happen to Obama

That's why I just walk to school. I see people getting tickets all the time lol

I just realized something eerie from looking at that news report.

Barack Obama was still in college as Bill Clinton planned to start running for president.

I want to know his LSAT score!

Well, let's look on the bright side of things.  If a Obama is elected we can all have a hoot and a holler by betting over how quickly he's gonna be assassinated.
