Every car in America is required to ding or beep incessently until you buckle your seatbelt. It's the most annoying sound on the planet.
Curiously that Federal requirement
does not extend to President Obama's limousine.
In a March 2010 photo released by the White House, Obama is clearly not wearing his seatbelt while he talks on the phone in the presidential limo.
In Washington, it is mandatory for all passengers to wear a seatbelt, and violations can result in a $50 fine and two points on the driver's license.
And all throughout New Jersey towns run seatbelt checkpoints ("Click it or Ticket") during which they rake in hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for non-compliance.
I'm pretty sure there isn't a "President Obama" exemption written into the seatbelt law, in DC or NJ.
But of course laws are only for us little people. Nobody's about to write Barry a ticket, not even those sanctimonious ticket blitzers in the Cedar Grove PD.
So, since I now know it's possible to turn that stupid ding off (I can't believe Barry and his family ride around in a car which constantly nags them to buckle up) I'm gonna demand that the dealer turn it off in my car too.
If freedom means anything it means that no bureaucrat should be able to dictate
that a car which I paid for can annoy the living crap out of me on a daily
basis. It should mean that, right? But no, I won't hold my breath.
