Obama makes fun of pickup owners
President Obama made fun of Senator-elect Scott Brown because he
drives a pickup truck and used it in his campaign. Obama was
suggesting that Brown is a Pickup Poser. "Forget the truck," Obama
said during a Sunday rally for Democratic Senate candidate Martha
Coakley in Boston. "Everybody can buy a truck." Brown, the president
said, has "decided to park his truck on Wall Street."

Brown's campaign jabbed back in a statement on Monday. "Mr. President,
unfortunately in this economy, not everybody can buy a truck."
Brown has over 200,000 miles on his pickup. Whether he posed with the
truck or not doesn't matter. What Obama forgets is that many
Americans have a love affair with their pickups - me included. I
drive it because I like to drive it - not because its practical.
