Marlboro revealed their new ad campaign today in an effort to stay one step ahead of the government. Big Tobacco has always been more savvy than the car industry, and they show it again by incorporating Air Force One into their logo.  Congress passed legislation giving the FDA control over tobacco today and the President is expected to sign it. No word yet on whether Michelle Obama, who has graced every U.S. magazine except Sports Illustrated three times since the inauguration, will appear in an ad.

Taking charge of the country’s largest auto maker is too big a deal not to visit in person. The President was so happy to own a 60% stake in GM that he had Air Force One do a barrel roll over the company’s headquarters.  Later he unveiled plans for the new Commander-in-Chief Caddy.  It’s green (of course), gives off very little emissions and runs on pixie dust and horse manure. Kind of like our economy.

The first family visited Indy last week for the Indy 500.  In a nod to the White House’s preference for suspected tax cheats, Helio Castroneves won this year’s race. While in town, the Obama’s slipped into Broadripple and chowed on tenderloins -a Hoosier favorite.

President Obama can’t be blamed for this one.  Turns out Michelle was showing off for some of her friends back in Chi-town where they had one too many apple martinis and decided to stick it to Cardinals fans by flying through the Arch. They even had a “Go Cubs!” banner tied to the back but it fell off somewhere near Decatur, IL. The pilot might have been a little buzzed too, as evidenced by the landing gear still being down.

President Barack Obama took knocked off early one day this week and decided to catch a Yankee game and get an Air Force One photo op.  According to the President, at the moment of this flyover “I was calling for a bunt.  Maybe we’ll take over baseball when we’re done with the auto industry because I definately thought this was a bunt situation.  What does Girardi know anyway?”
