WASHINGTON (CNN.com)—Drive it straight off the lot and into the Oval Office.
That’s what President Obama says the American people want, admitting Sunday that the country is ready to shift gears and hit the gas with a new leader.
“I think the American people, you know, they’re going to want that new car smell,” Obama said in an interview that aired Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” “You know, they want to drive something off the lot that — that doesn’t have as much mileage as me.”
