One of my favorite
stories of the day comes from the UK. A rich Arab sheik sent his Lamborghini on a 6500-mile round trip to Britain
for an oil change. This is my kind of guy. I've almost done this myself, just wait, I'm going to tell you the
story here. This guy put his Lamborghini, it's a black and gold Lamborghini, he put this thing on a Qatar airlines
cargo plane and shipped it to London because it can only be serviced by licensed dealers. He had to get the oil
change. The oil change cost something like $7,000. The oil change and service.
(...)
I love it. I'm not endorsing him, but I absolutely love it. The guy puts his car on the jet, flies it to London,
brings it back to the Middle East after an oil change. I love it simply 'cause it makes the environmentalist wackos
mad. There is no carbon footprint associated with this. There's no economic damage. There is certainly
no climate damage with this. These people are all, as we know, promoting a hoax, but this guy
was just following Obama's suggestion for crying out loud.
Obama just got through telling us, keep your tires
inflated and get your car tuned up so we won't have to drill.
So here's an oil sheik, who, Obama, middle name Hussein, guy must know what he's talking about, "I'm going to send my
car in and get it tuned up and make sure they check the tires." This guy deserves praise. This guy deserves
accolades. He didn't want to risk a bunch of mechanics coming to his country. He had to send it back to where it
came from. Look, I thought about doing this in a different way. (interruption) I know people starving in the
region over there. In the Middle East? Sure there are. So, what about the people starving?
