Since they NY Times took a gander at Rubio's driving record let's take a look at Berries!
Even though Senator Marco Rubio was attacked for his traffic violations on the pages of the New York Times on Friday, it turns out that President Obama has just as questionable a driving record.
Rubio and his wife may have received 17 traffic violations over the course of eighteen years, but their violations were paid in a timely manner. On the other hand, while Obama may have paid for his parking tickets eventually, it still took him seventeen years to do it.
The Washington Post reported on the story:
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama got more than an education when he attended Harvard Law School in the late 1980s. He also got a healthy stack of parking tickets, most of which he never paid.
The Illinois Senator shelled out $375 in January _ two weeks before he officially launched his presidential campaign _ to finally pay for 15 outstanding parking tickets and their associated late fees.
Obama received 17 parking tickets in Cambridge between 1988 and 1991, mostly for parking in a bus stop, parking without a resident permit and failing to pay the meter, records from the Cambridge Traffic, Parking and Transportation office show.
Interestingly enough, Jen Psaki, then a spokesperson for Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, ignored the issue of Obama’s unpaid tickets when they were reported on.
If we are going to judge politicians by their driving record, it seems only fair that we hold all elected officials to the same standards. However, we’re probably not going to see the Times with a story on Obama’s traffic violations anytime soon.
