Stone-Anderson missed her car payments in December, January and February and has started receiving calls from Chrysler. She has ignored them.
She said that Chrysler has the paperwork to repossess the car, and it's really just a matter of the company finding it at this point. The car is hard to miss, but Stone-Anderson said she's not worried about the company taking it.
"Barack says he's an eternal optimist," she said. "We're like minds."
It took Stone-Anderson four months of planning and two months of painting to transform the car from humdrum white to a vibrant montage of political art. The car's vignettes call for change in areas such as recycling, alternative energy, breast cancer awareness and health care. In July, she even wrangled the novelty license plate "44 PREZ."
Hale suggested not everyone has been supportive of the Obama car: "Some people have screamed obscenities at her." Isn't there anyone conservative who had a polite conversation of opposition? Or is that not newsworthy?
There's no conservative in the story saying that it might just be the perfect metaphor for people who voted for the Obama administration: Obama supporters expect other people to pay their loans off. They don't have to play by the tiresome rules of unjust capitalism.

March 15, 2009 - 09:53 ET by Wildcatter1980She figured that her voting for The One meant having her car paid for not to mention the never empty tank of gasoline it would have. This is just her way of making sure Obama doesn't forget to take care of her.

Barack Obama Expanding Welfare
March 15, 2009 - 08:25 ET by Retired GeekAlthough 3,880,321 were on welfare as of 12-31-07, the average size of a welfare family is 4.2, resulting in 16,297,348 actually living off of the welfare recipients check.
This is the equivalent of the actual population (not metro population) of New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia and Dallas.
Obama wants these NON workers to 'Catch Up' so he is borrowing billions of dollars from China and give it mostly to these people listed above or to those banks and businesses who have proven they cannot manage their business or themselves.
Barack Obama is selling the United States to China.

Dividing Line in America - Personal Responsibility
March 15, 2009 - 08:33 ET by Retired GeekThe dividing line in America is NOT Democrat or Republican, black or white, but rather who is responsible for each individual citizens actions and decisions.
Approximately 1/2 the country 'Thinks', each individual citizen is responsible for their own decisions and actions.
Approximately 1/2 the country 'Feels', that someone or something, is responsible for the individual citizens decisions and actions, NOT THE INDIVIDUAL CITIZEN.
This dividing line transcends political parties, races and creeds and is the reason America is in the shape it is currently experiencing, in all areas of life.
Whether one is a CEO or a janitor, practices abortion rather than birth control, engages in sex perversion or not, each individual citizen is responsible for their own actions and decisions.
Some Republicans and MOST Democrats 'Feel' that if someone works at McDonald's and make $250 dollars a week and then buys a $750,000 dollar home, it is NOT their fault when they cannot make the payments and the taxpayers should help them out.
When someone has 8 kids, with 8 different fathers - they are responsible for their own actions and decisions but some Republicans and most Democrats 'Feel' the taxpayer should help them out.
I think any Politician that does NOT think an individual is responsible for their own decisions and actions should be removed from office.

March 15, 2009 - 09:53 ET by Blazerunemployed artist ?
Aren't most artist's self employed, and their ability to pay the light bill, put food on the table and make payment's on a crappy car is dependant on their ability to actually produce material people want to buy?
Obviously this woman is another Obamaton who feel's her abilities as an arteest, far outweigh her abilities to flip burger's.
It took Stone-Anderson four months of planning and two months of painting
heh,........that's a total of six month's of work on a cheesy rolling tribute to a socialist sycophant, rather than trying to actually crank out anything commercially viable to put money in her pocket. if I were a bettin' man, I'd say she's probably drawing public assistance also.
It was once said, I forget by whom, that a true artist suffer's over their work. The obviously talentless and entitled Miss Stone-Anderson evidently feel's like we all should suffer over her work.

Artist?
March 15, 2009 - 12:10 ET by Kat Outta the BagI'd like to see the rest of the car, because the faux sponge thing on the bumper isn't impressing me one bit. And notice that she stopped paying on the car starting in December, right after her "like mind" was elected. Hmmm...

March 15, 2009 - 13:24 ET by CobraManShe can't afford to make her car payments, but she can afford vanity license plates? And insurance, and gas, and maintenance., let alone the "left over" pant she used to create her soon-to-be-repossessed "artwork?" Yea, that makes sense. NOT!
It's obvious that she thinks that Obama, or one of his supporters, will BUY her that car. That's the only reason she stopped making payments. Oh, and she plans on selling the car so she can, get this, BUY A NEW ONE! If she can't afford to make the payments on the old car, how will she make the payments on the new one?

March 15, 2009 - 17:18 ET by River DogHmmm, what if she had spent the last 2 months painting houses for money? Might have made enough money to make the car payment and give a little to the breast cancer awarness foundation.
Ohh... silly question... why be productive and work for the things you think are importent when you can play with water colors and grab headlines? Any of her fellow artists making a "Look at me!!" headline today? Thought not.

March 15, 2009 - 19:08 ET by sam12663...under the Obama administration. She has 6 months to paint a friggin car, not making the payments all along, and she complains about the civility of conservatives. Unless I am mistaken, all of the areas she is calling for 'change', have already been at the top of peoples consciousness for years. She needs to be slapped across the back of the head and told to WAKE UP!
President Obama is nothing more than a empty suit; a Hollywood

be a total fraud.

0bamites are nuts
March 16, 2009 - 04:34 ET by kevinm13This woman should have the car repossessed and she should be made to pay for repainting.
In the 12 minute walk between the PATH and the office in NYC (I live in NJ), it is not unusual to encounter at least 2 street vendors selling 0bama junk including hats and bumper stickers. Always by some black guy who might have been homeless otherwise. I have been tempted to toss the table but I only have so many ways to get home and don't want to have to alter my commute.
