Keep an eye on the parking lot
Updated: Thursday, January 15th, 2009 | By Bill Adair
We'll be watching the White House parking lot to see how many Priuses show up. Obama left himself some latitude for security needs (we don't think they make an armored Prius — yet), but there are still plenty of cars that could be switched. For now, we'll keep a rating of No Action, but we'll move this to In the Works as soon as we see some progress.
