We try not to follow the pack too much, but just because everyone else is gonna post this picture doesn't mean we won't.


President Barak Obama got behind the wheel of a 2011 Chevy Volt today while visiting GM's Detroit-Hamtramck plant in Michigan.


Even though he's the President, GM apparently still wouldn't let him drive without a chaperon - that's plant manager Teri Quigley riding shotgun as Obama eases the car off the production line.


Hey, his administration loaned the automaker a few hundred billion bucks so it could keep going last year - a short drive in a Volt is they least they could do for him.
