Barack Obama’s Ford Escape Hybrid

Democratic candidate Barack Obama drives a Ford Escape hybrid.  After receiving criticism for his gas-guzzling Chrysler 300C, Obama traded it in for a more fuel-friendly hybrid with enough room for his two daughters.  Obama’s monthly payment if he financed this hybrid for 48 months with a 6.5% rate and an MSRP of $33,385 would be $697 a month, which is less than what rival John McCain would pay on his Cadillac CTS.
