Obama Car Tsar Drives a Honda

Tone deaf much?

Nope. Deese, the 31-year-old tour de force behind President Obama’s Auto Task Force, has been seen tooling around town in a car that might make board members of General Motors shudder: He drives a Honda, whose manufacturer is based in Japan.

One source describes Deese’s car as an “old, old, old silver Honda Civic two-door hatchback.”

Another tells us Deese’s two-toned Honda was never properly repainted after the new auto whiz got into an accident a few years ago. The car still has Connecticut plates, a relic of his recent days at Yale Law School.
