297: Obama's Clutch Car
Barack Obama, Facebook Headquarters Visit and Clutch Cars
President Barack Obama visited Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto for a town hall event moderated by Mark Zuckerberg. Critics noted the media's failure to question the promotional nature of the event, which was framed as a historic first presidential visit to the social media company. During the session, Obama used the unusual term "clutch car" to describe a manual transmission vehicle while discussing economic acceleration.
