We start in 1900, going 5 mph. Over the course of the next 100-plus years no president went any faster than one could legally drive on an interstate highway. For instance, George W. Bush drove 64 mph during his term.

But President Obama has traded in the family van for a Formula 1 car, speeding from Dallas to San Diego at 174 mph. No wonder his passengers, the people of the United States, are scared out of their minds.
