Back in February we noticed that President Barack Obama’s official limousine — commonly known as “the tank” — was still missing the District’s “Taxation Without Representation” license plates. Well, it’s two months later and we now have photographic evidence that there hasn’t been any forward momentum on that front. Flickr photographer Bullneck managed to capture an image of the presidential limo yesterday bearing the totally lame non-protest D.C. tags.

Sure, in the grand scheme of things this doesn’t register high on the list of presidential priorities, but for a man who has very strongly advocated for D.C. voting rights we’d love to see a little symbolic support for the cause. (Especially, it should be added, when what little voting rights momentum we have had this year has all but stalled.)

President Bill Clinton’s limo used the ‘Taxation’ tags, which were promptly removed by President George W. Bush. The tags were introduced by then Mayor Anthony Williams in 2000; since then over 1 million have been distributed to District motorists.
