They should seize them and sell them. The US should seize the most expensive home in Malibu too (belongs to the same guy). A majority of their fellow citizens live on less than $2/day. Here's his dad with a buddy. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yep!! One can also Google tyrant. 1.An absolute ruler who governs without restrictions. 2.A ruler who exercises power in a harsh, cruel manner. 3.An oppressive, harsh, arbitrary person. Just another reason NOT to re-elect him, sorry I digress but one must admit he keeps strange bedfellows?!?!? Atleast now the cars have a chance of being owned by a true enthusiast but I would reupholster the complete interior first.

I wonder how much the oil lobby's are being paid to keep the US out of there...i hope the cars go to good homes... "According to anticorruption organization Global Witness, Transparency International, Amnesty International and testimony from U.S. congressional investigations, the family has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars into its own pockets. These organizations say Exxon Mobil leads the pack, paying between 20 percent and 35 percent of its revenue from oil and natural gas to the Equatorial Guinea government a corrupt and bureaucratic tangle in which Obiang family members hold more than half the ministerial posts and control income from major economic sectors. According to congressional testimony, Little Teodoro of Malibu controls the forestry industry."
Newsflash: Presidents bump into each other at reception at an art museum in NYC, have photo taken! I guess when you did your google image search you skipped the one where he was invited to the State Dept? Does this mean GW is going to steal your supercars now? You guys are nuts.

Well since he is The President of the United States of America it is his job to maintain foreign relations. I'm sure that jackwagon isn't on The Presidents speed dial. Just like when Bush Jr was photoed holding hands with Bin Ladens father. Don't read to much into it.
Most of his country lives in extreme poverty, yet he owns all these cars and his dad bought a 320 million dollar yacht. I read a story in Foreign Policy magazine about this guy, when he goes out in Malibu, has his bodyguards park like 5 of his exotics in front of the club just to show how much money he has.
I think it has to do with this story: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/AF_EQUATORIAL_GUINEA_UN_PRIZE?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2011-09-29-14-25-35 The UN is voting in France this week to name an award after his father, something the West doesnt like for obvious reasons.
You guys didn't even get the best picture from the seizure. Yes, she is packing heat, and hotness. >8^) ER EDIT: More photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/57233603@N00/6192833923/in/photostream Image Unavailable, Please Login
Zoinks! Here's my "it's a small world" story: The dictator's son who owns these cars used to "date" a former Playmate from my home town. She made a name for herself when she was Miss Teen Louisiana and ran out on a restaurant bill, and left her purse full of pot and pills. Google Lindsey Gayle Evans.
What is that awful acrid smell eminating from that pretty blue and white car on the back of the truck?
Whew...for a second there I thought Obama's mentality had reached Paris now too.....and he was confiscating these from the Rich to give to the entitled homeless..... Its good to see these belonged to a tyrant.....Obama thinks more highly of those than- the rich.....
