Barack's BFF

As Barack Obama's campaign gained momentum over the past year, the name Marty Nesbitt has surfaced more and more. Nesbitt is his national campaign treasurer, basketball bud, and close friend. He's also the founder, president, and CEO of The Parking Spot, an airport parking and shuttle service with locations at 12 airports nationwide.

Besides being known for its yellow-and-black spotted shuttles, The Parking Spot has made a name for itself with frequent pickups (every 5-7 minutes), complimentary bottles of water and copies of USA Today, and the option to pay extra for a car wash and gas fill-up while you're gone. There are no locations in the Northeast and I haven't used the service. But most of the reviews I've read have been solid. Anyone have their own review?
