--President Obama has Tour Buses Flown to Stump Speeches-
Red State ^

Posted on 08/30/2012 7:20:24 PM PDT by djone

"...he hasn’t really been riding these buses much at all They say, he’s been flying them...Apparently President Obama only rode the buses for a couple of miles at a time, spending the rest of the time flying from community to community in Air Force One. Whats more, the buses were flown from stop to stop as well... But why wouldn't the presidential limousine have sufficed Or one of the other armored vehicles that routinely travel with the President? Apparently because the President wanted the imagery of a bus. And buses are what he got...So good news America! If these reports are true, then not only do you get the pleasure of having a $1.1 million dollar bus carting the President around to “enlist” voters to fight for his reelection, but you get to marvel at the hypocrisy of an administration hell bent on destroying industries with carbon footprints too large for comfort, while they themselves are flying entire caravans of SUVs and buses in giant 747s flanked by fighter jets."

"flying entire caravans of SUVs and buses in giant 747s flanked by fighter jets."

The vehicles are probably flying by C-5 or C-17. The bus definitely won't fit in a 747. (except this one)

"Constructed by drastic modifications to an existing Boeing 747-400, it is used exclusively for transporting 787 aircraft parts to Boeing's assembly plants from suppliers around the world."

Yes, but the bus is clearly a campaign vehicle. Air Force One is not.

We are paying for most of it.

I don’t think he is going to need those busses or get to use that airplane much longer.

So the campaign is paying for 100% of the costs to transport the buses, right? RIGHT???

I would love to see the Romney administration sic the IRS on the Zerobama campaign and audit them blind.

From all the pictures I have seen, he is definitely saving a bundle by not displaying the American Flag.

The Poseur is definitely a POS and if the Flag thing is correct, a disgrace = WELL, I take that back, he is a disgrace either way.

Buses. There simply isn't enough room under a single bus.
