Maybe next time he'll ride his unicorn.

OMG!!!!!!

[mware]

The car got caught up on the speed bump as it exited a gate.

One guy in the crowd says, “Nice bit of drivin’!”...

Cue the theme “Lowrider”.

[Salvation]

I just saw an AP headline “Obama connects with Irish roots.”

Instantly, I thought, Oh, his Irish roots — Mr. Potato Head. LOL!

This proves it!

Somewhere a queen is laughing while she gazes at the bust of Winston Churchill wearing earbuds from an Ipod full of silly little words from a silly little man.

Now hitting the wires:

Obama’s “Beast” comes a cropper in Dublin

May 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. Presidential Cadillac, nicknamed “The Beast” for its bomb-proof features, failed to make it out of the U.S. Embassy in Dublin on Monday when it became stuck on a ramp.

Barack Obama and his wife, en route to his ancestral home in County Offaly, had to abandon the car after the collision in front of waving crowds in Dublin. here

Nice to hear the rent a crowd laughing at the won.

[Mouton]

Did they ask him for his British Passport??

County “Offaly”?

Offal?

seriously?

County “Offaly”?

Offal?

I hope he never gets out of that parking lot.

Mobacca’s weight clearly played a role in this.

[fightinJAG]

I have to say my first thought was “wow, that had to be a little hair-raising for the secret service.”

Anyway, I’m glad it turned out to be something we can goof on now, not something serious.

Ah, the sound of foreign countries laughing at our pathetic president.

[rpierce]

Ok, so I admit I laughed a little. Especially when the guy in the crowd yells 'Nice bit 'o drivin!'

On a more serious note, notice how easy it was to immobilize the President's car? I hope they have considered that scenario before and just didn't want to employ the escape solution due to the location, situation and crowd.

Funny youtube comment:

Heckle Proof, Fanny Proof, Bullet Proof, Rocket Proof, Tomahawk Missile Proof, Atomic Explosion Proof and it is immobilised by shitty Irish roads..PRICELESS

Like another FReeper pointed out, it appears the SS appeared to be slow to react.

Hopefully this is a “teachable” moment for them.

[N. Theknow]

If Wookie gets out, the car clears the bump!

Wonder why Michelle's weight wasn't offset by Barry's light loafers?

[mware]

Actually as another freeper mentioned.

This really is not good. It took over a minute for the Secret Service to put two vehicles in front of the car he was riding in. That will be going into the intelligence bank for the terrorist.
