Air Force One landed midmorning at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, and Obama disembarked under sunny skies and greeted a small crowd at a rope line. He then boarded an unmarked black bus for a 40-minute drive south to Cannon Falls, Minn., for a town hall event.
Obama's first bus trip as president will take him through Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois, allowing him to counter Republican attacks...

He didn't walk there. And what's the gas mileage on his armored bus fleet?
Air Force one is his private jet. Who knew. I guess it was President Bush’s too. How strange of a statement. I believe the gas milage for his bus will the the same as it is for the Republicans.

AND NOW, HE ACTUALLY WANTS US TO RE-ELECT HIM. HA WAKE UP AMERICA 2012 IS UPON US.
Let’s be clear on this shall we?
The Boeing 747 that is designated “AF-1” when he is on board belongs to US and NOT to him.
I know that he uses it in the same manner that a private jet owner would possibly use their own plane. However remember that a privately owned aircraft is fueled and maintained by the owner and NOT on our backs.
Ubama doesn’t own anything that he is (ab)using. He is a PARASITE.
So he picks a town with one of the best unemployment figures 3% as his first stop on his Jobs tour? Gees. it seems like these people know how to create jobs on their own!
Mr. niteowl77
Is he going to make more than one stop per day?
So King Obama is going to come down off his mountain to listen to the bitter clingers.
Somehow I have to think this is more for the photo op than for the listening.
“....greeted a small crowd at a rope line...”
...carrying pitchforks and torches.”
I hear he likes pie. Maybe he will stop for some pie. See, 'cuz he likes pie. Especially sweet potato pie. Maybe the owner of the store will bring out the pie. Or maybe we will all stop hitting our heads against the "Hope and Change" wall.
Which is exactly what he did in his reading of the TOTUS at the first stop.
do taxpayers pay for Republicans??? or do Republicans use their donations?
This bus tour is a TOTAL WASTE going to areas where he is liked ONLY!! I believe this is a PRESIDENT first??? right?and with all the security he requires it is simply worthless..this guy needs to smell the flowers and wake the hell up...
Hurry up 2012
