Obama bus catches buzz on the Web

.Pull over, Sarah Palin: President Obama's bus is about to run yours off the road.

The $1.1 million (yep, you read that right) Obamamobile is, according to the Associated Press, "an impenetrable-looking conveyance the size of a cross-country Greyhound, painted all in black, with dark tinted windows and flashing red and blue lights." The rubber is hitting the road for the president's current trip to Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois.

Two of these superbuses were commissioned by the Secret Service to chauffeur the commander-in-chief around the country -- along with the eventual Republican presidential candidate and visiting dignitaries. While these babies don't come cheap, the protection service decided the buses, normally leased and retrofitted to provide presidential protection, would pay for themselves over their projected 10-year lifespan.

The Secret Service won't reveal specifics on the high-tech monster buses but said that they have similar features to "the Beast," a tricked-out limo and the president's regular ride. That official Cadillac comes with thick, reinforced doors and reportedly is equipped with bulletproof glass that can withstand a rocket-propelled grenade or a chemical attack.

I would love that to turn into a Hee Haw moment and have that barn door knock the Kenyan right on that skinny a$$.

If he wasn’t president, you just know he get the sh*t kicked out of him.

Obama is DOWN.

All that’s left is the COUNT.

He’ll be the subject of unmerciful derision from now on.

Crowds at bus stops will be small and the heckling will grow — which makes him furious.

People, People, we are getting too worked up over these buses and how much they cost.
After all 1.1 million in Obamabucks ain't a whole lot when compared to real old fashion American bucks.

The Secret Service couldn’t afford it anyway - not after paying all that rent to Biden.

Appropriately ominous looking. I get no good vibes looking at that thing.

You're not supposed to.

Excuse me for posting a reply without reading through all the comments, but I would absolutely love it if some prankster would put up a sign on Zero’s bus route that says “Caution: IEDs Ahead!” and maybe have a skull and cross-bones logo. Make them all either stop and get the road ‘cleared’ before proceeding or be forced to take an alternate route. Either way, it would rattle them more than they’d be willing to admit.

And for the record, I do NOT want anyone to actually place any IEDs in any road in America.

All federal funny money, juggled from one pocket to another and ultimately picked from the taxpayer’s pocket.

Like the RAT campaign planes, it probably smells far worse in that bus than it does in Sarah Palin’s bus.
