Obama's Battle Bus No Symbol of Hope ["mortuary van"]
BBC via Drudge ^ | 08-16-12 | Mark Mardell

Posted on 08/16/2011 7:51:02 AM PDT by thouworm

Big, blocky, black, with painted-out windows, it looks more like a police mortuary van than a symbol of hope arriving on your street....

Part of Obama's message is that it is not his recession, not his fault. It's the blame game.

Seeing that bus just makes me realize how bad it really is. We used to have the Black Helicopter conspiracy. Obummer has dumbed it down to the Black Bus?

The last line of the article calls it the “battle bus from Mordor”.

THE GRIM REAPER

Your comment reminds me of the brilliantly funny TV serial "Dead Like Me".

Perhaps a new slogan for our "Grim Reaper"???

I liked the bus better before they repainted it.

There is more armor on that bus than on a A1 Abrams tank!

lol!

The men in black swooping down (not in their black helicopters), but in their black busses.

“Hey Fred, did you see that black bus driving through the neighborhood yesterday? I’ll tell you there’s some government conspiricy going on.”

The black helicopter has been downgraded to a black bus.

“The TOTUS doesn’t think, he just reads the words given him.
He has nothing new to say, no ideas of his own, no real emotions.
He’s a recording.

He is still the blank slate he was four years ago,
but no longer are people projecting their hopes and dreams on him.
He’s just blank.

He’s just an infomercial for a product no one wants,
a public service message in the middle of the night,
a propaganda poster in Pyongyang that the citizens don’t even see anymore.
He has no market value.

A blank tour bus with blacked out windows,
or the presidential plane with all the trappings,
or his girl bike,
or his mom jeans.
It doesn’t matter what he’s dressed up as or how he goes.
He’s luggage”

PRICELESS!!!!!

Actually, I think the plain black bus (the reality) is more scary than any of the photoshop verisions I’ve seen with graphics added to the side.
