The Obama Effect: everything he touches, turns to dung.

“The President of the United States doesn’t have to get into a vehicle we have,” he said. “I mean, he could say, ‘I want to drive in a convertible.’ But we have to make recommendations based on our intelligence, our information and our experience. And that’s what we go with.”

Did Williams really think about that remark before he said it??

So this guy makes his living leasing buses every four years? Wow, what a job! I’d like to have that gig. Oh, and the buses that Obama bought with taxpayers money were bought from Canada. They were outfitted in the US.

[Venturer]

It kept Obama from having to lease a bus. He got the use of it for free.

He claims it wasn’t a Campaign tour.
Probably one of the biggest lies of the year.

This was just another example of wasted money,in a time when we don’t have money to waste.

“We’re not trying to hurt anybody’s business,” Donovan responded.

No, the government just blundered around, like elephants at a day-care center, and Mr. Williams just happened to get crushed.

And then it double-posted...

[Haiku Guy]

This is yet another example of where an Obama screw-up winds up enshrined as policy because these people are too arrogant to admit that they made a mistake.

"And then it double-posted..."

That's OK, your post was well worth it.

"everything he touches, turns to dung."

Because he is DUNG. . . . .

“The government went into competition with me,” Williams lamented to The Daily Caller. “Something is not right, or fair about this.”

Quick question for him, did he vote for Obama?

Obama also ‘saved or created’ a job in Canada with the purchase of those two busses.
Note, no job in AMERICA was stimulated by Obama’s actions in this.

[DeaconRed]

One term Dung. . . .

[rhubarbk]

I’m pretty sure that Donovan made that remark not John Williams.

[Truth29]

You’re right.

[Ann Archy]

He leases his busses to Rock Stars or CW people....not just campaigners.

[Ann Archy]

Sooooooo, the Republican nominee gets that Burgundy bus to ride around in??????

[caver]

So he won’t be going out of business then.

[Ann Archy]

no.

[Domalais]

This is one case where there’s nothing to complain about.

When the SS rented buses, they would rent the bus, modify it for better security, unmodify it at the end of the campaign, and then turn it back over to the rental company.

Buying the buses saves vast amounts of money over time.

Utter unfounded speculation on your part.
