Anyone find it interesting that 0 is riding around in Israel in something called “The Beast”?

[Biggirl]

That made me laugh! :)

“But Mr Obama would not be given a discount, he said.”

Better collect cash before releasing the vehicle.

Bammy’s Boyz have quite a history of not paying their just debts.

“a driver reportedly filled it “

There’s your first problem...even Danica’s got a fuel guy!

It may be out of oil. The problem with The Beast is that the dipstick is in the back.

The Beast is down. Bring me my other wheels!

I just hear on radio news OMGGG

Fortunately for the president, the breakdown happened two hours before his plane, Air Force One, touched down on Israeli soil, sparing him the embarrassment of a possible incident after his arrival in the Holy Land.

A dead Beast is not good fortune— it's an ill omen.

Sounds like a staged event so the Mossad could plant a bug.

I think there are bigger problems with this trip afoot: Video of Obama's shape-shifting alien secret service

[Jeff Winston]

There’s a video somewhere of Obama’s limo getting stuck in the UK. Hilarious. You should look it up.

I don't have any idea in the world what happened, and while some Freepers have inside connections, nobody without those connections is likely to know anytime in the foreseeable future.

I do think that the idea of President Obama being in serious fear of his life while in Israel is plausible. He's a terrorist target and there are few places in the world where terrorists would have a better chance of successfully attacking an American president than Israel. That is even more true of an American president who is perceived as being anti-Israel, and who might attract the sort of conservative terrorists who killed a previous Israeli prime minister.

The simple fact of the matter is this problem with the presidential limousine, however it happened, was a massive security breach. Maybe it was an honest mistake. Things happen.

Or maybe it wasn't an honest mistake at all, but something much worse.

The key thing we need to remember is that whether we like him or not, he is the President of the United States, and we need to treat him as such. Vote against his policies, refuse to confirm his nominees, impeach him if we can make the case. That's all fine.

However, in America, we change our governments by elections, not by assassination, and President Obama deserves the best security we can possibly provide him for as long as he remains President. Something went seriously wrong during his visit to Israel and the reason needs to be identified and fixed.
