The battle to build the next “Beast” has begun.
The Department of Homeland Security has opened bidding for the contract to design and engineer the next presidential limousine. Applications to be considered for the project were due this week, and a winner will be chosen by Sept. 29, but due to the sensitive nature of the vehicle, it’s likely we won’t know anything more about it until the new car enters service, possibly as early as 2015.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Secret Service confirmed that the department is looking into purchasing the next generation limo, but couldn’t offer further comment.

The more he pisses off Americans, the more protection he needs. He has a choice; Get back to defending the Constitution or change his limo. He’s changing his limo.
To: Sopater
He wouldn’t need to ride around in a tank if he weren’t such a detestible low-life son of a bitch.

I’ve got BLM mule, named sassy. They will get a’long just just fine, maybe, probably. Sassy don’t swim that good, so Haw-wi-hee may not be in the future. That’s okay. Staying close to the White house, would be good for President Obama. Since, the US State Dept., probably has a few situations, ready for non-golf kourz, shovel ready solutions. Maybe...
To: Sopater
Interesting that the article never mentions why "The Beast" is being retired.

A Prius? I think a Chevy Volt would be more Obama’s style. And there are plenty waiting to be purchased.
To: Sopater
I’d like to see a poll for the yearly amount the American people would be willing to spend for his security
then compare that to the actual amount spent... noting the shock of those polled and using that as a second polling result

Bout time for a new AF-1 too. You know the current one and its backup are worn out.
