Short article, but it appears "The Beast" has a soft underbelly....

Well, great job. Now everyone knows that it is easy to immobilize Car Force One.

Don’t blame me...I guess there is even video!!!!

[Lazamataz]

I blame you.

Now Al-Qaeda knows how to stop Car Force One, and it is simple. Just put a small metal obstacle in the road.

Not that I want Al-Qaeda to act on this knowledge.

Y'see.

Hmmm... a world leader riding the Beast... why does that sound so familiar?

[Red_Devil 232]

Well It grounded out pretty hard. Looked strange. Someone in the crowd says, “nice bit of driving”. LOL

A harlot rides the beast.

Tell Michele she has to get out and walk!

Well, that was a great performance. For a moment there, the beast was vulnerable to a directed blast from underneath.

And the crowd was laughing and jeering at him. Now his psychosis will be flowering like in a hothouse and he’ll be looking to do some damage.

Wow Deja Voo!
I was driving a beast (rental Fiat Panda) in Ballsbridge and pulled off the entire plastic front end backing away from a b&b because it got stuck on a curb stone.

Amazing how long it took the security forces to get a vehicle in FRONT of the Beast after it was obvious it was not going anywhere.

That was an unacceptable lapse of security—for any POTUS.

My van’s always hitting the *top* of stupid parking garages.

After unloading Mooseshell, it drove off the obstacle easily.

Thanks; interesting how the other cars rearrange in front of Obama. This moment was a challenge for security and all a bit nervous at this 'sticky' few minutes - and certainly not wanting this on camera as well; and Obama no doubt, not happy, given his keen sense of bad moments.

Reminds me of when he stepped in front of crowd; and the Presidential Seal fell off his podium. Or those glitches, as when the rat ran; and the flies landed. . .

Funny, how these moments speak in 'metaphor'. The 'Telegraph' should have a great write on this one. But 'our' Lamestream Media will probably be forewarned, to just 'skip it'.

[dangus]

Yeah. Exactly.

Tell Michele she has to get out and walk!

After she gets out, they should hitch her up and let her pull it off the obstruction

And the crowd was laughing and jeering at him.

Frightful breach of etiquette. How soon before a "kinetic intervention" there in the Emerald Isle?

If obama stopped throwing so many people under the bus, it might have a bit more clearance.
