President Obamas three-day bus tour of the Midwestern heartland already has earned a nickname. Its Greyhound One according to observant wags at Lucianne.com and elsewhere in the conservative blogosphere. Most are irked that Mr. Obama and his strategists have borrowed a page from the tea party playbook. Whats better than a campaign-style bus tour to impart a message of frugality and kitchen-table economics?
But wait. Though the excursion is packaged with humble appeal, it looks like nobodys sleeping on the bus. The White House has reserved the entire historic Hotel Winneshiek in Decorah, Iowa, and 60 rooms at nearby Luther College, and thats just one stop on the tour.

Who’s paying for all those hotel rooms? Wanna guess?
Bet you it’s the taxpayers.

Marine One to Air Force One, to The Beast (Limo), hotels, back to the beast, and finally on to the BUS. The most critical element? Get photographed stepping of a real BUS!
The regular folk like a BUS! They think you look hard working stepping off a BUS. Looks like you’ve been traveling all around on it; sleeping, eating and working on it. Damn, nothing’s quite as sincere as a BUS.

I admit I am confused. I know the media is reporting that the secret service “ bought” 2 new armored buses which they say they will use later for the presidential candidates during campaings
but aren’t 0dumbo’s buses different from the SS buses?
I wonder how many buses we paid for for that POS 0dumbo to pretend he is not on a campaign swing

This story offends me greatly.
Decorah. Land of those 2-horned helmet-things, block heaters, and 97 (each) Blacks or Hispanics. Great farmland, though.
1st Wal-Mart I ever saw. One of the top 2/3 oddest little college towns I know of. Here comes an Osloesque anti-gun speech, probably with Wagner playing in the background; I wonder if he'll give it in Norwegian. He's going to have to bus in minorities for the photo ops. http://www.polarnopyretusa.com/common/images/products/large/05_enlarged_888x888px/00_main_image/7310012578682.jpg
