Most are irked that Mr. Obama and his strategists have borrowed a page from the tea party playbook. What’s 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 nobody’s 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 that’s just one stop on the tour.

well, a bus entourage of thousands is certain to impress the peasants with Barry’s humility and native son, down-to-earth approachability

especially when each stop features exhortations for democrat tax-and-spend snake oil to drive out the tea party hobbit terrorist extremist bomb throwers

I expect a staged incident...someone throws an egg or a rock at the bus, something to that effect. Obie’s mediawhores immediately blame the tea party, the usual hysterics follow 24/7 for weeks....

With so many people under the Obama bus I am surprised the wheels even touch the ground.
