why is the govt paying for this? each campaign should

[smokingfrog]

They purchased these buses with taxpayer’s for a 3 day trip?

What idiots!

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

This is the kind of armored bus Clint Eastwood’s character could have used in “The Gauntlet.”

[Venturer]

By damn I bet those things cost a Million bucks apiece, and God only knows how much fuel they will burn.

Nothing is too good for our boy Obama.

I bet Sarahs bus isn’t armored.Although I would say the paint job cost ten thousand dollars.Only we didn’t have to pay for it.

[ColdOne]

What a waste of money just to stroke his ego! What will this tour accomplish for him? Photo-ops?

[red-dawg]

Obama’s new buses will get great fuel mileage and will not need wheels. He’s thrown so many people under there they can carry it around the country.

[Venturer]

Name Obama’s bus the “Chicken Bone Express.”

[Winstons Julia]

Well... someone probably authorized this.

It says the Republican will use the other bus.

[hosepipe]

Thank God for those busses..

Can you imagine the pain living thru a full year of MLK’ing Obama in the main stream media if he got hisself assassinated?..

It would be excruciating.. extremely painful.. on every single channel YES even FOX...

I have been worried that the democrats would off him themselves.. for just that purpose..
Thank god for little blessings.. those buses are cheaP...

[TexasFreeper2009]

ok ok... let not get silly here, it’s not like they are going to send these to the scrap yard next week. A president (any president) needs to be secure, and I am sure Rick Perry will appreciate these fine buses when he becomes president.

for use by President Barack Obama and Republican candidates in the 2012 presidential campaign and beyond

Another article I read said that the Secret Service deemed the charter buses they've seen as unsuitable for the security concerns regarding their charges. So, they're buying these buses for use across the board in their protective duties. Less of a big deal than the headline indicates.

The wheels on the bus go round and round
Round and round, round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All around the town.

The President on the bus goes “Give me more tax!
Give me more tax! Give me more tax!”
The President on the bus goes “Give me more tax!”
All around the town.

Anyone know where the USSS got the money for the buses? Especially since the ‘Rats haven’t approved a budget in over 800 days.

[RWGinger]

0dumbo very cleverly says these buses were purchased by the Secret service
and will be used later during campaing for both Dems and Republican candidates
meanwhile we cna believe 0dumbo when he says this is NOT a campaign swing. I wonder if I can interes 0dumbo is sme oceanfront property in Az

Its all about me bus tour

[liberalh8ter]

With all the talk of reform, there needs to be some serious reform in Presidential election campaigns. Campaign finance has gotten as gray as Obama’s head when he's trying to make us think he's worried about something.
