I heard today that those bus’s were flown to the starting point in a C-47.Don’t know how true itis. I also heard there were 3 bus’s each armored.
Taxpayers are paying for the tour since it isn’t REALLY a Campaign Tour.

I think it’s called the “WTF did I do to America?”.

Any idea how much these rolling luxury tanks cost?

C47? The C47 was one of the workhorses of WWII, the military version of the DC-3, last used in the late 1940's.

these monstrosities might be handled by a C5A or larger aircraft.

Now, if I saw one of these monsters coming, I'd think it was a new swat team vehicle. Totally ugly!

Rush mentioned today that they cost us the taxpayers$ 1.1 MILLION apiece. Now the SS says they will be used for their other charges over time, and I have no problem having the SS procuring equipment to do their job. But as someone pointed out, if this is “_residential business”, then why is is the bus painted with Øbama’s logo like a campaign bus (not the Presidential Seal), which HIS CAMPAIGN would have to pay for.

This is a campaign tour, nothing else. The taxpayers should not be paying for it.
