President Barack Obama is traveling the Midwest on a new $1.1 million bus purchased by the Secret Service, an impenetrable-looking conveyance the size of a cross-country Greyhound, painted all in black, with dark tinted windows and flashing red and blue lights.
Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan emphasized that the bus wasnt purchased solely for the president and would be used for other dignitaries in the future. He said the agency has not previously had buses in its fleet and was overdue to get some since its had to protect politicians traveling by bus for decades.

If you believe that one I have a nice Bridge for sale , hardly ever used.
Black buses instead of black helicopters. Stealth Buses to haul a piece of crap around the Mid-west.
But he is not campaigning mind you.
God Lies, lies, and more lies.
Does this administration ever tell the truth?

Who does he think he is - Sarah Palin????
The left said that black vehicles cause more global warming. Omama’s buses are black.
These buses and they way they were acquired need to be made as an example of why we don’t want Democrats in charge. Same goes for Pelosi’s jet.
What dignitary is going to take a bus tour?
I know but I still have a problem with a setting president making campaign trips using our money.
He has the advantage of free media and a free stage for his propaganda.
Don’t recall last president doing that. Not even clinton.
America already knows what his accomplishments are. If he had any, he wouldn’t need to campaign every day.
Oh well, that’s life.
I wonder if it comes with a ghetto rapper DJ and a disco ball! Maybe one room has a giant bong. Nothing these thugs do surprise me anymore.
Read earlier in the day that they took over 1 hotel and booked rooms in another.
Guess we are paying for that too? How many people are with him on this (wink, wink) non political campaign bus tour?
They never had a problem with charter buses before.

Oh you are surprised? The Obama's are notorious for buying out entire hotels, mainly for Michelle's hundreds of servants. I'm sure Barry has some gang banger rappers with him that need some rooms. Maybe a room for pit bull fights.
Oh! And we get to pay for it!!!
That I don't know. I don't have the knowledge base to know what is or isn't needed.
I would think a bus going down an interstate would be a pretty soft target however.
I think the cost of Obama’s many vacations is an issue however overall. I don't have the numbers; but it seems he has spent much more than any other President.
Yeah, I read that earlier, but I still call 'bullsh*t'.....unless the nominee has it totally dismantled and swept for earbugs and tiny video cams.
I would NOT put such beyond the 'Rats.
It's more Obama stagecraft.
