.Pull over, Sarah Palin: President Obama's bus is about to run yours off the road.
The $1.1 million (yep, you read that right) Obamamobile is, according to the Associated Press, "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." The rubber is hitting the road for the president's current trip to Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois.
Two of these superbuses were commissioned by the Secret Service to chauffeur the commander-in-chief around the country -- along with the eventual Republican presidential candidate and visiting dignitaries. While these babies don't come cheap, the protection service decided the buses, normally leased and retrofitted to provide presidential protection, would pay for themselves over their projected 10-year lifespan.
The Secret Service won't reveal specifics on the high-tech monster buses but said that they have similar features to "the Beast," a tricked-out limo and the president's regular ride. That official Cadillac comes with thick, reinforced doors and reportedly is equipped with bulletproof glass that can withstand a rocket-propelled grenade or a chemical attack.

I resent my stolen money going to the Obamination’s ultra luxury bus campign tour.
The article says that the secret service paid for the buses. WRONG. The taxpayers paid for these monstroucities.
I wonder how much Americana he plans to throw under that bus. That’s one big, bad-ass lookin’ bus.

A Congressman recently made a big stink about Sarah’s bus.
I want one that runs on grass, wheat, corn, and veggie scraps!
My favorite line of the day:
‘Rolling Blunder’
If Obama’s ultra luxury bus gets 2 miles to the gallon I will be amazed.
Notice it does not have the American flag on it, or anything that reflects the USA.
Meanwhile, compare this to the bus Sarah Palin uses:
Note how much more inviting-looking this bus looks.
He’s “man of the people,” with his jet-black, multi-million dollar, taxpayer-funded, scary-looking bus of his.
