.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.

OMG! She bought something to wear!
Since when does the federal government (aka - the taxpayer) pay for the president to put together a reelection campaign bus tour?
This man is not a president, he is a perpetual political campaigner. That is all he is really good at. Imagine if Bush had done this?
And it's not even taxpayer money Sarah spends!
“Magical Misery Tour”
A classic seen today!
LLS
That’s not Obama’s bus.
That’s OUR bus.

LOL. I bet the undercarriage is bulletproof so Obama is safe from those that are under it.
A picture of Obama carrying his only friend.
Now is a good time to go to the Youtube video of his first (of many) Magical Misery Tour speeches and tell the world what you think...

Why won’t 0bama ride around in his Cadillac, and have his people ride around in a normal bus?
Appropriately ominous looking. I get no good vibes looking at that thing.
Meanwhile, Øbama’s catching a buzz on the bus.
Would’ve been much smarter to paint the Fuhrer Bus red, a spangly red, white, and blue rather than shiny Darth Vader black.
Looks like the DarthVadermobile to me. Barry sure doesn’t go for that old Red, White and Blue. I guess he sees it as being too “jingoistic” for somebody as cool as he is.
the good news is that every one of the network news shows - tonite - ran a story about these buses and hwo much they cost - not to many out of work Americans are going to be in a good mood when they see this follwoed by the Prez going to a $50,000 per week vacation home...for two weeks. Obama does not knwo how to get the good will of people - that is good for Freepers
“...the president’s current trip to Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois.”
Anybopdy else find it interesting that he’s making this trip but avoiding Wisconsin?
The very Wisconsin that has been rather unkind to socialists lately.
