President Obama wraps up his Midwest bus tour today in the state that launched his political career, Illinois.

Obama will hold two town halls today in his home state, stopping first in Atkinson, Ill., at the Wyffels Hybrids Production Facility and then in Alpha, Ill., at the Country Corner Farm.

Expect the president to also make more surprised stops along the road.

Tonight the president will return to Washington before heading out to Martha's Vineyard with his family tomorrow for ten days of R&R.

The hybrid stopping at a Hybrid Production facility.

Is that what they are calling his mother now? A hybrid production facility?

“Tonight the president will return to Washington before heading out to Martha’s Vineyard with his family tomorrow for ten days of R&R.”

So Palin is mocked for ending her bus tour after only 4 days... and then heading home for the start of school.

But Obama is praised for his 3 day bus tour and going on a 10 day vacation to Martha’s Vineyard. For some “R&R.”

The media is a joke.

"Unexpected" hee hee hee What a crock. If he made an unplanned uncensored stop the citizens would decimate "poor little Barry".

It is just so ironic that if EVER the word BLACK is used in reference to BOZO, they will go Ballistic.

Well that is just one big BLACK BUS, which was made in Canada, I just heard on Fox News this a.m. Guess we are not allowed to say it's a BLACK bus? It's Stealth and you don't see it.

BTW: he's going to announce his PLAN for jobs after Labor Day. ROFL Maybe he found his plan under some Joseph Smith Rock.

He took the bus tour through MN, IA and IL... all states that went for him heavily in 2008.

Take that bus to Texas, Barky... let’s see how well you play down there.

Barry's Braggin' Wagon will be in for maintenance. While the president gets in another 10 days of vacation. Wow.

The teleprompters are probably past due for some routine maintenance. They really need to turn up the intelligence on those.

My preference is that he'd NEVER "work!"

He’s actually took this bus to IL?

D***, he’s in trouble.

And he’s already done and going on vacation for more than a week? Only the most willfully blind are not seeing that this man is totally unsuited to be president.

He’s creating jobs by going on vaca! All those hotel maids and cooks need work and he and his wifey will provide jobs for them.
Not to mention the extra pilots who are on standby for their little trips on AF1 and AF2. Think of all those maintenence workers at the airports ..... lots of job creation goin’ on!

No spinners? You’d think for $1.1 million, there’d be at least a little bling.
