WASHINGTON -- President Obama is barnstorming the heartland to boost US jobs in a taxpayer-financed luxury bus the government had custom built -- in Canada, The Post has learned.
The $1.1 million vehicle, one of two that Quebec-based Prevost sold the government, has been tricked out by the Secret Service with state-of-the-art security features and creature comforts.
It's a VIP H3-45 model, the company's top of the line, and is used by major traveling rock bands.
"That's the more luxurious model," Christine Garant of Prevost told The Post.

Obama to the Unions - I Back You, But You Must ‘Sacrifice’..... (At a town hall meeting in Decorah, Iowa, yesterday.)
For someone who has never had a real job, on a job tour in flyover country on a bus built by Canadians with jobs - what a loser.
Some resourceful Tea Party operatives may consider showing up at every bus stop with a megaphone and a recording of “O Canada!” to help greet our beloved Dear Leader in an appropriate manner.
For that matter, I imagine that “O Canada” could use some updated lyrics for any such occasions... :-)
Looks like it would be home to this guy:
Oh, believe me, their campaigns have it.
The attack on Obama is going to be ruthless.
I wish somebody would say that its a shame that our first black president didn’t understand the Constitution and didn’t understand basic economics.
Imagine if Palin’s bus was made in Canada - 24/7 news coverage.
So that he could lie to out of work US workers about his "Jobs Plan."
Which he may give us after his 300th vacation at his Martha's Vineyard Mansion.
(Like no bus you have ever seen)
Want to juxtapose with Obama’s multimillion dollar taxpayer paid for Canadian buses.
Can’t wait for Palin to sell these unecessary luxuries.
“There are certain security and communications equipment that we’ll have in there. It’s just a better situation for us
The Secret Service says the buses will be available to other protectees who travel by bus, which could include the 2012 GOP presidential nominee.
With 24/7 streaming video to DNC and MSM headquarters.
They are owned by Daimler Trucks of Portland, Oregon

which is in turn owned by Daimler of Stuttgart, Germany
Wonder how much the unions in Canada have contributed to 0baMao Pac.
