Barack Obama's hopes of a smooth start to his first presidential trip to Israel suffered a hitch on Wednesday when his armoured limousine broke down after a driver reportedly filled it with diesel instead of petrol.
The hulking vehicle, nicknamed "the Beast" for its supposed robustness in the face of potential attacks, juddered to a halt on the motorway between Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport and Jerusalem after its engine apparently proved incapable of absorbing the alien fuel intake.
Israeli media outlets, including the flagship Channel 2 television station, reported that the car had been filled with diesel.
The sleek black limo had been flown in specially from the US for Mr Obama's visit.
Fortunately for the president, the breakdown happened two hours before his plane, Air Force One, touched down on Israeli soil, sparing him the embarrassment of a possible incident after his arrival in the Holy Land.

"They told me that this was Obama's car," he told The Daily Telegraph.
"They didn't say what had happened to it. They just said it had got stuck. Only the mechanic was there when I arrived. The driver had left in another car. The whole thing was very funny."

Baraq Ubawmaw enters Jerusalem riding on a Beast.
I wonder if Obama has gotten the message yet?
Monday, the History channel portrays Satan as Obama. Today, Satan rides The Beast into Jerusalem and breaks down.
Interesting times.
Where is it? I looked and all I could find was all the BS of the landing which made me sick as does any other time I have to see the fool.
I don’t think this bodes well for the professionalism and discipline of the secret service.
Perhaps PC hiring and training policies are finally taking their usual toll.
There’s a backup limo for him as well as a backup AF1 747 that stays close when the pResident flies overseas. Usually the spare AF1 will fly into the closest U.S. Air Base to where the actual AF1 and the pResident is located.
Of course!
Which one will be the bigger ASS? LOL
If the Beast were electric, there wouldn’t have been a gas/fuel mix up.
What are the chances kerosene was used?
Don't know. I saw it live on FOX. I figured a video would have to be out there somewhere.
Maybe it's too early and it hasn't been posted anywhere yet?
The Secret Service is being phased out. They have not hired any ss agents in over two years.., check it out.
Why isn’t the devil driving an electric car?
Add a can of corn to it. It’ll be just like in the new country.
This was what I was waiting to see... YES. When the leader of any group is a moron the actual performance of everyone in the group goes down. An apropos example: Let’s suppose the owner of a garage has no experience with vehicles and couldn’t even change the oil if he or she had to. The first job would be to hire someone who had some clue about vehicles, so that THEY could hire mechanics, parts counter people, supply people, etc. BUT, that first hire will likely be flawed because the owner can’t properly judge the competency of the prospective manager because THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT QUESTIONS TO EVEN ASK.
No. Both were standing in from of a podium. First Peres gave a speech, and then oboma.
If you see this, look at obomas face while Peres is speaking. His discomfort is more than obvious. His expressions are extremely strained. He's struggling to fake the typical oboma teethy smile. And look at his skin. He sweating. It's kinda shiny.
They needed an excuse, so that he could ride into Jerusalem on this.
