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."

LOL!!!
I’m believing this administration would screw up a FREE LUNCH at a Sunday school picnic.
Anyone find it interesting that 0 is riding around in Israel in something called “The Beast”?
Thanks; I’m going to search some more. If you find it, please ping me.
Oh wait... you nean that isn't Nancy or Harry Reid....?? They are bigger ASSES than that Ass...(in the picture)
I’d bet the SS hates the bastard.
That made me laugh! :)
” figured a video would have to be out there somewhere.”
Streaming media is blocked here but maybe the video on this news article from Arutz Sheva 7?

This is common practice in the Middle East. On all the maps there is no place called Israel. They have all the names of the cities though. The only arab country I know of that even fly into Israel is Jordan.
Add to that scenario that the MORON in charge (especially in politics) will always surround himself with the people to whom he owes favors or who he is ‘instructed’ to place in his administration.
VOILA... the idiots leading the idiots !!!
The idea that anyone in the administration should actually QUALIFY by education or experience is completely incidental. This is what you get.
A ‘President’ whose very presence in the WH is a national joke AND who presents the worst possible image of the US, when he travels!!
This wasn’t the first time the King’s carriage had a problem...

I think FOX may be showing it again now (2:00 EST). They showed two podiums, and I think it's the same speeches.
Thank you! I’ve got the live one tuned in now.
Re; Cartoons... OMG!!!! LOL...
“But Mr Obama would not be given a discount, he said.”
Better collect cash before releasing the vehicle.
Bammy’s Boyz have quite a history of not paying their just debts.
Did you just see where Obama scratched his face with his middle finger toward the reporter (NBC I think) that asked him why Israel doesn’t like him as much as the last two presidents? Ha!
