NOT AN AMERICAN FLAG IN SIGHT


Monday, August 15, 2011
One would think that the bus the President of the United States would campaign from would have ....one American flag. Not one. Obama's campaign bus looks like a monster hearse. Considering where his approval ratings are, thats not altogether inappropriate.
And what's with the bus tour, anyway? As if the American people haven't been subjected long enough to the relentless inane drone of that maroon.
The only shot the great bloviator has for re-electon is to shut his mouth for a year.
(Yahoo) 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.
