Presidents Limo Breaks Down Again

[unokitty]

Obama’s limo has ‘gas malfunction’ in Israel

Its okay though, they sent a chopper to Jordan to pick up a spare limo.

I guess its a good thing that he cancelled the White House tours after all... Wouldn't want the president to have to sacrifice.

The problem, according to Israeli news reports, was that the car had been filled with diesel instead of regular gasoline.

:biggrin:

I'd read a thread about Obama having a food taster. Looks like his limo needs a fuel taster.

 

[Jaskalas]

Limo taster, where art thou?!

Something eventful occurred during a non event.

It's a slow news day?

If we're lucky maybe he'll be stuck there for a while.

this says it's got a diesel engine:

Maybe they pumped gas into it then.

Didn't Bush bomb those guys so we'd never have fuel problems again?

The only thing I read was "Obama's seat has an executive package."

That would be good news since we dont need him here. They aren't exactly fans of his over there as well.

Yet another example of the pitfalls of sequestration.

Hey, when you slash government funding by like 97% or something, that's what happens.

The nightvision camera is interesting. They can turn off the headlights and drive by the nightvision camera, completely dark.

Clever.

Uhauls that weight ~15,000lbs run on gasoline. I have no idea if it uses diesel or gas. I think Diesel is the better choice for such a heavy car. Better MPG by volume and less ignitable.

You can tell just by looking at it on TV that the tires are not normal tires.

It has its own oxygen supply it can probably survive underwater. Thats pretty awesome.

I guess it's diesel due to better powertrain options. How DAMN HEAVY is that freaking thing?

Anyway there is no way that the car has the president's blood stored. The stuff doesn't last that long. More accurately it should say (I think) compatible blood stored. I cannot imagine the president regularly donates blood just to keep some fresh stuff on tap and medically that's pointless anyway.

Why the fuck is the president even in Israel?

Seriously, a two-day trip to Israel probably costs the American tax payers a good $5 million.

Cause they are a middle-east satellite for the USA?

We give them money, they are allies. Considering the Iran/Egypt/Syria hostilities/unstabilities, probably talking to Israeli leaders about those issues in person. Which is invaluable compared to a phone chat.

I bet it's more than that, but google could settle it

Tell me, what does Israel do for us?

Are they a crucial ally that provides us a valuable service? Do they lend us troops when we need them? Do they share technology with us? Do they contribute to war funds?

I have trouble seeing exactly why Israel is an ally of ours. We give them $2 billion per year (if not more) and they clearly aren't a "stabilizing force" in the Middle East...so what, exactly, warrants us spending millions of dollars to send the President there? We have problems enough at home.

It's good he cancelled tours of his house because his limo was filled with diesel. What?

I have similar news to share. I stopped wearing bras because Windows 95 won't install on my toaster. I don't like sacrifice either.

That's less then the cost of half a hour of the afgan war.

Sounds like a nice expense to me.

There's a good chance the computer you are using has a chip in it that was designed in Israel?

Our government isn't supposed to pick a national religion but here are some interesting things relating to Israel.http://www.jhm.org/Home/About/WhySupportIsrael

It was likely someone who was new who made an honest mistake. The folks that do that job specifically are not in the administration people cmon.

Similarly like the POTUS seal falling off the podium.

I'll admit though we had a good laugh at work, and as the President said with the seal someone is probably sweating bullets right now and will get transferred to another section at his workplace.
