You sound like you think the President doesn't deserve secure transport, that it is just some kind of perk

The armored vehicle that he rides in looks like a limo to reflect the status of the office. It's also based on a diesel truck body.

unokitty You sound like you think the President doesn't deserve secure transport, that it is just some kind of perk.

I just find it ironic that he has cancelled White House Tours for school children due to lack of money while he travels with...

"Two massive C-17 cargo planes ... two Marine One helicopters, Black Hawk helicopters, the presidential limousine and a staggering amount of additional equipment.

When the president isn’t taking the helicopter during his visit, he’ll travel in an astounding convoy of about 60 vehicles which will include “armored cars, electronic warfare vehicles to counter missile threats, secret service vans, bomb disposal units and a squad of troops,” Israel Hayom reported.

Perhaps the most impressive vehicles in the convoy are two armored limousines, one of which will transport the president. Each “monster”, as Israel Hayom calls it, costs an estimated $300,000, is protected from chemical and biological attacks ...

With all of that, you’d think someone would have thought to bring proper gasoline for the presidential limo. News outlets reported Wednesday that one of the limos had mechanical problems and had to be towed. Rumor has it that someone filled it up with the wrong gas."

Never in history has a head of state travelled with such an array of resources. No king, no pharaoh, no dictator... And his highly paid staff can't even be bothered to put the right fuel in his $300,000 limo?

And to do that while he is telling the 'little people' that there is no money for school children to go on White House tours? That just strikes me as disingenuous.

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

Private industry has no connection with the US Government giving Israel billions of dollars, nor does it require a treaty/us sucking Israel's dick.

Let's try again.

What does Israel as a country give the US that's worth billions?

(hint: the correct answer is fucking nothing.)

You'd rather see the president traveling in a more traditional vehicle?

It is incredibly disrespectful what he is doing to the American people. He lives the high-life while he makes innocent people suffer. He has no right to waste all this money which belongs to the taxpayer. No president needs that much security its just a waste. obama is pathetic excuse for a human being and a disgusting piece of shit for what he is doing. And the sad part is that there are still morons and his lapdogs who will defend him no matter what he does. Bunch of idiots.

I'd rather see the President in the whitehouse doing his fucking job.

Or, perhaps, if he has so much time to travel around like this and play golf all the time, maybe he should just step down...because clearly we don't need him.

I'm trying to imagine how stupid you must sound in real life. CANNOT COMPUTE.

Exactly. We should compare total Obama vacation time versus total Bush vacation time. Not that Obama is even on vacation.

Drebo must think it's more worthwhile paying a president to clear brush.
