I know it is totally impracticle for the President to go motoring down the Hyway. But why the charade. Good grief, are we all this gullible.

The Magical Mystery Tour.

You gotta dig the bus! Now they no longer have to rent one, outfit it, then pay to have it dismantled when finished. The best part is he can pass it on.

It was also made in Canada.

You would want the President to have at least what any self respecting NASCAR Driver has.

For what they got, 1+ million ain't that bad. I saw Jeff Gordons new Prevost Conversion, it topped 2 mill.

I have a puny little Monaco Windsor. That is skid row in that Motor Coach World.

They all suck if it's not pimped out for wheelchairs, lol.

Obama's campgain didn't pay for the extravegance; the US taxpayers did (except the 51% of US households who don't pay any federal income taxes) !

The joke is on the US taxpayers (excluding the 51%).

Makes you wonder what he did for 25 years before retiring.

As for who he voted for in '08, it's a toss up between Paul and Nader. My money is on Nader, which would be the main reason why he wouldn't divulge it. The Tea Party would revoke his membership.

As I recall, everyone jumped on Palin for something similar. I thought big deal. It was her money. As far as these taxpayer owned buses, I am really surprised they don’t have something similar already for the reasons listed in the blog. Since we didn’t have them, should we have outfitted them, no I don’t think so. But it would be terribly dangerous for the POTUS to travel around on a bus that is susceptible to attack on the open road. Even so I don’t think much of Obama’s leadership skills, it would still be a gigantic waste of the POTUS time to take a slow boat vs the big plane. It would be better altogether if he would just drop the common man pretense.

His Wife has the same ailment. Remember last year when she did her "home gardenning bit" as a photo op. Some enterprising chap recognized her boots, and found out they cost about $495 bucks.

Just what all typical American women wear when they are digging in the old backyard dirt.

I'm certainly not opposed to protecting the President, but why buy the buses if he isn't going to ride on them?

Here is my source that confirms the 51% fact ! Funny how you left wingers nutters say Conservatives never have their facts right but you never provide your own correct numbers....you guys are just armchair critics...both lazy and stupd.

"But right now, the fact (is) that according to the Committee on Joint Taxation, 51 percent -- that is, a majority of American households -- paid no income tax in 2009. Zero. Zip. Nada. … Actually, to show how out of whack things have gotten, 30 percent of American households actually made money from the tax system by way of refundable tax credits -- the Earned Income Tax Credit, among others. So 51 percent of American households paid no income tax in 2009, but 30 percent actually made money under the current system."

Keep bending over and taking it up the ass from the likes of BO like a good subservient zombie ! But then, you are probably one of the 51% ers who wants more free shit from those of us who are pulling the cart.

Have you ever thought of why many people pay no federal taxes?
Could it be that the corporations in their relentless greed just don't pay the workers enough so they could afford paying taxes?
(Lol in my "Nanny State the Netherlands, where everyone pays taxes, the minimum wage at the moment it $11.76 per hour)
