    Buying the shell out of country is to much for me, if it couldn't be 100% Amercian then he should have resorted to other means of transportation or none at all or kept the old jalopy he had that had the 22's on it...saved some tax payer money in the mean time.

    Re: The Bus campaign tour

    Note: I was being facetious when I mentioned cash for clunkers.......took a lot of decent vehicles off the road and lowered the carbon footprint by one trillionth of a percent.

    A lot of people strapped for cash would have loved to buy some of those perfectly running vehicles at discounted prices.

    Mom traded in a 1998 Ranger that got over 20mpg. Perfectly fine vehicle. Now it's a lunchbox.

    But it did stimulate some new car sales - mostly to those that shouldn't have been buying something new in the first place.

    I suggest you discuss that with the secret service and let them know where they could have bought an American made shell as they were the ones who bought the buses (yes, two buses, one was for the republican candidate). Apparently they did not feel any American Co had what they needed.

    Nobama knew what the campaign trail required....he's already lived it once. All he had to do was let it be known that he wanted to show the american people that he knows the debt is out of control so he's going to stop spending right here and right now by using the same campaign trail bus(es) that he used in 2008.

    Let's see...My company is losing money everyday, it's spending more than it's taking in. People who work for me have lost their jobs. Not very many people approve of me, not as many people like me anymore....Hmmmm, maybe I should go out and buy a new bus and pretend everything is ok. And Andrew, for the record...this same train of thought (in my opinion) applies to each and every idiot who's running or is about to run for POTUS. It just strikes a nerve a little harder when it comes to Nobama because he just so happens to be driving the bus so to speak.

    once again obama did not choose the bus--this particular bus was selected because it fit the specifications needed to outfit the bus for security reasons--not just any ole bus could handle the special armour used to protect the president and the office of the presidency--the bus actually saved money--it would have cost more to use air force one and marine one to move him around

    just another example of misguided anger

    kudos to the secret service for saving the taxpayers some money and doing what they needed to do to protect obama and the upcoming republican nominee
