Obama's Sleek Black Tour Bus Cost $1.1 Million

[WillowTree]

He ain't worried about balancing no damn budget. Not at

As President Obama cruises through the Midwest the next three days, he'll be riding in two buses -- sleek and black, with dark-tinted windows -- that cost $1.1 million, the Associated Press reports. A Secret Service spokesman explained that the agency has to protect politicians riding in buses all the time anyway, and it plans on using the buses for future candidates and officials.

The White House says Obama will spend the roadtrip listening to voters vent their frustration with Washington and talk about their economic struggles. The full length of the bus:

Or is it only wrong when Obama campaigns?

Did we the taxpayer buy their busses?

You are a liar, every word you utter is in defense of obama and I don't give a damn what it is.

I've criticized President Obama many times in the past. However, all you're doing is bitching about President Obama in this thread. You don't actually care about cutting the deficit or debt. Furthermore, all you're doing when it comes to bringing up the vets is assuming. I'm still waiting for you to prove your previous claim.

It is hard to prove something that is not true so hopefully you are not holding your breath while you are waiting.

if you google Vets to lose benefits, this is what comes up

Republican Paul Ryan and the House of Representativs are looking to end VA healthcare for over 1.3 million veterans who are Priority 7 & 8.
These veterans are the least disabled, using the system. This means veterans with conditions not recognized by the VA, like certain diseases from Agent Orange exposure, would have to pay for healthcare out of pocket.

how do you KNOW what I care about LIAR?

Because you've shown it time and time again on this board. You're making a thread bitching about a $1.1 million bus but ignore the $360 million that was just recently announced to be lost in Afghanistan over the last decade.

Your priorities are messed up.

two 1.1 million dollar busses fuckweed,, in addition to Air Force one and a whole fucking fleet of cadillac escalades.. got it now asswipe?

President Obama is the first President to use Air Force One or Cadilliac escalades? News to me.

You didn't bitch when President Bush took the most vacations of any President, ever. Even surpassing Reagan. However, you're going to bitch that President Obama has two $1.1 million buses available to use and Air Force One.

Like I said, your priorities are messed up.

Meanwhile, a couple more billion will go to criminals and insurgents in Afghanistan.

They spent a million dollars REFURBISHING Kennedy's limousine which was used for three more Presidents. and this was in 1963-64

I'll set my own damn priorities you obama ass kisser. He had what all the other Presidents had but that wasn't good enough he had to have two 1.2 million dollar busses so he could take three trips to run his mouth about jobs jobs jobs,, shit he could have stayed in the wh and called his television station and broadcast for nothing or he could have used on of the cadillac escalades he's ordered up special for hymn.

Gosh, another ODS thread. How shocking. Let's bitch about Presidential vacations while we're here, shall we?

I have to wonder with inflation how much $1 million in 1963-1964 would be today. According to this site: The Inflation Calculator

What cost $1000000 in 1963 would cost $7043090.90 in 2010.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2010 and 1963,
they would cost you $1000000 and $142544.32 respectively.

I don't see how any true-blooded American would complain about our President having the best, including safety. Not unless their intent is to be partisan that is.

I guess you missed what the secret service said about this being used in the future as well. It's not just for three trips. If President Obama ended up taking Air Force One, you would been on here making a thread bitching about the cost and talking about how he should be flying coach.

Google is your friend. If you used it you would know the answer to that is a resounding YES. We the taxpayers paid for both of them.

Or...if their intention is to tie the Secret Service's hands so this president doesn't quite get the high level of protection as those of the past.

No. She's just pissed about the money..... and shouldn't be.

Why shouldn't I be? He didn't NEED those busses. We've already assured that he travels first class every fucking where he goes. Don't be stupid.

How much money are you willing to shell out for that wager?

Put your money where your mouth is RWer.
