The Bus From Hope And Change!

Obama's Battle Bus no symbol of hope!


In British elections we're used to what we call "battle buses", cheerfully painted wagons, festooned with party slogans and colours.

US President Barack Obama has embarked on his first bus tour in office.

But his vehicle for the trip through the rural parts of three Midwestern states looks like it really is heading for a battle.

Big, blocky, black, with painted-out windows, it looks more like a police mortuary van than a symbol of hope arriving on your street.

It is a ponderous business campaigning when you are president - all that need for protection and the weight of office on your shoulders.

Two years in, the problems you inherited are now the problems you own. Part of President Obama's message is that it is not his recession, not his fault. It's the blame game.

In a nutshell, stripped of rhetoric, this is what he is saying on the campaign trail:

President George W Bush caused America's huge debt by running up the bills for two wars on credit.

Growth is returning to the economy but America's recovery has been damaged by accidents, such as the Japanese earthquake, that no-one could have forseen or prevented.

He has plenty of ideas to bring jobs back, but Republicans in Congress who put point-scoring before their country are blocking them

Mr Obama's eyes are, of course, keenly focused on next November's election. But he's only talking about this September.

He is for now all but ignoring the potential Republican candidates and focusing his fire on their compatriots in Congress.

He says when they come back next month the American people will see what choices they make.

The president's strategy is to hold his opponents' party up to the light and cast them as the wreckers, the partisans, the obstructionists preventing American recovery.

It is a fair strategy, delivered without much verve. Mr Obama is good only when he has to be, and today felt more like a practice run than anything else.

Neither inspirational nor angry enough, he needs something fresher - and to find another mode of transport than The Battle Bus From Mordor.

L-Pink=Asshole!

LOL!

Go fuck yourself!

You don't want to know the truth because you CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

I didn't write the editorial.

A writer for the BBC did.

I only brought the editorial to the attention of the board.

Tells you what our British cousins think of the current occupant of the White House.

Two truths, Republican/Democrat President same thing different idiot, and you are a con man.


.

Considering everything.....I think Obama has done as good as McCain would have done.

Can you imagine McCain winning then getting ill and dying? Ms Palin running the country!

.

That is what a lot of voters were thinking about when they pulled the lever.

Great responses, none of which reference the matter discussed in the article.

"What about McCain?"

"What about Palin?"

"What about.......................?"

What about the CONTENT of the article?

You guys ADD or what?

I never read anything you post anymore.


.

I suspect that you cannot read but instead have posts read aloud to you by a more sentient being.

The fuck Rick Perry has to do with Obama's bus?

I hope Obama bends Perry over and drives him like a second-class Mexican bus driver on a two lane Sierra Madre highway if you get my drift.

So many people around here have the short-term memory of a fruit fly!

Allow me to digress and remind you what this thread is about:

It's about a bus, motherfuckers.

Abyss? Where is you Abyss?

Oh sit, I've been hit by abyss!

Hell, you've made it pretty clear that you CAN'T READ!

Amen. And until the voters in this country realize that nothing will ever really change. In other words, it will never change in our lifetimes.

T-Shirts, buses, billboards, cmpn slogans, you name it..

this needs to be ingrained on voters nationwide:

Republican/Democrat.. Same thing, Different idiot

(and like that will ever happen)

Looks as though clarification is in order as there is an apparently low level of comprehension on this board:

It's a secret service bus not Obama's personal campaign bus, I'm surprised it's not stealth.

Stop posting obvious facts, sally gets confused.


.

The best part is both of the busses costing tax payers 2.2 million where built in Canada, nice way to support the American Economy Barry.

What does Sally Rand do in this industry ? All shit aside, seriously, what does he do ?

NOBODY here likes you. Do you hate yourself that much that you'll spend every day at a place nobody likes you?

You should go somewhere people like you. Might take you a long time to find that place, but I promise you it's out there. Maybe you won't be such an old miserable tranny if you find that place.

That bus cost me yesterday. I had a meeting in Grand Isle Nebraska. We had 4 of us attending so we took the Cessna 340 down. We were approaching Waterloo Ia. when ATC told us we had to land immediately. Turns out because Obama was in town with that bus, all airspace over the area was closed. We sat on the runway for over 90 minutes before we could continue on our way. We were a solid 2 hours late for the meeting and ended up accomplishing next to nothing.

340C or another model?

What a coincidence, you and Barry both accomplished nothing yesterday.

340A RamVII

I heard they were built in the US.... Maybe some of the retrofits were done at one place or the other.. who knows...

What will be just fantastic about these buses is that the right will bitch about it, say they're wasting money etc. etc. etc......... until their own candidate uses the other one which is why the secret service bought 2....

I don't have any issues at all with the buses. It's a lot cheaper than tooling around every day in Airforce and Marine One.

Thats a bus?

At first glance I thought it was UPS truck!!

You wanted them to be made in the USA?
What are you smokin'?

that article reads like it was written by a tea bagger. if they paid attention for one moment, they would realize that those are new security buses operated by the secret service, and not by the president or his campaign. the official candidate for the other side will get the same treatment later. are they also a dark cloud?

fucking unreal to what level those baggers will go.

Tea Party in the UK?

Well that would be ironic considering the name of the Tea Party don't you think?

The bare shells were built by Prevost in Canada, but Hemphill Brothers Coach Company (In Tennessee, USA) buys the shells from them, customizes them, then sold them to the US Secret Service.

Exactly. Every sitting president has a right to campaign for one re-election and it is the taxpayers job to protect him -- through the secret service -- during his campaign.

The same protection will be provided to the other candidate when the time comes.

The secret service is equal opportunity no matter who is in office.

Its a non-issue.

Lmao :) :)

Ok it took me fucking 5 minutes to delete all that shit you wrote in your post on my phone. Then I overdeleted cause I got so bored trying to erase all the crap you write.

Anway, my point is that if you bothered to do any research and get your facts straight then you'd realised fruit flies actually have the best short-term memory out of all mammals.

The T-Rex is second, but unfortunately no more of them exist.

Conmen are last, as they can't seem to remember that everyone fucking hates them and don't give a fuck about what they have to say.


That is all.
