The Deception President - Obama's Flying Campaign Buses

More sleight of hand from the Manchurian Moonbat we call President.  The buses cost taxpayers $2.2 million and were made in...Canada.

Red State

Obama has been touring all over the midwest these past few weeks, giving speeches to crowds of fans, anxious to hear what’s next on his agenda.  One could be forgiven for believing that these are less about pushing the president’s current agenda, and more about launching the reelection campaign, however this is a charge that the administration adamantly denies.

But there is a very simple reason that this is viewed as more of a campaign effort.  Boasting bulletproof windows, five inch thick doors, and it’s own oxygen supply, the President has made the rounds for these speeches in a multi-million dollar bus, dubbed “The Beast” by it’s critics.  There’s been no shortage of opinions from people and pundits on this bus and how having the President tour around the midwest in a caravan of cars and seated on a tour bus sends the message that he is on the campaign trail and using taxpayer dollars to do it.

It appears however, that this might not be the case.  According to some sources he hasn’t really been riding these buses much at all.  They say, he’s been flying them.

Apparently President Obama only rode the buses for a couple of miles at a time, spending the rest of the time flying from community to community in Air Force One.  What’s more, the buses were flown from stop to stop as well.  It’s normal practice for the President’s entire motorcade to be loaded up on cargo planes and flown from destination to destination.  The buses were just a new part of that motorcade.

But why wouldn’t the presidential limousine have sufficed? Or one of the other armored vehicles that routinely travel with the President?  Apparently because the President wanted the imagery of a bus. And buses are what he got.

Obama's uncle arrested for DUI, held by ICE as illegal immigrant

http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpps/news/obamas-uncle-arrested-for-dui-held-by-ice-as-illegal-immigrant-20110829_14770644

[snip]

President Barack Obama's uncle was stopped on suspicion of drunken driving in Massachusetts, told police he planned to arrange bail through the White House and is being held without bail by federal immigration officials, authorities said Monday.

Onyango Obama, 67, was arrested last week in Framingham, about 20 miles west of Boston, after police said he made a rolling stop through a stop sign and nearly caused a cruiser to strike his sport utility vehicle.

Pretty sad, but they all do this. Bush put thousands of miles on AF1 to campaign for people in all kinds of races.
I didnt like it then and I don't like this either.

Not that this is a surprise anymore or has anything directly to do with his Super Cool Style Campaign.

"Just the facts mame"

A delicate issue to say the very least. I don't know if it's good to run with fact and theories abot our President. I humbly say that demonize him at all. For all I know, he could be from another planet. LOL. But the people voted for him with the right intentions. If would have been prooven to be so would anyone care what he is or where he's from? I wouldn't care other than the obvious amazment.

Check out all the posts on TDB here. I do and use it for information that point out the direction he took. It's a contradiction to what he said during his campaign to the House.

That's why I engoy TDB. DB is trying to point out all the infractions during his time in office vs what he said to us all on the way there. I'm not saying the Obama is the anti-Christ and all that. I just think he was not the guy I hoped for. Not to insult anyone with perhaps your feelings about the man. For all I know there spot on.

I'm just saying were better than that and The DB is a great source. Good Lord I feel like I'm preaching to people perhaps and most likley are a heck of a lot smarter than I am. Please forgive me for that. That said though, I truly feel were better than that.

Why am I going out on a limb to say this? It's because I believe it fules the Obama suportters to say, look at theses fools. That's what they want. I'll bet that's what there saying. I subcribe to the President's site. They do the same thing and my pea brain say's "Ha ha ha ha ha! Look at these fools". Among other feelings. I just think a Gistalt (spelling? Sorry) read and burn just won't solve it. I'm here to learn what's up and how to deal. Just me on that thought.

TEX, just a note to express my amazment of your battle. For it's humble worth I think your one strong person who suffered what sounds like one horrible experience.

Thanks and wishing everyone empowerment. Have a grat one.

"spending the rest of the time flying from community to community in Air Force One"

I love how the wingbots gobble this stuff up. Gotta love em. Wingbots put food on the table for a lot of enterprising bloggers.

So about the trip. 3 days, 14 towns, 500 miles. Thats an average of 36 miles between towns. Of all the towns the only town that has a commercial airport is the last one, Peoria. For just about every town on the list, the nearest airport is a longer drive then just driving on to the next town. On top of that,that same airport is also the nearest airport for the next town as well so once you get to the airport there's no place to fly to. You just turn around and drive to the town you were going to anyway.

Only a true wingbot would believe that he flew between the towns. But of course thats what the bloggers count on.

IF the story isn't true, show me...i'll gladly take it down. If you know anything about this site, you are aware that I despise the GOP as much as I do DEMs...this is a site where both get skewered on a regular basis.

The Secret Service bought two buses from the Hemphill Brothers for a total of $2,191,960. The Service say that the bus is similar to the limousine the he usually uses. This means that the bus also have a tank-like armor; 8-inch thick armor-plated sides, special bulletproof glass, and Kevlar-reinforced tires; and cutting edge technology.

Bernie Sanders: I Would Rather Have No Deal Than A Bad Deal 11/20/2011.

This is exactly the reason Ron Paul intrduced "Legislative Malpractice".  In the video below 11/09/2011 to save time at the 5:50 mark he speaks of this and it's purpose.

Ron Paul Austin Texas 2-23-08.  Another short video backing his intent.

Run time just over 1 minute.

End Game? What other canidate would shoot for this.?  Only one who is consistant.  Simple math and perhaps our last chance in voting for Ron Paul. 

Cheers!

I guess time has now told the answer, wonder if all things still seem the same in hindsight?
