No 4 wheel drive? No inflatable gas shocks?? Every high tech threat was thought of but all the low tech threats ignored I guess. Maybe he should be required to ride around in the exact same armored Humvees are troops are required to use? Then you can be assured they would be armored correctly.
It may have been that the big rear end of the first lady was to much for the cars suspension.
It must be Bush's fault...
pres. obama, please have a solid security in those places. come back home safe....we love you...
Embarrasinnnnnnng. Late night comics have some fodder.
I guess it had no problems rolling in ( via a different gate I would assume ).
I saw the video and it looks very awkward... because the front of the car looked like it just collapsed.. like something broke.. or it look like something shot up under the rare of the car and lifted the back.. it had a loud bang.. plus this is the old 2005 Bush Limo.. the new 2009 liimo is much more higher.. its on bigger wheels and its more beastly looking.. it would've cleared that exit easily....
This new tech. of exposing everything out has become a joke. Where is the "privacy"? mind you I mean here "privacy" and NOT "secrecy". This was totally the issue for those concerned and not for the entire world. Good that the bus was moved at the site quickly and nobody saw what was going on.
Michelle must have been on board.
Don't you think the Secret Service advance team would have looked at that driveway & thought, "Hmmm – this might present a problem for the Beast..."?
It's all Bush's fault. It was his old limo. This isnt the beat seen in the Obama inauguration, or the Bin Laden death observance in NYC. Learn your beasts, media people!
