Wow. This is too awesomely awful and stupid to check.
Remember those million dollar buses that President Obama used to tour Iowa the week before last? You might, he won’t. That is because he wasn’t actually on the bus.
This is really disgusting! The so called “Bus Tour” was not a bus tour at all !
An AP reporter said that Obama might have ridden these expensive buses only one mile at each stop. Therefore, it wasn’t really a “BUS TOUR”! Obamaspent most of the “BUS TOUR” on an airplane traveling between stops. Itlooks like Obama has scammed the American people again……..with the help of the liberal media. It’s no damn telling just how much this “show” cost the American taxpayer.
OBAMA’S HYPOCRISY KNOWS NO BOUNDS !!!“Greyhound 1″…. Secret Service Buys Two New $1.1 Million Buses For Three-Day Trip…
President Barack Obama (C) walks to his bus as he arrives in Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, Minnesota, August 15, 2011, where he is to begin his three-day bus tour in the Midwest centering on ways to grow the economy.He FLYS into an airport somewhere in the midwest, hops into a brand new 1.1 Million $ bus, paid for by you and me, for a “bus tour” ‘around the midwest’, and after an hour or so, gets driven back to the airport for ANOTHER FLIGHT, lands at another airport where another 1.1 Million $ brand new black bus is waiting for him… and repeats all that until his midwest bus‘tour’ is done?? Oh yes……and THEN he leaves on a 12 day vacation to Martha’s Vineyard…….to REST UP from this campaign bus tour!
So by my estimate, Obama (Man of the people) cost American taxpayers about a $100,000 per mile of actual bus time. Nice. Media coverage of this travesty? Zilch. Nice.
You know what liars do? They lie, that is what they do. Obama just does it more expensively than most.

Why am I feeling like throwing up so often? Oh that's just the natural reaction to Obama.
August 30, 2011 at 5:31 pm
He "FLYS"?

Patrick, I disapprove of O as much as the next guy, but I really say that Pat Dollard needs to prove this.
I mean, an unnamed "AP reporter" states that Obama "might" have not been on the bus most of the time is proof that he flew from site to site? On AF-1? To small airports that may or may not have runways long enough to hold AF-1 located near little towns? Towns that publish every rumor in the weekly paper because that's all the news there is and yet not one of them issued a peep about seeing AF-1 land?
No way. This is a kooky claim made by someone with no evidence, and you're running away with it as fact.

Wait what, it's a bus, and it cost $1 mill???
August 30, 2011 at 8:20 pm
Were there multiple buses or, as I read yesterday, did they fly the bus on a transport plane from stop to stop?
Even if he DID ride in the bus instead of flying from place to place, my tax dollars helped pay for that bus and I have need of it next year for a road trip. Where do I put my name on the list to use it?
August 30, 2011 at 8:57 pm
Buses made in Canada. How are all the new jobs coming along, Mr. President? You know, American's working and manufacturing buses, IN AMERICA?
August 30, 2011 at 9:00 pm
Oh, I forgot, that should read 2 buses. Canadian made buses.

He's the President of the United States, for crying oh loud! You expect him to be riding around on a bus like Sarah Patin? I'm beginning to lose respect for this blog. The constant nagging and fault-finding is annoying me. I don't support Obama because of his pro-abortion stance, not because he's flying around on Air Force One between bus stops.

@Anonymouns:
And I lose respect when people don't go back and check their comments.
For example:
"for crying oh loud!" (should be: for crying out loud)
"Sarah Patin" (Sarah Palin)
If you're going to make broad, ad hominem attacks, then I will too.

This link from Human Events has an update which debunks this whole story. I think it's important that facts are verified, regardless of my feelings toward the Pres.

If you base your respect on a person's android automatically "correcting" words that are spelled correctly or even base your respect for a person on spelling or grammatical errors, then you truly have bigger issues.
August 31, 2011 at 12:45 am
Brett Adams, that's right. And we can spell too.
So the buses didn't cost $1 mill each after all, right? And made in the USA.
In fairness to the pro-abort Pres., in all probability these 2 sleek buses will be clocking a lot of miles in the coming months, not just circling MN, Iowa and Ill.

The real outrage is his dragon lady of a wife flying a different plane to the vineyard in the middle of nonstop bad economic news and huge national debt. Crickets from the state run media of course.

Perhaps Dear Leader, like Kaiser Wilhelm with his yachts and trains, designed the interiors himself.

How many homes do the Obama's own anyhow? More than Bush?

*He's the President of the United States, for crying oh loud! You expect him to be riding around on a bus like Sarah Patin?*
If he says he's on the bus then yes, I expect him to be on the bus. Otherwise the President of the United States is lying. Are you saying the president is a liar?
Also, the President of the United States is a glorified public servant… he work's for us!
August 31, 2011 at 5:34 pm
Well, at least in this day and age, he didn't have to go to the back of the bus! LOL! Scotju

To use the term "liar" , you are judging the conscience of another human being (loved by the same God who teaches us not to judge).
