The Obama bus is made by the same company that made the bus W used on HIS (forgotten) bus tour

But no mention was made by Republican National Chairman Reince Priebus or Illinois GOP Chairman Pat Brady that a re-election seeking President George W. Bush used a bus from the same manufacturer, Quebec-based Prevost, for a spring 2004 “Yes, America Can” campaign tour through the Midwest.

1. Do u think Obama had any say in what the secret service wanted to purchase as a politician vehicle.

2. No of course not

and I expect a President to ride in comfort and style.

The RW thinks they have a winner here and DU'ers seem to be following that.

3. The Palin Family also shops for vehicles at Prevost Cars.

For their "vacations."



Ever heard of "Prevost Car"? Sarah Palin has. And you aren't welcome. (pic warning)

4. As soon as I saw it, I knew it had to be Secret Service.

Those guys order everything in black. I don't have any problem with the President traveling by bus - it makes sense to have a couple available for his use as alternative transportation to me. But it is ugly. :rofl:
