Presidential Limo Not As Unstoppable as Previously Reported

By Doug Powers  •  May 23, 2011 01:29 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

Barack Obama’s presidential limo was designed to be virtually unstoppable:

The vehicle, referred to by the Secret Service as “the beast,” will reportedly feature heavy armor that is at least 5 inches thick and comes complete with run-flat tires, bulletproof glass and a completely sealed interior to ward off a chemical attack, among many other high-tech security features.

Pretty impressive — but there is one vulnerability that engineers of future presidential limos might want to address: Nothing can stop The Beast… except curbs.

Today in Ireland, Obama’s limo did its best impression of the US economy trying to drive over the stimulus:

The “Moe hits Curly in the head with a ball peen hammer” wacky sound-effect is certainly a bonus.

The delay turned out to be a welcome one, because FLOTUS needed some extra time to fix her hair.

Update: President Obama is leaving Ireland early because of volcanic ash — that is, if Air Force One can make it over that curb to the runway at Dublin airport.

    What does any of this have to do with obama?? Nothing. It is his fat-a$$ wife who made that car too heavy. Too “bottom-heavy” if you know what I mean.

    Not even Hillary Clinton made the Presidential Limo get stuck like that.

    Even if she wasn’t in the car, like the libtard media is saying, her previous occupancy no doubt strained the metal re-inforcing rods and caused them to hit the speed bump.

    And CBS is now reporting that due to Obama’s omnipotent brain power he was able to forsee the car getting stuck; therefore he arranged for MO and himself other means of transportation….

    Once, I was in a SUV w/my Dad driving, mrcakes & I in the backseat. My Mom had gotten out to quickly go into a store. A car pulled up next to the passenger side where my husband sat. The woman in the car exited, hiking her skirt up on the way out. Mrcakes exclaimed ‘oh my’–my Dad said ‘Did she show it to you?’. ‘Yes’.

    How did dear old Dad know that’s how it went down? I guess you don’t get to be that age being a dummy…LOL

    Come on, everyone knows that since the Bin Laden raid only Obama knows how to do anything at all. He didn’t have the time to draw up plans for a hydraulic lift system that would take into account the difference in weight ratio’s of the possible passengers….that would have taken too much time out of his golf game.

    The only people that went to Iraq & Afghanistan were the people that -wanted- to be there! No draft to dodge, no 4-F waiver/basket weaving degree needed.

    Shuck: To get rid of, ditch, throw away. To try to shed your true image in favor of a false one.
    Jive: Trying to adopt a new social status, pretending to be “all that” + a bag of pentium chips.

    If you’re trying to relate it to a slavery slur, it won’t work with obama. He isn’t/wasn’t ‘down for the struggle’ as weird Al Sharpton mentioned in a parody by white comedian Paul Shanklin. No slave blood don’t ya know….

    A simple ground clearance issue. Reminds me of jumping my friend’s dad’s ’68 Chrystler Imperial over the railroad grade on Skeet Hill. He got off course a bit and the differential caught on a railroad tie. Pretty spectacular. Thank God no one was hurt…and it wasn’t MY dad’s car – which made the jump sucessfully.

    I’m pretty sure if it had been your dad’s car, you’d STILL have a problem sitting down for a length of time… :lol:

    AND, it turns out neither of the Obama’s were in the vehicle per CBS.

    Given it was reported on CeeBS, I’m not surprised it is pure BS, and that you pass it on as fact.

    This Irish web site had the story and video long before the rest of the Lame Media reported on it. They clearly reported that both exited the car after a time and took different transportation.

    I guess Kool-aid slurping fools will do anything to prop up Duh Won!

    Foxnews reported it was a ‘spare’ limo and the Obama’s weren’t in it.

    And the link you provided did not show the Obama’s or indicate they were in it.

    Why is everything such a conspiracy around here. Goodness.

    Why do you always have to be so naive?

    The link I provided had text in the earlier story, as linked by Drudge. In the text, they clearly stated Urkel and Moomoo left their low rider for other transportation.

    I don’t know why the text is no longer there.

    I also don’t know why it took so long for any other media to report on it.

    Further, I don’t know what Foxnews or any other media organization used as their source. Perhaps they were using the Irish web site. Perhaps they talked to the WH? Who knows? Certainly not you.

    In the end, whoever was driving the limo was an idiot given the first car through the gate, what looked like a normal sedan, also bottomed out…just not as bad.

    Urkel must have been urging the driver the go anyway. Maybe he had a tee time.

    I also noted from your link that the earliest comment is from 10 hours ago, putting it about 2pm. The link on Drudge was easily on there by 12pm, if not earlier.

    2pm is about the time other media decided to not look so stupid and report on it.

    And you are just as crazy as they come. Find me ONE non-crazy-person article that indicated he was in the car.

    The link on Drudge to another site’s news was there by 12pm ET or PT? And any proof, or just a great memory?

    Barack Obama and his wife, en route to his ancestral home in County Offaly, had to abandon the car after the collision in front of waving crowds in Dublin.

    If any homie in South Central can put a kit on his car to raise and lower it by pushing a button on the dash, you would think the Secret Service “Q branch” could equip the Presidential limo the same way.

    Saw an old, totally rusty VW bus with hippie grafitti and beads in the windows enroute from FL to CA. We were stopped side by side at a light. I looked at him and gave a thumbs up. He grinned and the VW started going up and down. Hilarious!!!!

    Still does not say they were in that car. They apparently were in that motorcade, but not that car.
