Surprise!
(NY Post) President Obama is barnstorming the heartland to boost US jobs in a taxpayer-financed luxury bus the government had custom built — in Canada, The Post has learned.
The $1.1 million vehicle, one of two that Quebec-based Prevost sold the government, has been tricked out by the Secret Service with state-of-the-art security features and creature comforts.
It’s a VIP H3-45 model, the company’s top of the line, and is used by major traveling rock bands.
“That’s the more luxurious model,” Christine Garant of Prevost told The Post.
Of course it is. The One has to have the best of the best for his three day trip. And then it’ll be mothballed.
Now, we can’t blame it all on Obama. The Secret Service ordered them in July 2010…….were there plans for Obama’s little campaigning adventure in the works last summer? They couldn’t find an American company to buy them from?
Here’s a little bit of video of his campaign, I mean tour. Notice how the motorcade is bigger than the audience at his parade.

It’s kinda like some old band touring: no album release in 10 years, their last big hit was 20 years ago, and now they’re playing at the Dew Drop Inn.
