Obama's Motorcade Closing In On 45 Cars - Is That Really Necessary?

Obama's Motorcade Closing In On 45 Cars - Is That Really Necessary?
A few weeks back, we were tipped off by a reader in Malaysia about a story that revolved around the Malaysian Prime Minister stating to the press that drivers should give way to VIPs and leaders as a sign of respect.

Then we got to thinking about our own chief and quickly found that President Obama rolls with a motorcade of up to 45 cars. That seems absolutely unnecessary to us. Sure, he is arguably the most important guy in the world but really, 45 cars?

That's like waiting for a train or parade to pass.

It's out of control.

However, the urban people elected him. They elected him even though he ran on a platform of EXPANDED GOVERNMENT and ardent statism.

Well, now he gets to expand the scope of his executive branch, and exaggerate our perception of its importance.

I find it ironic that they questioned if Dubya was scared that he had to ride around in what is basically a tank. Obama, loved by all apparently, rides around in the same tank and now this excess motorcade.

I guess he's gotta show the bling bling.

Yeah, because the last guy who shot and killed a president was a real hardcore libertarian fiscal conservative.

Hm, oh, wait, wasn't Oswald a communist?

Yeah, all of the following were Liberals of one form or another.

Lee Harvey Oswald.
FDR built the atomic bombs and Truman used them.
The KKK were Democrats.
John Wilkes Booth was a Confederate. A Democrat.

All presidents have their heavy number of motorcade, planes etc. Secret Service people, staff, more secret service. I guess this is what it has come to when people try to assassinate President Reagan or even some foreign diplomats.

Hey Car4life, name one thing the Tea Party has done thats crazy. Id say the Comu-Libs and the $7Trillion they've blown in 5 yrs will be considerably more crazy. Keep your head in the sand and your hand out...

Really, perhaps it was the Tea Party thugs hijacking of our government for 16 days after throwing their tantrum.

Or maybe its the civil war inside the GOP that cost us Billions during the shutdown.

And really, spending wise, do not make me remind you of Bush and his trillion dollar war, ohhhh and the housing crisis which led to the global recession of 2008.

Sure Obama has spent trillions which is required when running the greatest country on earth, he also saved us 3.6 trillion since being in office, cut 750,000 public service jobs to appease the republicans, and cut the deficit in half since being in office

I love how republicans love to complain about spending, yet they forget we had to spend to clean up their mess in Iraq and on Wall Street...

Thanks to the Obama Admin JP Morgan is finally being held accountable for their contribution to the mess in 08 and paying 13 billion in fines...a drop in the bucket but a start nonetheless.

I digress

Wow - you don't think the Tea Party has done anything crazy.....talk about having your head in the sand.....shutting down the government because they don't like Obamacare.....if they don't like the law, get enough people to vote your people in to office and repeal the law (not going to happen because most people think the TP people are nut jobs) don't shut down the government because you can't get your way....

If it was Dubya the media would be screaming why he has to hide from the voters. Since its Jesus rolling on 22s, its necessary. Didn't he win the nobel price for not being George Bush Jr?

Obama rides around with all of this protection. In fact when he goes to get a hamburger he has all of this protection outside.

Too bad Obama didn't make sure Ambassador Stevens and the 3 others didn't have security in Benghazi, Libya.
