Turn back time – is there nothing that Obama can’t do? And this is “why he doesn’t get invited to weddings, guys.”

  1. Don’t hold your breath waiting for Zero to push the car out of the ditch.
    *takes a drag on slurpee*

  3. I wonder if this happened before or after he told the citizens of the Joplin, Mo. tornado that “…we are here for you.” Did he mean “here” as in Ireland, or here as in…?

  5. “How did they drive in?”
    Michelle wasn’t riding in the back the first time?

  6. How did they drive in?
    ~ChrisinMB
    When they arrived they let wide-load Michelle and Barry(with his one ton ego) out at the front doors.

  7. Built in air filtering system to thwart chemical or gas attack. Bullet proof glass. Grenade and RPG proof. Yet a speed bump in Walmart can stop the Presidential Limo. Yeah, great security.

  11. RPG proof my ass. Only active tank armor can stand against RPG, as modern RPG effectively defeat 1000 mm of conventional armour and I don’t see how they could fit it on a limo, unless it’s made of unobtainium.

  12. This was a funny story . It just undrlinesthis whole adninistration of oppulance turning into unworkablility.
    Its like an Omen of old.

  16. The Zero has lost control of his troops:
    “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has broken publicly with President Obama over his plan to restart Israel-Palestinian negotiations by demanding that Israel base a two state solution on the 1967 borders.”

    The new RPG-32 has a 2 stage warhead that pops the ERA before the second stage main warhead burns through the composite-sandwiche plate armour.

    I’m guessing the presidential limo isn’t a hybrid.

  20. Beauty example of Your Tax Dollars At Work. How many HUNDRED million dollars for security on this junket, and nobody pre-drove the rout? Are you kidding me? That’s catastrophically stupid.
    Plus, they spent that much money on a limo, but they didn’t put an active suspension system under it? Nobody would ever think of dropping a telephone pole on the road? Iron pipe? No?
    Genius!
    Its this kind of stuff more than anything else that dis-proves all conspiracy theories. The US government planned 9/11, since the 1950’s they’ve had an alien space ship at Area 51, Timmy McVeigh was a secret ATF agent, but the whole Secret Service can’t get a limo out a driveway?
    Sure.

  21. They should talk to some of the LA car clubs. Them guys know how to rig a set of pneumatic shocks…

  22. Obama must have left his Superman cape and tights at home.
    BTW, was that big grey bus the media shield?

  23. I’m wondering how the American embassy staff could have possibly overlooked the driveway hump causing problems. As Sgt Lejaune mentioned, even the other standard sized cars scraped bottom.

  25. 1000 mm of conventional armour ”
    ?
    (shakes head)
    this is how rumours start. a measly RPG ramming thru 3 feet of armour. ya right.
    anyway, about the speed bump limo, is obiwan obama being set up?

  26. As a metaphor for the Obozo presidency, for his accumen in handling the economy the image of being hung up without any traction is 100% perfect.

    and note the previous POTUS ride listed FIVE inches of ballistic armor: http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/news/industry/1269716
    Scraaaaaape thwump! What was that? Just the sound of the POTUS being brought back to earth by a low tech speed bump.
    Still, for all the after market security add ons, a simple speed bump can stop the Presidential Limo and make a mockery the so called most powerful man in the Free World?
    Now two of the United States best kept secrets have been revealed:
    1) Stealth helicopters
    2) the Presidential Limo cannot clear a simple speed bump.

  29. ChrisinMB; ANY of the construction workers who built that (the driveway) could have told them it was a faulty design. Don’t listen to the guys with dirt under their finger nails; listen to the P.Eng. and Architect…

  30. Anyone who’s been to Ireland would know that the whole country is about 30% to scale, except for the pubs.

  31. I have never read so many LOL comments (and I mean that sincerely) in any thread. I think Bruce Strang wins it, though.

  32. This is what happens when you fire the Veteran Presidential Secret Service Crew and hire your Brothers from Chicago.

  33. This car exlimplifies what happens when the U.S. Gov’t. and United Auto workers union take over your firm!

  36. Suddenly, Mr. Delingpole has been added to my RSS reader. I don’t know how that happened.

  37. Silly question, the limo’s aren’t build to bump? The one behind the pres limo could have came up and shoved it ahead…
    Chutz, the grey bus was more of a defensive shield, but also served as a ‘curtain’ to contain the embarrassment.
    I agree with two thoughts posted:
    1. why that thing doesn’t have built in jacks.
    2. nobody pre-drove the route.
    How’d they get in? Maybe the driver came at an angle and was able to get in, but you’d think he’d make note of that.
    So very symbolic. Typical big US Limo, lots of bling, but no substance.

  38. And Obama botched his toast to the Queen. He actually started to speak his toast – and continued to speak – as the band was playing: “God Save the Queen’. Eventually he realized that he was doing something wrong – and put his glass down.
    Ah well. That’s what a socialist marxist upbringing can do to one; it teaches you to ignore reality. The reality that there’s someone else besides Himself.

  41. First the presidential seal falls off the podium, now this. Someone’s sending the Obamessiah a message…

  42. Bam Bam screwed up the toast? Do you suppose his teleprompter doesn’t run the European format? Oh well its not like Barry likes Betty. (She’s British you know)

  43. after Nobama took over General Motors, they went from building Cadilacs to building Crapolacs, and that stuck on the hump piece of junk is a prime example of what he builds

  44. Look at the right front tire…it looks like something in the suspension let go. If it was high-centered, the tire would be hanging down, but it’s pushed up into the wheel well.

  45. For years the presidential limos were Lincolns. The “bailout” caddies just can’t hack it! Get a Ford!

  46. There must be a shortage of optometrists in the UK, since i heard they missed dear leader 21 times.

  47. None of this made made the CTV News with Lloyd Robertson. Not the botched toast, not the wrong date written in the guest register, not the car stuck in the middle of the road. Funny, that.

  49. look at the flags. thats not the president,s limo. the limo behind has the us flags.

    Dont know that they always provide RPG targeting instructions with signal flags, but in obozo’s case you might be right.
