Well it looks like it is one of the few times they have looked at cost, hopefully it saves money as projected.

if he was going to pray, would they have to make sure the bus was traveling towards Mecca 6 times a day!?!? :eek:

In my best "Foghorn Leghorn" voice, "That's a joke, I say, that's a joke, son. ..." :D:rolleyes:

Hemphill brothers coach company web page says they are out of tenn.From what I am reading is that hemphill is a dealer.It seems that the coach is a prevost their manufacturing facilities and corporateheadquarters are in sainte claire,Quebec canada here is another link



Prevost – Passenger coaches and bus shells manufacturer

They bought two of these coachs.As I said in another thread instead of using over a million dollars in round trip jet fuel alone to fly to the vineyards they could have loaded up the family in the other coach and driven to any number of places to catch the ferrys across to the island.But then that would have ment a shared sacrifice on Obama's part.Lets face it there will be none of that!!!

IF a president needs to travel by bus, it should be protected. Far too many nuts on this earth.

On the other hand, buying a bus so Obama can campaign is a waste of taxpayer dollars and should be illegal. He already as Air Force One on the taxpayer bill. There is NO NEED for this kind of travel.

I also believe that WHEN a president is running for reelection that 100% of ALL expenses should be covered by his campaign. INCLUDING all costs for Air Force One, secret service so on and so forth. NO taxpayer should be funding any president's reelection bid.
