    Unsurprising that the WH would call upon the regional leader in the field.

    Non story, imo.

    I'm quite familiar with them. They are very high-end coaches.

    I only took issue with someone saying they couldn't possibly be produced in the US.

    I'm sure that the Secret Service did no research to find these companies. "Hey, we have to get a bus made for Obama!"

    I'm still waiting for you to name a company that could build one to that kind of spec right now.

    You must be "quite familiar" with more coach companies.
