    Gallery: Million-dollar Obama Bus 'made-in-Canada'

    The $1.1 million luxury bus that US President Barack Obama is using during his economic recovery bus tour is built in part by Quebec firm Prevost.

    Yes the Onion should have a good time with this. Maybe something along the lines of a black man in a black bus avoiding black neighborhoods.

    There is that and there's also how he's intentionally avoiding Wisconson in yet another big FU to the Democratic base.

    After a hard, hard day of delivering pretty speeches, our fearless leader deserves no less than a 1.1 Million dollar Canadian-built luxury bus.

    Jimmy Carter's breathing a lot easier now.

    Win The Future!

    From what I read the s was made in Canada. All the innards/engine/safety equipment was done by a company from Tennessee.

    Not like it matters because this is a complete non issue which will only be latched onto by idiots like the OP.

    So what are the odds Obama throws Biden under that bus in favor of someone that might actually help him get reelected?

    In 2004, dubya's campaign bus was from the same Canandian company.

    Repugs always bet on the stupidity, ignorance, and amnesia of Human-Americans. They win that bet every time.

    And did Obama personally order and spec that bus?

    Thanks again for your timely and honest and not at all evasive answers.

    I think if the s was made in the U.S. we would have plentiful jobs.

    I honestly don't give two s about this bus, but why are you suggesting it couldn't be made in the US?

    Ed Donovan, a spokesman for the Secret Service, the agency ordering the bus, told me in a telephone interview that Prevost was selected because the model was the only one “to our knowledge that had the payload capacity, (to) handle the weight of the equipment we were going to put on it.”
    Bus ado about nothing

    There are multiples of this bus. Once the GOP nominee is determined, he or she will be riding in one JUST like this.

    One of the ironies in the Republican complaints: The buses will probably be used for roadtrips by the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, who will be under the protection of the Secret Service. Lynn Sweet

    Fox/Repugs trash talking Barry for using a bus that dubya used is typical distraction, ankle-biting bull , with Barry as anti-American-labor while it's the Repugs cuts that will kill 100Ks American jobs.

    I also recall Dubya rented a squadron of jets to a "mission accomplished" party at a carrier. Do you know how much fuel is for those jets?

    you could probably buy 100 buses for the money spent in the "mission accomplished" party

    I guess he wasn't lying about creating jobs. They're just in Canada and other nations!

    I'm sorry Mr. President for calling you a liar.

    Are you suggesting it can?

    Which company could do it right now?

    Thanks in advance for your always quick and never disingenuous answer.
