Obama's "Beast" gets stuck

[OakRidgeStars]

The Dear Leader's tank of a limo, nicknamed "The Beast", gets stuck on a high driveway in Ireland. Watch as the hilarity ensues.



Too bad they pulled the bus up to block the activity. I'm sure it would have looked like a bad episode of "Operation Repo"

Looks like the front suspension collapsed. If you check the video below, you can even see the passenger front tire lift up right before the snap. That limo is one heavy beast.



The sound it makes snapping and hitting the ground is interesting.

Notice the rooftop security detail.

oh man...didn't realize this was already posted before my dreaded double-post!

Well, clearly I was wrong - it wasn't high-centered - more like a catastrophic front suspension anomaly! Still a bit of hilarity in it

That limo is a far cry from the days when Presidents use to walk the streets unattended.

Or when they used to ride in convertibles. November 22, 1963 in Dallas changed all that forever.

You mean the "Good Ol' Days" where every 20 years the President caught a case of death(pneumonia or other disease) or was assasinated? Sometimes when you take a serious look at the "Good Ol' Days" they really weren't...

Interesting isn't it that there was only one attempted assassination before Lincoln (Andrew Jackson, which appears to be more about insanity than politics...there were no successful attempts either!).

Funny how once limited Constitutional government died, the need to protect to the President like a ruler rather than a civil servant became necessary, isn't it?

Nice "Good Ol' Days" strawman though. Clearly limited, Constitutional government prohibits modern medical advances, technology, etc.

Hmmmm ... Black dude with a fancy Cadillac that's so poorly maintained it's sitting in the middle of the road with all it's fancy gadgets inoperable. - -

Looks like the White house motor pool benefits from the same planning, execution and expertise as the rest of the Obama administration.

I am dissapoint!

Da beast needs moar hydraulics and perhaps some whistle tips, whilst it is in the shop.
