Wright, Obama’s granny, and a handful of others under that monstrosity of a tour bus, but I’m laughing too hard over “Fly free not-so-little-Moonbat, fly free!”

Has he no respect for the planet?

Deathstar Bus Tour, indeed! And as for the observation that Darth Vader only traveled in white vehicles, perhaps we should look at it from the standpoint of “what if Darth Vader were a Transformer?” Seriously, who is in charge of PR over there? Remarks about being thrown under the bus by Obama have become common in the last few years and the comparisons to Sarah Palin are inevitable whether he chose the bus or not. Furthermore, a campaign bus tour (he can call it what he likes but it looks like a campaign tour to everyone but the most ardent Obama partisans,) reinforces the criticism that he’s more interested in running for president than actually BEING president. Honestly, one almost feels sorry for stupidity — utterly clueless, the lot of them.

By the way, from the “Special” Ed Schultz responses — I’m going to be saying “Fly free not-so-little-Moonbat, fly free!” for the rest of the day. Thanks for the laugh!

Should he use the Seal of the President of the United States? (Traditional, but so old hat.)

Or possibly the Seal of the President-Elect, designed just for him?

Or his “vero possimus” (Latin for “truly, I am a possum”) campaign-era seal?

How about his own rising-sun logo? Or the Soviet-era HOPE poster?

Cap’n Rusty: I agree in re the imagery. But it’s not necessary to run afoul of the Secret Service for this. A big, black, blank bus… it’s begging to be photoshopped.

respectfully,
Daniel in Brookline

Jackson and his team from S.H.I.E.L.D. as they back up Tony Stark and Iron Man. Too bad Tony Stark can’t run for president.

I think you have the right church but the wrong pew. In this case the wrong fictional character.

What sprang to mind when I saw the thing was Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter.

A Voldsmobile?

There was a Secret Service detail assigned and you have no idea how those people operate. Those were relatively peaceful times with no major threats anyone knew about. You would have believed that terrorists were lieing in wait to assassinate the King at every turn. It was like being under the control of paranoid prison guards convinced that everyone was a killer. So, considering how much more serious and ubiquitous the threat is today, I imagine the bus and the way it operates is very much a reflection of the Secret Service’s modus operandi.

That said, I agree that the optics are awful, and I love that. Thank you Secret Service!
