Obama's road train

[funkyrobot]

Was watching the news and noticed him stepping out of one of his cavalcade of motors. The door and the car chassy looked as thick as a wall, very obviously armoured with bullet-proof glass.

This got me thinking, does anyone know the specs for the vehicles used in the president's road train?

I read somewhere that some of the jeep style trucks that follow him round have tinted windows, because of the .50 cal guns they have stowed in the back. I read that on one of them the roof opens up and the .50 cal cannon pops through the top.

Anybody know if this is true? And anybody know any details about these vehicles?? Quite interesting really.

Drivers window that opens just 3 inches so the driver can pay a toll. Would have though he'd be exempt from that.

To be honest I think the minigun thing's bks. There's nothing that minigun would be any good for that a heavy machinegun wouldn't be better at.

I doubt the automated toll barrier would give a toss.

News Reporter: "Earlier today the presidential limo was baught to a hault by an unexpected enemy. This Toll booth refused to allow Obama through until he gave it a quarter."

Do you think they have paint protection film on the roof of that Suburban? All those hot bullet casings have got to play havoc with your paintwork

I love some of the comments on that site ,this one really made me laugh


The video is good, but what it really needs is Samuel L. Jackson popping up out of the turret and yelling, "Assassinate this, mother-@#$%!"

I heard this was gonna be part of the Governator's motorcade. Then they were going to knock him unconscious, mow down the crowds of protesters, then frame him for it. And then he'd have to compete on a game show to win his freedom.
