![]() Considering the weight of that thing, they should probably have used a tank-transporter. |

Obama's Broken Limousine I think it is an appropriate metaphor for the brilliance of Obama's Middle East Foreign Policy and where he is taking our Economy. BTW it is a Government Motors Product Edited by Baldo, Mar 20 2013, 10:27 AM.

You generally cannot pump diesel fuel into a gasoline powered car because the diesel pump nozzle is too big, although that is not 100% true. You can surely pump gasoline into a diesel powered vehicle, though. |

Didn't the beast break down in England not long ago trying to go over a speed bump? |

Someone tweeted: Obama to Bibi, as they walk away, on mic: 'it's embarassing, our entourage. My wife, Michelle, teases me mercilessly' #ObamainIsrael https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ObamainIsrael&src=hash |

President Obama's 9-Ton Cadillac Limousine Breaks Down in Israel President Barack Obama’s 9-ton Cadillac limousine broke down yesterday, March 20th, a couple of hours before his arrival in Israel. Israeli and Jordanian officials had to quickly replace ‘The Beast’ with another limo, which got to the Ben-Gurion Airport at the last minute. According to reports, it was believed that it was the diver’s fault for the car’s breakdown as he filled the tank with gasoline instead of diesel fuel. But a spokesman for the Secret Service said that the vehicle had unspecified mechanical problems which are currently under investigation. “The appropriate gas was put in the car,” spokesman Ed Donovan told CNN. The Cadillac, known as ‘The Beast’, weighs 9 tons, and is fitted with bulletproof glass and the doors and windows seal shut in case of an attack. Motti Matmon, proprietor of Motti Haulage in Jerusalem and the one who had to tow away the car said he was proud and honored of being entrusted to tow away the presidential limousine...snipped http://www.inautonews.com/persidents-obama-9-ton-cadillac-limousine-breaks-down-in-israel#.UUvVxzdfbTo We still can't get a straight answer, but other accounts have the Limo filled in DC before being loading on the plane. Putting Gasoline in a Diesel engine will definitely caused damage. |

Wonder what Barry was driven around with? He certainly didn't ride in "another limo". |

A standard large vehicle would be somewhere around 2-3 tons, maybe 4 with the diesel engine. That leaves about 5+/- tons for armor there. That's quite a load on the structure and drive train! |
