President Barrack Hussein Obama walks to his bus on his August 15 arrival at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where he began his three-day bus tour, campaigning for reelection in the Midwest under the guise of connecting with people on ways to grow the economy.

The three-day bus tour was touted as The Magical Mystery Tour or The STIMUBUS. Two of the buses were bought (in Canada) for $1.1 million each . . . and, of course, paid for by American taxpayers.
Obama would fly into a Midwest airport, hop into and get driven about in one of buses purchased new for the tour. After an hour or so, he would get driven back to the airport for another flight, landing at another airport where the other brand new black bus would be waiting for him . . . and do this repeatedly until his magical tour was done. Then he left on his 12-day Martha's Vineyard vacation to rest up from the ardors of the bus tour.
By the way, those black buses were not driven to the locations where they meet Obama. The buses got loaded onto C-17 aircraft and flown to the destination, repeatedly hop-scotching to be available at every campaign stop ahead of Air Force-1.
In the course of his tour the Prez lectured the 'little people' on how they need to cut back and live within their means. Remember when Obama recently told that family man who said he couldn’t afford to fill up his SUV to go buy a hybrid?
Obama's personal 'carbon footprint' must by now be as large as most cities.
