WASHINGTON - United States President Barack Obama 's security team is taking no chances: During the presidential visit in Israel which begins next Wednesday, the president will ride around Jerusalem in The Beast, the aptly named tank-turned-car, a rolling fortress.


Obama's motorcade will include two such vehicles – each costing $300,000 – driving around between a huge entourage of uniformed and undercover security men.

The article is worth reading if you are interested in Presidential security.

So the story isn't about bright stars seen in the east.

Why did they name his car after his wife?  SS code or something?

Not sure we have much to worry about. He's been a good friend to the ME muslims and aided their effort by liberating Libya's arsenal, enabling huge arms shipments to the region.

Considering his sequestration actions, not sure he should even be traveling outside the U.S.

Maybe he's seeing if he can get an Izzy to take a swipe at him.

Seems like an awful lot of trouble to go through just to tell the Izzies to fuck off.

Doesn't trust his friends much does he?

They want him to punch Iran's clock so they don't have to or get permission to proceed without interference.

Actually, the Izzy's have no reason to trust that lying bastard. WE know for sure he'll say one thing in public and do exactly the opposite behind our backs away from public view. Hopefully, they've seen that act.

They could accomplish their goals via tele conferencing ...but it's so much more fun and impressive to ride around in big jets surrounded by elite guards. Gives the 'victims' a chance to stage events and demonstrations for media consumption.

4 more years ...fuck, just fuck.
