Yes, people know this. People also know that this bus could have been built to specifications in the United States. Surely you realize that Canada did not offer anything that could not be done in the United States. Obama is a hypocrite to preach about job creation and then outsource the creation of these bus vehicles.
The funny thing is that the liberals gave Bush a hard time for the same thing...when the economy wasn't in the cesspool and unemployment wasn't nearly as high as it is under Obama.
But now it's ok? Because Canadian fuel is burned in American cars? Whose fault it that?
“The reason I want to get these trade deals done is because you see a whole bunch of Korean cars here in the United States and you don’t see any American cars in Korea,” Obama said Wednesday.
More hypocrisy from the left.
I don't know but he really should have sent a different message than Bush did.
NOPE! You do not build a heavy chassis bus in the U.S. and haven't for as many years as I can remember.
The bus chassis' were built and supplied as a bare chassis skinned and glassed by Prevost Car in Montreal Canada then drop shipped to Hemphill Entertainment in the U.S. who specialize in outfitting these coaches for "entertainers".
ALL of the modifications were done by the U.S. outfitter.
NOW; here's the big question; Why a bus?
Any specialty builder could have built a modern coach with ALL of the upgrades needed by using as a chassis any of those supplied by your DOMESTIC suppliers such as International Truck who also builds school buses.
Engine out front versus in the bum that's the only major distinction that would have created a design change. ALL of your domestic manufacturers are capable of producing a long wheelbase chassis and any of your ancilary suppliers are capable of outfitting the things with armour and bullet proof deep tinted glass.
There are many very capable chassis already built by International Trucks running around in Afghanistan and Iraq at this very moment protecting your troops. International should at least have gotten a call; "we need this built can you supply"?
No one in the Secret Service thought outside the box on this one!
Since the Republican nominee will ride in an identically secured bus, will the Conservatives complain then, or leave themselves open to accusations of hypocrisy?

The only Republican who would use that second bus is one I would nevber vote for since one can bet the Republican bus is covered with listening devices everywhere.

George Bush's bus was also made in Canada... Non issue... Troll thread...
I can't blame all of you obamatrons for deflecting though.
It's getting really embarrassing having to support him, isn't it?
