Daily Mail points out that usually when a candidate, or President (or in this case President Candidate) rides off in a tour bus it’s usually painted with cheerful slogans, colors, and somehow incorporates the American flag or at the very least, an eagle.
Not Obama’s bus.
It’s big, black, and foreboding.
Because nothing says “Let’s tour American and talk about jobs!” than a big black, hearse-mobile of doom. A giant hearse wherein lies the American economy.
In fact, play the below while you look at the photo above. Imagine if the American public sprang for some Peavys affixed to the top that would blast this as it rolled through the cornfields:
Honestly, why on earth did the administration go with such a vehicle? (Personally, I’m a fan of black and eschew bright colors, but I’m not touring the country trying to bring some hopenchange to Americans in a time when the economy is circling the drain.) They couldn’t at the very least paint a smiley face on it? Is it because the public is footing the bill?
