Barack Obama's car, nicknamed 'the beast', gets stuck

Barack Obama's cavalcade car caused some drama when it got stuck emerging from the gates of the US embassy in Dublin.

The low bottom of the car, nicknamed The Beast because of its bomb-proof features, seemed to catch on a ramp crossing over the gateway.

It is not clear if Mr Obama was in the car involved as security officials blocked the view of the incident.

The US President and First Lady then left by another exit.

US security services later denied it was "The Beast" that got stuck, saying "it was a spare limo, carrying staff and support personnel".

Ouch! this must been embarrasing for the president ! i mean it's a minor thing but its the first time and only president to get hit by a RAMP ! and he call his limo a beast LOL. I Just wanted to point out the cops on the right of the video. When the car went bang, they started moving quickly away from the President's car. Guess they were more concerned with their health than POTUS.

This must be the 3-4th post on this. I think the search function has become invisible.

Oh well it happens....


I'm sure this probably a attempt to start let another bash Obama thread.
I'm sure the teabags will jump in.

interesting they call it the "beast"...I wonder if the SS refer to it as such when communicating.

Ho, Swizzy - I won't beef on you, but did want to let you know that some networks (like mine at work) do completely keep search from working.

I'll usually try to scan through the news firehose before posting anything from there, but just wanted to let you know - no issues from home, though.

Maybe he got into the 'bus lane'.

How Funny.
Obama is lucky a terrorist wasn't chasing him then or he was screwed.
The most powerful man in the world needs a new car, i think.

How the hell is that even possible with all the money we taxpayers spend on security and transportation for this entourage? I'm pretty sure that "speed bump" has been there for a while but nobody thought to check the clearance on the armored limo when it was fully loaded? What an embarassment.
There better be a few security people looking for a new job after this one.

yea, he was searching for his Ghetto Irish roots.....lol.....My God, will this so called man ever quit....

I guess some people are lucky that they don't live in a ghetto. Anyway the car most likely had air suspension with a bug in it, being it was the US embassy. Air suspension usually is adjustable. The BMW seemed to have a slighter problem too as it graunched a bit.

This made me laugh! Thanks for the link. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke!

"The Beast" Sounds like a nickname a 5 year old came up with.
