I'm surprised that the USSS allowed westbound I-96 to remain open as well as the overpass under which the motorcade travels. Seems these would be potential vantage points for a determined attacker.
LOL...The presidential limousine is much stronger than a Abrams Tank. It is surrounded by five inches of ballistic armor and the windows are 6 inches thick which does not even allow light into the car. The doors itself are so heavy it requires two men to open and close the door; much like a vault door.
The strength of the limo notwithstanding, even a car or truck that drives into it head-on can kill or seriously injure the occupants of the limo. And the the limo is NOT stronger than an Abrams tank!
Thank you for sharing this peice of history with us. You took action where many just stood by and watched. That's what makes you brave. Actions do speak louder than words. Thank you.
It's idiotic to call taping this brave. Wow, the President's motorcade was video taped....whoopie..big deal!!!! I've never seen a Presidential motorcade before....NO WAIT....I'm from Iowa....happens all the time..
That's not brave...please....watch my video...Bush rally protest....that's not brave either. Nothing will happen to you...they want us scared and you want to brave!!!
keep on beating your god damn drums...and keeping your self from keeping a job...brave...fighting to keep assholes like you...living free..protest, yeah, thats brave....need buckets? i can find you some, keep being a puss
I knew the motorcade was going to be traveling I-96 east, returning to Airforce 1 after visiting the Gerald Ford Tomb at the Gerald Ford Museum, downtown Grand Rapids. No cars where traveling down the eastbound lanes. I knew something was about to happen. I was holding the camera shoulder high in one hand, and my other hand was raised giving the peace sign. From their vantage point, .it may have at first appeared threatening, since I was all alone, holding the object (camera).
thanks for the great footage. you're a brave person. I would have been afraid they would have put me in Guantanamo and labeled me a terrorist for life. again, thank you!
for sure, liberal rhetoric is helping the terrorists. everytime some commie liberal retorts on a video of the president, that creates another cave for bin laden to hide in. that's the reason we still haven't found him....riiiiiight? you bush supportin' guys are funny.
if terrorism were as real as he claims he would have been shot there. we're not killing terrorists in Iraq. we're in the middle of a Civil War. we still haven't heard the truth about 911, and probably never will in our lifetime. IRAQ HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11, and terrorism has been going on for years. it only happens when the US occupies countries. that's why the 243 Marines were killed. it's a shame, but the US should not be over there. enough of the rhetoric.
So is the pointless death toll of both American troops and innocent Iraq's. I would rather hear some liberal rhetoric, bullshit or not, than continuously read about more and more US troops being killed every day for Conservative, bullshit, misguided rhetoric.
I was commenting on the GOP propoganda blaming the liberal media. the media isn't liberal. if the media were liberal the news would be a lot more like Bill Maher or Jon Stewart. the media is liberal statement is propoganda, and has no truth to it. we can only hope for a liberal media. the media was liberal for the first days of Katrina when they showed dead people on I-10 in New Orleans. that was squashed quickly, and the rhetoric was "Who wants to see dead people?"
This video as to do with how the president travals, not with terrorism or media or anything. But the security of the president. Put your comments on videos that their related to.
Thank God that piece of shit is out of office. Son of a bitch left the Economy in ruins!! FUCK YOU BUSH...

that was a dummy motorcade...his motorcade is at least 50 cars long and they would have police cars all the way down the other side of the highway.
they would not let on-coming traffic whiz by his motorcade

What kind of attack would there be? The presidential limo can withstand a nuclear blast as well as rpg's straight at it.

Utter silence , except for the sound of the vehicles rushing by, is an interesting contrast to the usual backdrop of protester noise.
