@Spartan117FS that's a common misconception, a decoy is not necessary especially since they drive so close to each other. it's actually a spare limo and it has been used before. the president has actually gotten out of one and into the other when the one he was in broke down!
I agree but it's not JUST protection. There's the protection, news media, presidential staff, gps vehicle (the surburban with the really high antenna, and many more people. Plus, look at the queen, who'd want to hurt a nice old British lady that slightly resembles your grandmother? lol
Good lord, talk about overkill. I know he is the President, but does he really need all those vehicles following him? Compare this to the Queen of England that travels with one police motorcycle in front, her car with her and a protection agent, and a car behind that with 4 agents. It's not like Obama really needs so many agents, he is already traveling in a bullet proof limo, so I would think she wouldn't need more than 4 or 5 other cars following him.
@osallent I think the people who would "like" to kill the president of the united states far outnumber the people in this impressive motorcade. Just sayin, Its not overkill, it took a handful of men(supposedly) to assasinate JFK and he also had a army around him. rip
You still think It'd be easy for someone to disrupt the convoy. Set up some car to like stop in front of the caravan, then have 3 people with 50 Cal sniper rifles take shots at Obama from a obscured vantage point. Or you think some insane fighter pilot/ helicopter pilots could simply drop a bomb, or do an A-10 strafing run on the limo.
his motorcade is so heavily armed even a bomb wouldn't hurt the people inside. The windows alone are 10 inches thick. it even has an oxygen supply in the back in case of a nuclear threat. that is crazy how many people are guarding him
@1010Tj1010 No vehicle can survive a strong bomb blast. Military or otherwise. A 2" bullet resistant windshield weighs approx 300lbs. Just for one piece of glass. !0" would be impossible to install. Never mind the fact that the limo couldn't handle that kind of weight. Its a car. Only so much you can do with it. He should be riding in a tank...
seems kind of scary to me that people can get that close to the motorcade. what if some psycho put a bomb in a manhole or just ran out into the road. I know the motorcade is fuckin huge. but a well planned attack would at least mess things up pretty bad.
@brightonboarder Typically manholes are inspected, and then welded shut. As for running into the road... well that's why he has a small army both in front, and behind. I would assume that he also has a helicopter doing surveillance, as well as jets circling above. Considering that is what's done for the Canadian Prime Minister.
I'm glad President Obama is well protected. I don't care if it cost a lot to protect him because he's our president and we look up to him to lead us. Some people may disagree with me, but if they were the president, they would want to be protected as well.
@alexmiddlen Thank those Americans who make threats against every president and those who have attempted or gone through with those threats. Also, thank the NRA for every citizen still being allowed weaponry that demands security prevention like this.
Hah; I wonder who was riding in the hooptie minivan directly behind the limos. Some blown out family truckster right in the mix. Lee Iaccoca would be proud.
This is pretty much the same size motorcade that Bush 41, Clinton, and Bush 43 have used...local police at the front, then USSS command cars, a couple of "Beast" armored limos, three or four black USSS warwagons, a van for the nuclear football and WH physician, several white vans for White House staff and press corps, the USSS tactical support truck, the WHCA van, an ambulance, and more local police bringing up the rear.
yer this is america lets wave our flags in our own country to american people? seriously, that doesnt happen here in enlgand, because we know what country were in, we dont need reminders :)
you need to steady the cam a bit when you try to pan it to catch the motorcade. And don't forget to focus... it is a bit blurry. But you are getting the excitement of the observers so that is very nice!
the white unmarked vans are press vans, the black unmarked one is a small special tackle force that is armed incase he is attacked they give him enough time to get out and secure the location
@Allaboutbass62 the unmarked vans are the Press Club (Presidential photographers and Historians). The trained fellas are the the ones in the SUVs with the huge antennas and rear widows open for easy eject.
@Allaboutbass62 probably mor elike 350 people and turrets and funports on most of the car, plus a a police helicopter usually. yeah id feel pretty safe
@Allaboutbass62 actually only the black unmarked suburbans carry the tactical forces. the white unmarked vans are filled with white house staff, correspondents, and press.
@Allaboutbass62 Not only is is 50 people in the Vans, You got police officersm Civilians willing to help, News people would probably help, Drivers, etc
Its not an ambulance its a special secret service tactical force almost like swat. In case the president is under fire the team moves in to give enough time to get the president out. They are always suited up and ready to go in all motorcades. It also carries anti missile equipment, extra ammo, and automatic weapons.
More then Obama? No wonder He doubled the national debt, Ruined the value of the dollar and left the economy in the worst shape in history... BECAUSE HE SPENT IT ALL ON SECURITY!!!.. lol
Get your facts right. Obama took over when the ship was sinking thanks to Bush policies. Remember he was voted in to fix the mess. He didnt cause it. As for the security Bush came to London in 2003 with 700 people. Clinton went to Asia in 2000 with 1000 people! Obama is in Europe now with 500 people. If anything he's cut down from the previous presidents. If you have nothing positive say its better to keep quiet than to tarnish him with inaccuracies..
yes I agreee, Bush is to blame for everything, Obama was only in the House and Senate b 4 he ran 4 prez, last time i checked the House and Sen. MAKE THE BILLS THAT SPEND ALL THE MONEY.
Congress makes the bills but the president passes them, or not, and just vetos the bill until congress edits the bill then revotes again which can be a lengthy process. Last time I checked Bush kept vetoing bills in his last year; except the Bailouts which he signed for.
If you look at the motorcade videos where he is in dc they use the new car. IBut I don't know why they haven't used it outside dc yet. I guess they may be waiting on some more to come in.
