The White House announced on Tuesday that President Obama would travel around the Midwest next week on a “three-day economic bus tour,” hitting the hotspots of southern Minnesota, northeastern Iowa and western Illinois.
Really? The president? On a bus?
This is the guy who usually travels around with not one, but two planes, which ferry his car, nicknamed ‘the beast’ around, including to international destinations, all in the name of security. But with an election campaign underway — and a grim economic outlook at the moment — there’s a premium for political candidates on appearing as of-the-people as possible.
So the president will be busing it. (He will still fly to the Midwest, officials say, but once he is there, be on the lookout for, if not a Greyhound, at least a large bullet-proofed vehicle)
