They just want you to ~think~ he was on Marine One. It was a decoy. He really took the bus. It looks like one of those rockstar tour buses, but it's heavily armoured and it has a nice powder room for Michelle.
They wanted to take the scenic route through the Blue Ridge Mountains.

How far do you think the President of the U.S. travels by helicopter before the distance becomes so great that they'd use Air Force 1 instead? I'm pretty sure I saw "Marine One" pass over my house about half an hour ago, headed north towards DC, and I know Obama was down at Ft. Bragg this morning. By automobile, it would be about 327 miles from the White House to 18th Airborne Corps HQ (according to Google Maps)... figure about 250 miles "as the crow flies". I just wonder if they'd make the entire trip in the helicopter or if they'd take a helicopter out to Andrews to meet Air Force 1 and another helicopter would be staged down at Pope AFB to make the hop over to Corps HQ (or where ever they met the soldiers). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
