Obama had the bus driver pull over so he could look over a secnic river. He lost his footing a tumbled down the hill into the river. Three kids fishing pulled him out. Obama shouted you boys just saved the POTUS what can I do for you.
The 1st kid said his dad had lost his job and they needed a vacation. No problem son we’ll pick you up on Airforce1 and do Disney World.
The 2nd kid said his dad lost his job too, and he needed new shoes. No Problem I know MJ he’ll sign a few pair & we’ll play 1on1 at the WH.
The 3rd boy spoke up loudly “All I want is a Wheel Chair with all the Bell’s and Whistles TV MP3 Computer everything.
Obama asked him with a worried tone “Is someone hurt at your home son?
The boy replied “Not yet, But you wait till my Dad finds out I saved you!”

Posted on August 15, 2011 at 1:13pmAnd We’re Off: Obama Boards The Magical Misery Tour Bus – Update: Secret Service Buys Two New $1.1 Million Buses For Three-Day Trip…
UPDATE: Cha-ching!
(CBS News) — The U.S. Secret Service has two new buses in its fleet for President Obama to use on his 3-day Midwest bus trip starting today.
An official tells CBS News the buses were purchased in recent months and will serve as part of the fleet of vehicles the Secret Service uses for all of its protectees.
In the past, the Secret Service would lease buses as needed and outfit them with the security and communications equipment as needed.
“We have not been satisfied with the level of protection offered by leased buses,” said a Secret Service official.
Another official said the buses cost the service $1.1-million and are of a size and make the Secret Service finds most suitable for its equipment and protective requirements.
