    Very cool.

    The final Suburban in the caravan also has one pointing rearward. You do not want to rush the convoy from behind.

    I pray that we won't have to find out whether its bullet proof. I don't want anything to happen to Obama or his family. The repercussions could be devastating for this country.

    The Obama limo

    Not so much a secret, it seems. As you would expect, it's pretty bad-ass ...

    The doors are armour-plated too, with eight-inch thick steel making them reportedly weigh as much as the cabin door of a 757 jet.

    Up front there are defence accessories to assist the trained detail such as night vision cameras, pump-action shotguns and tear gas cannons. Bottles of the president's blood are also kept aboard, if needed in an emergency.

    Which costs more and which is physically stronger, the presidential limo or the popemobile?

    The Obamas were all decked out like Michael Jordan, or Tiger Woods on Sunday.

    A Secret Service guy this morning looked like he had to open a door with two hands. Heavy.

    Yeah, Taps. The mention of the gatling gun made me think of it. Looking for the pick and the quote, I also came upon this nugget. Tom Cruise's character in the film was a big Dungeons and Dragons player. Made me laugh.
