How many escort vehicles does it take to transport a President?…

My short attention span wouldn’t allow me to count all of them. I kept getting sidetracked…mini-vans? Was that a pick-up truck with a camper on the back? And, why would they need a utility trailer?

No wonder they had to close so many streets and highways in and around Ottawa. I can’t imagine there could be any less traffic congestion during regular rush hour!

Little did I know that I may be on the verge of greatness with my trend-setting choice of vehicles - the black, stealth-like, incredibly intimidating mini-van. If President Obama ever makes a visit to the GTA, I’ll be ready for the call to duty. Now where do I pick up some of those cool red and blue flashing lights?!

Tammy....I'm not sure...and correct me if I'm wrong...but I am sure I saw a garbage truck in the entourage of vehicles escorting The President. I'm just sayin'....

hmmm, interesting, I hadn't noticed that...but, knowing what he was going to face on Parliament Hill, do you think the President felt that back-up support was in order? :)

Either that or the truck containing the renovation budget for 24 Sussex Dr (all $9.7million of it) got lost?
