Double Take - Obama's Beast Beaten

Obama's Beast
What a sexy hunk of black muscle
Wednesday, 1st June 2011
Written by Natasha Ashurst

Barack Obama's visit across the pond should have been monumental in its excitement, and significant of the strong bonds we share with our friends in the United States.

But the trip (or, perhaps, flop) to Ireland left the President's ferocious Beast in a rather embarrassing situation in front of crowds of excited Obama fans.

As you may be aware, the Pres doesn’t just have a car, he has a BEAST; a bullet-proofed, slick, black machine of American muscle.

However, as Barack left the US Embassy in Dublin, this slick, black, muscle-bound Beast got stuck on a humble ramp. Poor Beast was left lying helpless while his VIP passenger was less than impressed with his trusted pet. It would seem that no amount of foresight (or bullet-proof glass) could have equipped the President's team for such an event. Bomb proof, bullet proof and stacked with blood supplies for the President, his car failed at this small hurdle and lay down defeated - less a Beast, more a pathetic invertebrate.

Never mind though, once back on the road Barack had a BBQ with our man Cameron to look forward to and many a meaty treat to cook and serve up - perfect opportunity to regain man points.
