Picture taken on Sussex today just outside the US embassy. President Obama’s motorcade arrives in Ottawa.
The Presidential limo is just out of frame on the right. There’s an indent on the door where a magnetic presidential seal is affixed when the President is in the limo. The second vehicle to the right in the photo is a Chevy Suburban and has an interesting feature that any self-respecting motorcade should have:
There are usually 15 cars in the motorcade including two “presidential” limos. One limo serves as a security decoy and both are missile proof.
Perhaps Harper’s “Bush-like” motorcade can upgrade itself to “Obama class”,
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s motorcade has acquired a presidential look.
But one MP says the big black SUV now cruising at the rear of the entourage is a bit too remindful of President George W. Bush.
And its gas-chugging potential raises other issues, even for a prime minister who ditched the Kyoto accord, says New Democrat Pat Martin.
