An aside: Mark Levin
(radio commentator) brought up an interesting question today...Who walks "Bo"
when the Pres is away? Plus, I'm curious how much we are paying for the
dog sitter(s), the movie projectionist(s), the calligraphers, etc. etc.?
Of course, we're already paying for the golf outings too...at about $1.5 mil a
round! -- rfh

Israelis are surprised to see Barack Obama's signature black limousine sitting on the
back of a lorry. One of US President Barack
Obama's protective limousines has broken down in
Israel.
The black, heavily guarded limousine experienced mechanical problems before Mr. Obama landed in the country for a state visit.
The disabled limo was swapped for a back-up, and Mr. Obama's busy itinerary in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on Wednesday was unaffected. "This is why we bring multiple vehicles and a mechanic on all trips," US Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan said in a statement.
"Situations like this are planned for extensively by our advance teams so that the President's itinerary is unaffected by these types of issues." Media reports said the vehicle was mistakenly filled with diesel rather than petrol, but this was not confirmed.
The US President arrived in the Middle East on Wednesday for a three-day tour of Israel and the Palestinian Territories.
It is his first trip to the region since he first took office in 2009.
