Updated – Rush Limbaugh Repeats Fake Allegations That Obama Faked His Bus Tour

video
» 124 comments

President Obama’s Listening Tour did little to convert his critics, with some complaining about a President campaigning this early while others saw weakness in his traveling through states he carried handily in 2008. There was also that whole PR fiasco about his bus having been built partly in Canada. Today though, new allegations have been spreading rapidly through the Conservative blogosphere, that Obama’s bus tour had been faked and that he and the buses had actually been flown for most of the trip, a huge expenditure both financially and environmentally. Today on his radio show, Rush Limbaugh repeated the allegations, claiming Obama did it all for “imagery.”

However, it appears that the story is the thing that was actually faked.

Update: The White House responds.

The story seems to have started in a post on LiveLeak in which the mysterykeeper claims to have heard it from an unnamed AP reporter:

“This is really disgusting! The so called ‘Bus Tour’ was not a bus tour at all !
An AP reporter said that Obama might have ridden these expensive buses only one mile at each stop. Therefore, it wasn’t really a “BUS TOUR”! Obamaspent most of the ‘BUS TOUR’ on an airplane traveling between stops. It looks like Obama has scammed the American people again……..with the help of the liberal media. It’s no damn telling just how much this “show” cost the American taxpayer.
OBAMA’S HYPOCRISY KNOWS NO BOUNDS !!!”

The story spread from site to site until it landed on Limbaugh’s show today where he read an account from SayAnythingBlog. However, the website Human Events has updated their version with a quote from blogger Coldwarrior who attempts to show how the story is pretty darn improbable. Coldwarrior explains that he used Google Maps to show that the distances between Obama’s stops were never more than 59 miles apart, and were usually much shorter.

From Human Events:

“Because the distances between some of his stops were as few as 22 miles, and there’s plenty of photos and videos showing him in all of these locations, practically it would have taken longer to get to an airport, load up, take off, land, unload, etc. than to simply just make the drive. And, as you’ll see, there just aren’t the kind of airfields need in that part of the country. I know. I’ve driven much of the route over the years.

So, secondly, even if they had wanted, despite the short distances involved, to fly the buses and/or Obama ahead to the next stop, there simply are not enough airfields in that area of the country that could handle the aircraft involved (certainly not the 747 AF1 and not the C-5A or C-17 cargo aircraft that would have been needed for the buses).”

If a Human Events commenter’s math isn’t good enough for you, though, there’s always the gaggle of lamestream media reporters who follow the President wherever he goes. Mediaite’s White House correspondent Tommy Christopher calls the story “sheer idiocy,” pointing out that a five-minute review of the pool reports from the trip shows that the large contingent of press that travels with the President was with him every step of the way. “There was even one pool report that gave an odometer reading, for crying out loud.”

Even so, Christopher has reached out for comment on the story. We will update when more information is available.

True or not, the story is the toast of the conservative blogosphere. It’s the kind of story that will get quickly passed around from detractor to detractor, each of whom shaking their head at this supposed unbelievable hypocrisy. Sure, most of these people would never vote for him in the first place, but stories like this, repeated enough, can pass into legend, and color a politician’s reputation no matter how hardily they’re disproven.

With that being said, maybe this might actually help Obama if it’s true. After all, those planes were actually built in America, right?

    While you’re masturbating over ‘levying taxes,’ you might want to start with the porch-sitters not paying ANY taxes. And yes, GE is in that mix. Funny how Libs can’t fault GE…which is firing thousands more people than it’s hiring, has one of the biggest fleets of those ‘eeee-vil’ ‘corporate jets,’ and paid NO taxes on hundreds of millions of dollars in income.

    No DIM LIB seems to be trotting out GE…a maker of crappy appliances anyway…as an example of their supposed anger.

    What fool taxes people that have no money? The people making the money are the ones who need to be taxed. So the bottom 50% who supposedly sit on their porch, they have not generated billions of dollars of extra over the top income so taxing them would be futile. Obviously, when it comes to taxing, you follow the money. As for the big profitable corporations like GE, well of course their taxes are unconscienably low and should be raised.

    As someone who has the President all too close to his backyard too many times, this is silly.

    The disruption that comes with the President is a pain in the butt.  I’ve noticed that there is a lot of talk about Bush and the flyover of Katrina.  Total BS.  Watching Obama stare at a few NOAA monitors doesn’t mean he’s somehow in charge.  He’s got a darned good head of FEMA, unlike Bush.  That said, I’m tired of that Bush photo as the “he wasn’t hands on” narrative.

    He had advisers that said, “Going down there will disrupt rescue operations.”, and they were right.

    I have a lot of things to be ticked off about Bush and his policies, but I’ve seen first hand when a President comes into your town.

  • Redleaf

    Why are we even discussing this?
    Rush knows it’s not true. He also knows that if he says it, people will talk about it.
    So, for once, let’s not do him the favor.

    I mean, stupid people can put on their thinking caps and really convince themselves that Obama’s bus tour was faked. And Rush knows his audience is filled with stupid people who will take whatever he says and proclaim it true. But that doesn’t mean the rest of us have to waste our time.

    Hatred of Obama from the Right amuses me – he has basically continued the Bush policies across the board.  In fact you could argue he is more conservative.  Is passing Mit Romney’s health care bill his big sin?  He has cut more taxes (payroll tax ) and kept every one of W’s tax cuts while maintaining non-regulation of financial industries and environmental regulation has continued its decline under barry.

    Under Barry we are still drilling baby drilling everywhere – what is it the Right wants from him.  Now for those on the left I totally understand anger toward President Obama but the Right, really?

    President Obama has been touring all over the midwest these past few
    weeks, giving speeches to crowds of fans, anxious to hear what’s next on
    his agenda.  One could be forgiven for believing that these are less
    about pushing the president’s current agenda, and more about launching
    the reelection campaign, however this is a charge that the
    administration adamantly denies.
    But there is a very simple reason that this is viewed as more of a
    campaign effort.  Boasting bulletproof windows, five inch thick doors,
    and it’s own oxygen supply, the President has made the rounds for these
    speeches in a multi-million dollar bus, dubbed “The Beast” by it’s
    critics.  There’s been no shortage of opinions from people and pundits
    on this bus and how having the President tour around the midwest in a
    caravan of cars and seated on a tour bus sends the message that he is on
    the campaign trail and using taxpayer dollars to do it.

    It appears however, that this might not be the case.  According to some sources he hasn’t really been riding these buses much at all.  They say, he’s been flying them.

    Apparently President Obama only rode the buses for a couple of miles at a time, spending the rest of the time flying from community to community in Air Force One. What’s more, the buses were flown from stop to stop as well.
    It’s normal practice for the President’s entire motorcade to be loaded
    up on cargo planes and flown from destination to destination. The buses
    were just a new part of that motorcade.
    But why wouldn’t the presidential limousine have sufficed? Or one of
    the other armored vehicles that routinely travel with the President?
    Apparently because the President wanted the imagery of a bus. And buses are what he got.

    So good news America! If these reports are true, then not only do you
    get the pleasure of having a $1.1 million dollar bus carting the
    President around to “enlist” voters to fight for his reelection, but you get to marvel at the hypocrisy of an administration hell bent on destroying industries with carbon footprints too large for comfort, while they themselves are flying entire caravans of SUVs and buses in giant 747s flanked by fighter jets.

    All so the president can travel a couple of miles per stop with the
    image that he’s on the ground with the people when in reality, he
    couldn’t be more detached from them, their problems, or this continually
    declining economy.  You couldn’t ask for a better metaphor.

    Saying Obama apparently rode the buses a few miles at a time is not the same as what the article tile says: “Rush Limbaugh Repeats Fake Allegations That Obama Faked His Bus Tour”.

    If they are just quoting Rush quoting others, then they are no different then Rush: “Mediaite Repeats Fake Allegations That Obama Faked His Bus Tour”.

    A “faked” tour implies that was no tour.

    They have been stagnated since before Obama. The continuation of Bush policies, as enforced by Republican control of the house, is the cause of the stagnation.
    Before you say what about the Senate, that institution is so f’d up that any one senator can stop the whole show.

    And what is Obama supposed to gain from this bankrupting the US?
    Anything? Anything at all?
