Presidential Limo

Isn't it interesting to note who takes no notice of disability carparks? I was pointed to a photo of the US Presidential Limousine, parked quite obviously in front of a disability carpark sign.

The photographer has given no indication as to where/when this was taken and it is entirely possible that the car is illegally parked preventing a disabled passenger from parking there, although it is more likely that the entire area was cordonned off and that no one could even come close to the parking spaces, whether disability parking or not.

Whatever it was, it's not a good look. He might be the President, but his driver could have parked 2 meters over and it wouldn't have looked this bad...

    omg thats worse. ronald reagan or jimmy carter never would have parked in front of a handicapped fireman's locker. SHAME SHAME!

    No offense, but you guys need a real hobby.

  3. Carolann says:

    It is a real sad state of affairs when the President of the United States is so disabled that he cannot read. However, stupidity does not qualify for disabled parking. When the President considers himself and his staff above the law, it is little wonder that the country is in so much trouble!

    Well they are doing a bunch of things worse than park in a handicapped spot.... although Bush is mentaly handicapped so I dont think it was too bad, he finally admited it and parked on the right spot.

  5. Lui says:

    How do we know if the passenger was not a handicapped? the plate number says number two not a number one.

    This is a Photoshop job. The limo is parked in a hangar or in a firehouse, where there are commonly yellow lines to demarc areas. Not that the "sign" is hanging on a locker. All politics aside, this photo is suspect. If the site is to have credibility, these types of posts should be avoided.

    Yep, it's a photoshopped, I looked at them carefully, they're at the fire station, notice the firefighter's helmet and gears in the lockers. floor drain for washing an emergency vehicles and yellow strip for alignment while they're backing a vehicles, usually my fire dept have alignment yellow lines on newer vehicles have onboard back-up video, some older vehicle the 2 firefighters uses wired remote back of emergency vehicle for alignment back-up, a driver see monitor box which right or left to line-up of alignments.

    This is obviously a pasted up photo. I really do not believe that is the presidential limo. I have seen preseidential limos from Nixon, Clinton, Carter and Bush, Senior. None of them had a front license plate, and were not based on a Cadillac Escalade. I do not know whose limo that is, but take my word for it, it is not presidential.

  9. Michael says:

    There is nothing wrong with the pres' limo parking in the handicapped spot. Believe me, the entire area is secured from outsiders, including anyone driving a vehicle that might be handicapped, and therefore the pres is not denying anyone of a parking space. When the president travels the entire roadway and highways are secured. "From Everyone!"

  10. Kramer says:

    Too bad we couldn't see what state that is on there or we could scan the dmv for who it belongs to.

  11. Jack Ryan says:

    Interesting photo, but I would like to point out a few facts.

    1. I've been close to "Limosine One", that is the actual license plate issued to the Presidential limos. (same plate used for ALL of the limos) Kramer, it is a Washington DC plate. Good luck running it through DMV.

    2. That doesn't look like a parking lot, it looks like the inside of a fire station. See the drain, see the clean floor. I've never seen a parking lot that clean. The limos arrive a few days prior to the arrival of the President, and are often stored in the airport's fire station

    3. Firefighters have a unique sense of humor. That sign could have been put on the locker prior as a joke to the owner of the locker, or put up just for the photo of the Presidential Limo.

    Ease up, if you want this site to be taken seriously, knock it off with these types of photos and comments.

  12. Dan Martin says:

    Also if the vehicle was outside in a disabled spot then I would think secret service would be all over it no matter if the President was in it or not.

  13. Larry says:

    It's apparently a U. S. Department of State vehicle. Also appears likely to have been edited or pasted. Not a presidential vehicle in any event. Regardless, the officials using those vehicles don't routinely decide where to park anyway since they are generally dropped off at an entrance.

    Closing comments on this one. Conjecture and "if" and so on and so forth. Let's keep it as a "curiosity".

The taxi company was contacted and their general manager is going to look into it. He said: "If you have any additional information on the date and time of this incident I would welcome the receipt of that so we can identify the driver concerned at the time and address the matter with them directly.

I may not buy more in one go, but I guarantee you I spend as much, if not more, than the average punter does in a week.
