Now that Obama has been elected President of the United States, the White House security staff is working hard to increase protection for our new leader. Obama is the first black US president, after all. There is no telling what could happen to him during his run, especially when you consider the Bush/dangerous shoe incident.
In order to protect our president, the Secret Service has pushed a brand new limousine into commission (obviously not them personally), which is a very large Cadillac limo outfitted with a 5-inch thick body frame, 8-inch-thick doors, run-flat tires, a completely sealed cabin and super thick bulletproof windows. The exterior trim has a slick and glossy black finish until you hit the bulletproof doors however which are an unattractive and dull grey color. The vehicle looks somewhat like a demolition derby car that was pieced back together with random parts.
A news agency even commented that the vehicle could withstand “a direct hit from an asteroid”, but the GM spokeswoman, Joanne K. Krell just laughed in reply.
Although the car is not as attractive on the outside, Krell has admitted that it is a true luxury Cadillac and jokingly commented, “And it will fix you a latte if you ask”.
GM also has helped design a unique terminator-like Suburban fully equipped with a huge Gatling gun that ejects via the roof. This allows the Secret Service to pose as a very powerful sentry and fight off many different kinds of caravan attacks, should the need arise.
The United States Secret Service have given the President’s new limo a name, “The Beast”.
