Mitt Romney on Obama’s Midwest Excursion: It’s a Magical Mystery Bus Tour (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, August 15, 2011, 6:17 AM
Romney dubs Obama’s Midwest excursion a “magical mystery bus tour.”
From the Romney website: During his Magical Misery bus tour this week, it is unlikely President Obama will speak with unemployed Americans, to near-bankrupt business owners, or to families struggling to survive in this economy. He is more interested in campaigning in swing states than working to solve the economic crisis that is crushing the middle class. Turning this economy around will require real leadership and the experience of someone who has actually worked in the private sector.
ABC reported:
A new web video and harsh criticism emerged from the Mitt Romney camp today as President Barack Obama launched his three-day bus tour that will make stops in Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois.
Dubbing the president’s trip the “Magical Misery bus tour,” Romney said in a statement that “it is unlikely President Obama will speak with unemployed Americans, to near-bankrupt business owners, or to families struggling to survive in this economy.”
“He is more interested in campaigning in swing states than working to solve the economic crisis that is crushing the middle class,” said Romney. “Turning this economy around will require real leadership and the experience of someone who has actually worked in the private sector.”
And in the web video titled “Obama Isn’t Working: Minnesota,” the campaign interviews several Minnesotans ahead of the president’s visit today.

So true.
Ken Moore commented:
Make that “Misery” rather than “Mystery” as noted in the text.
Ken Moore commented:
Although “Mystery” works too. Just what does he hope to acheive?

“It’s a Magical Mystery Bus Tour,” says one big government socialist to another.

I wonder how long it will take for the liberal media to dig up one of Perrys girl friends. You know they are good at it!
pink tie Republican commented:
Whay strikes me is these fools voted for Obama, now they think he can actually do something to create jobs. What happened to IQs in Minnesota?
Jimmer commented:
“Mystery” is the plan. “Misery” is the result.
myohmy commented:
Anybody who are billionaires should send billions of dollar to the federal government. Warren Buffet should set the example, instead of writing useless op-ed on NYT.

Stupid name for the tour. It should be “The Magical Misery Tour”.

@10 The Downgrade Express!
Campaigning for a job he cannot do, hence he campaigns.

This is ObamAA+’s Throw America Under the Bus Tour.
Brought to you by the SEIU and the AFL-CIO.

Rush has “Debt Man Driving”.
3 buses on our dime for this rolling garbage haul.
Major Kong commented:
What, no evil “greenhouse” gases from two heavily armored, diesel fuel sucking buses?
Where the hell is Al Gore when his country REALLY needs him?
Redwine commented:
Bozo Bus
Shovel Ready Express
G-d D*mn AmeriKKKa Express
Spendulous Tours
Oh – It’s 2 buses. The regime bought the buses. Another waste of our money.
Old Fan commented:
Excellent offering – Thank you Romney Campaign.
We need all the GOP Candidates running for the Presidency to focus on the disastrous Democratic Party in this manner – everyone must get the job done for 2012.
No matter who wins the Nomination, we have to focus on the real priority.
A Race between two serious CEOs of proven capability, as in Perry and Romney would be healthy.
But we cannot let the personal bias amongst us to enable the opposite again.
We have to remove Mr. Obama and the Democratic Partisan majorities in 2012, period.
Eddie Willers commented:
Some enterprising young activists should drive Ahead & behind the Presidential convoy with vehicles emblazoned with the U.S. Misery Index on them…
Today for example it would read
U.S. Misery Index 12.76

The “Throw the whole country under the bus” tour.

Michelle’s going to go ballistic when she learns the bus is too large to use the MacDonald’s drive thru lane.

How many secret service vehicles in the motorcade? How many helicopters overhead? How many state ploice cars diverted? This “tour de farce” will tie up traffic in the midwest for days. I’m really going to be po’d if this stunt delays my Amazon order.

Moochelle needs a Wide Load sign for herself.
succotash commented:
Someone on this site suggested “BRAYHOUND BUS” for the braying jacka$$.He sure can spend the taxpayers money. They bought these buses not rented them.
Redwine commented:
Jim Hoft – Your header for the post is incorrect. Romney cleverly called it “The Magical Misery Tour” – not “Mystery Tour”.
Redwine commented:
Anyone care to measure the “carbon footprint” of this monstrous waste of everything?
Fly AF1 to bus. 2 heavily plated buses on the road. Back to AF1. Whole shebang flies to another locale. Repeat the whole mess over and over. The eco-nuts should be out protesting this. Where’s Comrade Barry’s precious EPA?
Mark1957 commented:
I saw this movie already, it’s called “PeeWee’s Big Adventure”.
Brian M commented:
Obama is on Fox right now complaining about things. He reminds me of that shrink in the movie The Natural. The one who keeps trying to explain away why their team is always losing.
Sara in Illinois commented:
I just read that the buses were purchased by the taxpayers for this farce instead of rented or leased. Now we are paying for his campaign tour.

Hope Downgrade-1 has engine problems, and he’s stuck out in the middle of a jobless community.
Campaigning on our dime, in the middle of ecconomic turmoil — What an embarrassment this slime ball is to our Country.
Neo commented:
Little know fact, Obama’s armored bus cost $2.2 million.
I’m sure it get 54.5 MPH .. right ?
Marmo commented:
I seriously doubt that Obama will lower himself to actually ride in a bus. He’ll come in on a helicopter after the buses come near a town, then get on the bus.
Redwine commented:
Right, Marmo (#36). Comrade Dear Leader wouldn’t deign to ride a bus, even a bus that costs $2.2 million of hard-earned taxpayer money. Bus riding is for the lowly peasant class who serve at his and Michelle Antoinette’s pleasure.
Molon Labe commented:
How about Marxist One?
Jimmer commented:
How does having the President of the United States ride a bus make it seem like things are getting better? I guess you can’t bash private jets all summer and then fly all over America. He should have booked passage on the Galt Line.
RL commented:
Mouth One?
Valerie commented:
A three-day bus tour that starts and ends with an airplane trip? Huh?
Gary commented:
I watched a video of Obama’s 2 mile long caravan and armored mortuary camper today, Wow! Overbearing, ineffcient, pointless and wasteful, the visual of this hulking entourage is some kind of metaphor alright. If you missed getting your Magical Misery Tour t-shirt, at least get your bumper sticker
