O'Bama in Ireland
A little hitch:

He also drank a pint of Guinness. Now, given when the president travels, all food and drink (including beer) is brought with them. Did the Secret Service allow Obama to drink a real pint? Maybe have testers there before hand?

Did the US secret service screw up again?
See the video on BBC of the secret service wrecking the limo in Ireland by high centering it. They are so incompetent! IMO

How do you get it off? Thing must weight several tonnes. The sound was funny.

Re: O'Bama in Ireland
I have high centered my limo on a hill in San Francisco and I just dragged it off. It can cost money for the damage underneath but not too much.
