1. Doesn't that limo weigh 400 tons?
Well...maybe not that much, but isn't it very heavy because of armoring et al?
Ooops indeed.

6. So how did they resolve it?
Funny. :D

But how did they get the heavy car off the ramp? It's not like you could just get a group of guys to lift the back end over the ramp.

Police will have to answer for this crucial error in planning.

Wow, it doesn't impress me that something as simple as this could be overlooked.

By the way, how fast did this get resolved. It's a major security flaw, leaving the President open to attack, IMO And yes, it concerns me, a little.

I don't like to see simple things like this become additional fodder for the Obama haters around the world. Look at all the ugly comments on the original Youtube link.
