Obama’s car gets stuck outside U.S. embassy in Dublin
Source: Raw Story
By Stephen C. Webster

The president’s car is virtually impenetrable to attack, but the Irish appear to have found a way to stop it: steep driveways.

As the Secret Service learned today, pulling Obama’s motorcade out of the U.S. embassy in Dublin is a thing easier said than done.

This video was published to YouTube by Irish publication rte on Monday, May 23, 2011.

4. Wow... embarrassing...
You'd sort of think that problem would have been "ironed out" before now.
