One of the limousines in Barack Obama (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/barack-obama)'s fleet has broken after reports that it was mistakenly filled with the wrong fuel at the start of the US president's visit to Israel (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/israel).
Another limo is on its way from Jordan (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/jordan), according to Ma'an News agency, citing Israel's Channel 10, to replace one that was filled with diesel instead of gasolene.


The world has stopped laughing behind our backs and is now doing it to our faces.

I'm sure it was President Bush's fault.

I only wish it had been gasoline in a diesel engine.

Turns out it was...

In an incident symbolic of America's decline, President Obama's limo — nicknamed the Beast because of its supposed indestructibility — broke down in Jerusalem earlier today after some very smart person (an American, according to an Israeli news station) mistakenly filled it up with regular gasoline instead of diesel. (Many reports have this reversed, but the Beast runs on diesel, so filling it with diesel would, you know, not be an issue.) Luckily, Obama wasn't in the vehicle at the time, and a backup was brought in from Jordan, so it wasn't really a big deal. But it's not great that we're getting used to this sort of thing.

An this guy claim to be the leader of the free world. He and his staff must be proud. I bet they are especially happpy about the job they did in chicago. I am guess that if Obama drove his limo in Chicago that someone would steal it at first chance.

Someone's going to have to explain the significance.

6 people in the thread found this incident to be representative of something or part of a larger theme... or ... something.


From what I got, someone put the wrong fuel in a car so, obviously, it wouldn't start. Which is what happens ... when you... put.... the wrong fuel.....????

Then a new car was arranged.

Did I miss something?

Why would anybody laugh at that?

I always have to double check when fueling up in Europe. It is easy to just jump for diesel fuel.

Oh I see. Guardian article making those snide comments.

Actually.. if that photo caption is from the Guardian that's shameful on their part. They're one of the last standing outposts of integrity in the world's media. I don't want to see them turn to trash.

Pretty much.

Reminds me of English classes that try to overinterpret every word and statement into some major idea and/or symbolism related to religion or politics or emotions...

Think of the poor guy who filled the car. Probably never even knew there was different kinds. Used gas his whole life.

And now he's singlehandedly responsible for the destruction of a head of state, a global recession, two wars, drone strikes on kids and Seth McFarlane's Oscar perfromance.

These security guys shoulder a heavy responsibility.

The gas stations in Europe are confusing, and I don't think that they have different nozzles (like the US) so you can pump the wrong gas into your tank.

The nozzle color coding in Mexico is different too, green is diesel there but black is diesel here and green is regular gas.
