Maybe it has to do with the low quality gasoline over there. Or maybe to filled it up with diesel, lol.

Look at all the Italians laughing... This is not one of the proudest moments of G. W. Bush, if he's ever had one.

LOL! That's pretty embarrassing, but that stuff happens. What I found cool about that is that as soon as the SS was notified that there was a problem, the invisible machine went into action and before they knew it, they were on their way again.

Don't you all wish you were able to drive around with a back up car just incase something happens? LOL!

I think they were laughing more at the situation than what he was riding in. Pretty embarrassing moment for sure.
I think I saw G.W. murmur, “Damn Autozone alternators!”

Let see Airforce One can be refueled in flight yet the Caddy has no mechanic to fix it if this happens in the middle of Italy what a disgrace!

That is what I was thinking. GM or Ford needs to step up and build cars that are truly the standard they claim to be, to represent America. Its sad no other country really likes our cars or SUVs (covette might be the only one, maybe viper/mustang) but Germany, Italy, England, Japan, etc all have highly desirable cars no matter where you are from.
