I though for one second, is there an Albania, Texas or Albania, New Mexico, or Albania, Arizona? Of course not. This is for Albania, as in, well, Albania. Because that’s where our tax dollars should be spent. On border security for foreign country not even on our continent.
And this on the same day Obama announces he’s really concerned about a nuke going off in New York. Well, maybe it wasn’t concern. Maybe it was excitement. I can never tell with him. Not that New York could use $50G for terrorism prevention. Nah…
The State Department purchased two Mitsubishi pick-ups for $50,000 to be used by the border police in Albania.
The U.S. government has already bought six L200 Double Cab Mitsubishis for the Albanian Border Police (ABP), and said the two additional vehicles will “fulfill the ABP’s needs.”
“The vehicles will be provided to the Albanian Border Police (ABP) under a U.S. Government funded nonproliferation assistance program,” the contract said. “The ABP will deploy the vehicles to the Regional Border Police Directorates in Albania for patrolling, monitoring and controlling its land borders, and to interdict illicit trafficking across those borders.”
The two new Mitsubishis will be black, seat five, and have a 4-cylinder turbo-diesel engine. They will also have a 6-speed manual transmission, 16-inch steel rims, and “standard upholstery.” The cost is $50,284. All eight vehicles have cost the United States approximately $201,136.
The State Department gave specific instructions for the canopies on the back of the trucks. The minimum specifications included “reinforced glass fibre, and in black colour same like the pickup,” and “smoke coloured” side and rear windows.
Yes, Obama did say that he was concerned about a nuke going off in Manhattan. Unfortunately, the rest of the sentence was not reported; here it is:
“I am very concerned about a nuke going off in Manhattan… that is, unless Mooch and the girls and I are off somewhere like China, Africa or New Zealand. Then, do I care? Not so much…”
Who picked out that ugly-ass thing? Michelle?
If she did, you can bet the vehicle has hydraulic shocks for the bounce and booming subwoofers for the sound.
Wonder what the ambassador was caught doing to cost us two trucks? Could be a bargain.
Got no money to fix our border which is as porous as a screen door on a submarine, but for some other nation Sure. After all it’s not his money, it’s ours. Stinking slimball. 🙁
So we borrow money from China to buy cars from Japan to be given to Albania and leave the bill for our children. And anyone that sees a problem with this is a racist.
I agree, Maynard. And why didn’t Japan give ’em the trucks! Who is he paying back in Albania…campaign contribution perhaps?
And another example of where our money goes. Obama is in Brussels for one day for EU and Nato summits. The U.S. entourage includes 900 personnel, 45 cars, and 3 planes. Belgium must think that it got a break in that his visit will only cost it approx. 10 million dollars. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/24/barack-obama-visit-brussels-cost-belgium-10m
Again, keeping in mind the moronic bastard wants to bring us to our knees, all these bizarre things make sense. God help us. We must fight him with everything we’ve got.
Buying Mitsubishi and not Chevy trucks? Strange …

They are going all out to pass amnesty this year. Conservatives better not do nothing like the Doc Fix bill where ‘leadership’ outfoxed them. Or maybe that was an agreement.
