President Obama Enroute to Wilkes County, NC via Bus - Where's Junior Johnson?

As I post this, President Obama is enroute from a Marion, NC BBQ joint by his black armored bus to West Wilkes High School in the Wilkes County locale of Millers Creek, NC for a 4:50 pm "Jobs" speech.

President Obama climbs aboard his bus after meeting diners at the Countryside Barbecue restaurant in Marion, North Carolina, on Monday. Obama began a three day bus trip to North Carolina and Virginia on Monday to promote his American Jobs Act that faces congressional approval.

The official White House agenda does not mention Junior Johnson, but this is the same Wilkes County, NC high school that the late President Gerald Ford visited in 1976. I believe that was about the time that he had so much trouble stumbling.

I'm sure you can catch the scheduled 4:50 pm speech today on CNN or C-Span. If you catch a glimpse of Junior in the crowd you might listen closely to see if the President's speech is slurred, if he seems inordinately peppy or if he stumbles taking the podium.

One newsreporter said "President Obama was riding a $$$One Million Dollars tour bus for a 3-day tour for Repubican votes".

Black armored bus leased for 3-day tour = $$$One Million Dollars???

Black armored bus with white # 3 Goodwrench decals = Earnhardt Nation Election Votes???

What ever happened to the good old Red,White, and Blue- America Patriotic painted Greyhound buses ???
