Parma, Ohio: July 5, 2012.President Barack Obama disembarks from his armored bus during a re-election campaign event at James Day Park. The president visited this city during a one-and-a-half day campaign bus tour in Ohio. The bus was purchased by the Secret Service for just under $1.1 million dollars. Hemphill Brothers Coach Company of Whites Creek, Tennessee built the bus. A spokesman for the Secret Service said the bus (one of two purchased by the agency) won't display campaign logos because they are government vehicles. The only visible marking is the presidential seal near the door. The interior reportedly includes a couch and captainÕs chairs. The color of the bus is black. Windows are tinted. It's nicknamed 'the beast.' Chris Fitzgerald / CandidatePhotos.
