The Beast Caught On A Ramp During Irish Visit President Obama’s Cadillac Stuck Video
President Obama recently visited Ireland before flying over to England for a state visit. All was going swimmingly well until the Cadillac carrying him and his wife Michelle got stuck. Oops.
The Beast, as the presidential car is known, grounded itself on a ramp as it left the U.S. Embassy in Dublin.
I wouldn’t mind betting that the President and First Lady had a scary thought, even if just for a moment, that someone was attacking the car. After all, Ireland isn’t the safest country in the world.
The crowds who had gathered to see Obama at first thought it was funny. That was until a bus was pulled in front of the Beast to hide the embarrassing incident from the public. What a wasted day out.

US President Barack Obama’s visit to Ireland got a little bumpy on Monday, after his armoured limousine got stuck as it tried to leave the US embassy in Dublin. A large crowd had turned out in Ballsbridge to wave farewell to Obama as he made his way from the Irish capital to his ancestral home in County Offaly. But their cheers turned to gasps when the underbelly of the president’s black Cadillac – nicknamed “The Beast” – caught the slope of the embassy driveway – hitting it with a loud bang. With the limo unable to move either forward or backward, Obama and his wife Michelle remained in the vehicle while a Secret Service agent directed a grey coach to park in front of it – obscuring the view of the media and the crowd, and prompting a few boos. Obama and his wife then continued their journey in a second armoured limousine, while the rest of the motorcade left the embassy via a different exit.
