Cadillac One: The Car That Thinks Its A Tank. by Nobody: 10:55am On Jul 25, 2015
The United States president, Barrack Obama, arrived Kenya, his ancestral home not long ago amidst cheers and excitement from the Kenyans.

Obama, who is visiting for the first time since he became the president of US, was picked at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi in a bullet proof-glassed limousine popularly known as ‘The Beast’.

The limousine was flown in from the US. It has eight-inch thick steel plates, five-inch thick bulletproof glass, Kevlar-reinforced tyres, and a presidential blood bank in the boot.

Below is the photo analysis of the US president’s official car:

President's blood sample in the trunk? Whatever makes the president to need blood from that trunk must also be powerful to destroy that car.

Read in the news that Kenyatta's PA was chased for touching the car, was wondering, is it that they fly this car to any country the president visits

You seem to know much about this car, even to the extent of knowing they have four, but let me quickly say this. As at now the US government has just one Cadillac 1 also known as the 'beast'. The predecessor to this is the 2005 Cadillac DTS Presidential State Car used by President George W. Bush which is now sometimes used by the Obama administration as an alternative presidential limousine.
Before the administration of president Obama, there have been series of presidential cars and Limousine being used the past presidents. See link below for presidential car history for the White House.

Secrets of d secret service made me love the ride. It was aired by discovery channel and they went as far as detailing the individual cars and personnel in the presidential motorcade. The motorcade can evade and invade. A total of 8 vehicles or so as standard while local police provides dispatch riders. Ours here could fill a 2km road in the name of convoy.
