Obama
April 1st, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com) The White House confirmed today that President Barack Obama has canceled a planned May visit to Costa Rica due to concerns over the number and depth of the country’s thousands of potholes.
The statement also mentioned concerns that the numerous Bailey bridges used throughout the country may not be able to support the weight of the presidential limousine and motorcade, which is heavily armored.
“The potholes could become a real security issue, as the motorcade would be forced to swerve all over the road,” a Secret Service agent said on the condition of anonymity.
“In addition, holes large enough to swallow the presidential limousine have opened up on major highways there in the past. It is a risk we simply cannot afford to take,” the agent continued.
