THE might of the US military has arrived in Canberra ahead of President Barack Obama’s visit to the national capital on Wednesday.

A C-17 Globemaster which is believed to have on board the President’s Cadillac limousine, dubbed the Obamamobile, touched down on Saturday.

The car travels the world with the President and can reportedly repel any kind of attack, including one using chemical weapons. A US Marine Corps Black Hawk helicopter was patrolling over the nation’s capital yesterday and US officials have been in Canberra for days planning the trip.
