Well, Obama has been to the UK on an official state visit (I will pass comment on that later. Dont have time now. Got to get ready for work!) and he did meet London's Mayor, Boris Johnson, and Johnson did raise the issue of the US Embassy's non-payment of the congestion charge.
Also, because roads where not closed for him like they where for when the Pope visited (closed roads allow spectators to stand on the road and gaze at the Pope as he drives by slowly. Obama didnt do anything like that). Even though Obama's motorcade was huge, it was all part of the normal flow of traffic.
Therefore, the Beast got hit with a £10 congestion charge. And if he does not pay, it means that the next time The Beast turns up, it can be impounded!
I know it is a tough nut to crack, run flat tyres, bullet proof glass, etc, but if London wanted to impound it, dont need to look further than Ireland for advice on stopping the thing...
