Comments on Obama's Limo

Obama's Presidential Limo

When Obama showed up for the NATO summit hosted by the Portuguese, comments have been made about his limo.

These comments highlighted by Yahoo! News.  The hosts were offended by the diesel powered beast of a car while just about everyone else was using an electric, zero-emissions cars to get to their meetings.

This seems to be a comment from an environmental air-head.  Those people who made and support those comments definitely don't have people hunting for them.  Obama does.  There are psychopaths that would threaten to do such a thing.  Having this armored tank disguised as a limo for the President of the United States makes sure that they wont get a chance.

Now if you think that a electric powered car could do the same, you are wrong.  With the current technology, just the batteries of these cars add nearly tons to the total.  If you add all of the same features on to of that, the armor, the bullet proof glass, the tires that can run while flat, the performance of this limo will decline significantly.  It will be the slowest thing on the road.  In an emergency, it needs to be fast and maneuverable.    Being diesel, it can be.

If this is used as political propaganda against the Obama in the form of not being environmentally sound, they are clueless about the current technologies available and the safety of the President.
