Top NATO summit topic: Obama’s eco-trashing limo

Well I guess it would be, if all of the other leaders are running around in Smart cars and such:

Obama is expected to discuss climate change and a common US-Europe approach to it when he takes part in a US-European Union (EU) summit after the NATO meeting on Saturday. But in the meantime, the Portuguese capital is being treated to a jarring dichotomy: the polluting "leader of the free world," on one hand, lumbering across town in the Beast with a phalanx of black Secret Service vehicles and Portuguese police motorcycles in tow; and the Europeans zipping around in smart electric vehicles, on the other.

Now I get all of the sanctimonious gasping and finger pointing, especially when there'll be a lot of deferential hot air expended trying to resuscitate the climate change connivance.  But really, take a look at Obama's ride and tell me what they could possibly be objecting to.

Big pimpin', spendin' cheese...

 Seriously though, I want the President of the United States to ride around in a Cadillac, I don't want to see him in some euro-trash micro-sedan.  Who do they think he is anyway, Sarkozy?  Although I suppose a fleet of Chevy Volts might have been more appropriate, I mean, considering what a great success story we keep getting told they are...Not.

Besides, imagine how many of these would be needed for a Secret Service detail.

And forget about legroom, I don't think there'd be enough room in this car for FLOTUS' arms  :)
