Video: When Obama travels by car, it is only rarely

The movements of the President of the United States Barack Obama rarely go unnoticed. It must be said that between bikers, ambulance and cars of all the people who constantly accompany the procession is quite impressive. Yesterday, he went to Seattle to meet the women who sustain the local economy.
And if we know Barack Obama very involved in reducing emissions of greenhouse gas emissions in his country, it is reasonable to wonder what happened to his great ideas by looking at such a procession of vehicles. Asked in April on this subject, the President explained that he could be transported in hybrid vehicle for safety reasons: "I asked if we could make these cars into hybrid version. The Secret Service said no. The reason this is not because they are wicked. That's because the cars in which I move are like tanks. " Thus, once the shield and other security systems installed, the presidential car, nicknamed "the Beast" is up to two times heavier than its conventional counterpart; impossible for a hybrid engine to ensure a satisfactory acceleration in these conditions.
