CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A guy who flew all the way from Cleveland to quiz President Obama today wanted to know why the self-described green president doesn’t have a hybrid. “The limo that you drive … electric sometime soon?” he asked to applause.

“I’m going to be honest with you,” Obama replied. “When I first got Secret Service protection, I asked, ‘Can we make these cars hybrid?’ ” he said. “I apologize, but the Secret Service said no. … The cars that I’m in are like tanks … so they weigh two or three times what an ordinary car weighs, so they just couldn’t get the performance or acceleration” if they were a hybrid.

    ok then…lets do away with your secret service protection. If you’re “The One”…you don’t need them anyway.

    Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI thought they were safe too and look what happened there :cool:

    What ob said is a lie.
    There are farm tractors that run on methane. The tractors themselves are heavy, plus they pull heavy loads.
    As for acceleration go to a tractor pull contest and see what a souped up tractor can do.

    Hey, why would you need a tank?

    Everybody loves you.

    Go green.

    Get in a hybrid tin can, so the public can love you.

    um, Lexus LS has a hybrid system with a V8 – it can go faster than the same car without hybrid option, and burns less gas at that.

    When Bush lobbied for fuel cell cars, America laughed at him. Now when Obama does a similar thing America adores him.
