"Cadillac One" apparently causing a stir at NATO summit

President Obama's "Cadillac One" has provoked bad press at the NATO summit in Lisbon this week. The "Beast" apparently is not eco-friendly enough for the europeans. I say FTW.

it's not about eco friendly, it's about security.

Oh please. How much are they going to care about "eco-friendliness" when bullets are penetrating their Priuses? Idiots.

they are criticizing the leader of the most powerful country in the world for being driven in a very safe armored vehicle?.... wait... it sounds like the only person close to complaining is the author. the portuguese seem to just be fascinated by the technology in the vehicle

I must say though, if I was president, I'd ask GM to design me one based off a CTS, not a DTS.

A CTS-V, to be exact.

And what have they done with their own private 747's and Airbuses? Afterall, you can't drive an electric car from Paris to DC ...

Yup... they're not complaining, they want a RIDE

OP was deceptive.... shame shame OP.

I would have an armored 18 wheeler built with a living area in the trailer, could called it, "Breaker breaker 1" ... and a 5th gen at the tail in case I had to flee

That almost sounds like a TV show heh

Whiners, complainers...

Those that don't have; always complain.
