Who's driving what?
I believe that everyone has a right to purchase whatever kind of car they want if they are able to pay for it accordingly. However, President Obama may not want to take a look in the White House staff parking lot if buying American is his main priority. I can understand how many of the more environmentally conscious members of the administration would want to buy Hondas or Toyotas and if they feel that is best for them then I do not see any problem with that. However, President Obama is taking a new stance to go tough on the industry and so leading by example is one way to achieve the goals he hopes to see accomplished within by summer. One of the more interesting automobile choices comes from Ed Montgomery who rides in on his Harley Davidson each morning. Just surveying the parking lot would give the impression of the diverse car market available to citizens and with a collection of luxury and foreign cars making their way to the White House each morning we can see how our American car industry has failed to meet with the advances made by its competitors.

It doesn't matter whether Obama's car is environmentally friendly or not - he has a gas guzzling motorcade that would negate any benefits from an environmentally friendly purchase. So, he might as well show support for an American car company.
