Friday President Bush met with spokespeople brandishing two shiny examples of how new automobile technology will help meets the President's goal of reducing America's gasoline demand by 20% over the next 10 years.
What were the examples of shining technology rushing to America's aid?
Why a Toyota Prius with upgraded Canadian battery pack (in Mass. at least) and a converted South Korean truck (converted by a Californian company) of course. When asked if the President would consider purchasing either vehicle for his ranch the President politely excused himself.
Perhaps the reception would have been a little warmer if some domestic products had been available, they were too busy making SUVs that roll over and catch on fire when going over 10 miles an hour.
