Presidential limousine, security vehicles exempt from fed 'green' vehicle policy

MY reason for having an exemption is MORE IMPORTANT than YOURS !!!!!

The arrogance of this hypocritical, elitist, imperialist is overwhelming.  What is good for you is not good enough for me !!!!

"I'm directing our departments and our agencies to make sure 100 percent of the vehicles they buy are fuel-efficient or clean energy cars and trucks by 2015.Not 50 percent, not 75 percent — 100 percent of our vehicles," Obama said today.

Secret Service spokesman Robert Novy said the directive wouldn't apply to vehicles used for some law enforcement or security reasons by various federal agencies.

This isn't the first time law enforcement has been exempted from a vehicle policy by the Obama administration.

Obama signed an October 2009 executive order banning texting behind the wheel by all federal employees. But he said agency heads may exempt "certain employees, devices, or vehicles in their respective agencies that are engaged in or used for protective, law enforcement, or national security responsibilities or on the basis of other emergency conditions."
