Transportation Secretary: Without Obama 'No One Would Have Ever Predicted' Lexus Hybrids– Which Debuted in ‘04


Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has credited the Obama administration’s work on fuel standards for having "jump started" the development of Lexus hybrids, even though the company debuted its SUV hybrid in 2004.

While discussing vehicle fuel standards at the Aspen Ideas Festival on July 3rd, LaHood said, “I don’t think the car manufacturers would be manufacturing the cars they are manufacturing today as hybrids, if it weren’t for what the president did in signing the executive order and what Lisa (Jackson, EPA Administrator) and I have done over the last three and half years about developing C.A.F.E. (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards for automobiles and light trucks that will get 54.4 miles per gallon by 2025."

    This clown LaHood used to be a 'respected' republican...just another predator feeding on the entrails of the republic.
