Seems like increasing the average mpg and reducing CO2 emissions for car manufacturers isn’t the only thing US President Barack Obama is occupied with when it comes to automobiles. The president is also worried about the car that his oldest daughter, Malia, will drive once she gets her license.
“I am hoping to see one of those models that gets a top speed of 15 miles per hour and the ejector seat any time boys are in the car” Obama joked while speaking to auto industry leaders last Friday about the new fuel efficiency targets for 2025. “So hopefully you guys have some of those in the pipeline” he added.
Presidents or not, dads all over the world are the same. They can be overprotective, especially when it concerns their daughters. Malia is still 13 years old, so she has three years ahead of her before she gets her driving license. Nevertheless, perhaps her father is right to worry, as teen girls tend to speed more than boys.
