It will be the armored cars and escorted the world during his official releases, but of course, the Cadillac used by the U.S. president Barack Obama is not the right vehicle for all occasions. Witness a video that comes straight from Dublin, where Obama is in these days for an official visit. As can be seen in the clip amateur supersicura Cadillac Presidential Limousine also has its "Achilles heel", the poor handling.
So small that it is enough to lock a simple ramp near a gate as you see them once in a while 'everywhere. Just a simple gate has challenged the presidential limousine, as he was crossing the threshold was literally stuck without being able to continue. They were moments of embarrassment that they put a little 'live security officers, who could not help but get off the vehicle and noted the impossibility to continue the journey (the presidential couple was forced to change cars).
In short, the safest car in the world has failed where there is also a city car from a few thousand euro would not fail, but this could perhaps be justified by the reduced height of the car, weighed down by significant structural reinforcement to the body and glazing, well as a range of accessories outside the standard of any car on the market.
Maybe the experience will serve as a lesson and next time instead of a limousine will be selected a Presidential SUV, which among other things would certainly be more in line with the image of a typical American motorist has always been traditionally attached to the vehicles high center of gravity, that in this case would have avoided this embarrassing figure during an official visit.
