REDMOND, VA - As budgets tightened, government officials' vehicles were scrutinized. Officials gave up gas-guzzlers, agencies bought alt-fuel cars, and take-home vehicles were and continued to be slashed. However, the personal vehicles of political figures also make a statement, and the safest vehicles tend to be domestic and fuel-efficient.

  • Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Chris Dodd, and President Obama: Ford Escape Hybrid
