Were it not for Alan Mulally, Nancy Pelosi might be President of the United States right now
Ford Motor Company arranged a demonstration of their high tech hydrogen-electric hybrid car on the White House lawn for President Bush. The plan was for President Bush to plug in the car, photogs take pictures, everybody's happy. Well, the extension cord was placed by the rear of the car (where the hydrogen tank is) rather than on the side near the outlet. As President Bush approached the extension cord, Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford, had visions of splodey-plums dancing in his head and high-tailed it to physically ensure that President Bush did not put the plug into the hydrogen tank.
