Obama ♥'s SUPERTRAINS!

by Armadillo Joe

Saw this on Olbermann last night, but can't find the video. From the White House transcript of Obama's town hall in the Rhenus Sports Arena in Strasbourg, France:

as an American who is proud as anybody of my country, I am always jealous about European trains. And I said to myself, why can't we have -- (applause) -- why can't we have high-speech rail?
I ask myself that every single day, Mr. President.

Now that's got to be satisfactory. Doesn't mean we'll get them, but at least the president wants them. It's a lot better than the other way around.

That's why there is that 800 Billion in the Recovery package for those magic trains from Disneyland to Vegas....lol

Well duh, everyone knows High Speech Rail is a pipe dream. Our rail system is monosyllabic at best.
