Obama Proposes High-Speed Rail System For the US

Posted by timothy on from the self-mucking-biodiesel-ponies dept.

fantomas writes "The BBC reports that 'US President Barack Obama has announced his "vision for high-speed rail" in the country, which would create jobs, ease congestion and save energy.' Can rail work in the land where the car is king? Would you travel on the new high speed lines?"

    Ah, yes. A rail project. Beloved by pork-barrellers at the local level for decades, now brought to the national stage.

    Sorry to break it to any Obama fans here, but you clowns elected an empty suit.

      Yeah, watching you guys freak the fuck out so soon after becoming irrelevant has been a wonder to behold.

      I'm glad you know where your priorities are in life and those around you.

      Thank you for fucking America just so you could get your rocks off.
