[Mr. K]

The speed at which they moved to politicize this reminds me of the Shakespeare line “Methinks the lady doth protest too much”

A gay engineer promoted above his competence causes a major screw-up and they rush to his defense.

[Servant of the Cross]

Good for Mark ... this is beyond the pale. Completely shameful.

So ... where's Mitch & The Weeper of the House?

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

What do they need, an extra engineer on board to drive the train properly while the other guy is doing something immoral? What do we need here, double staffing with one irresponsible Democrat along with a responsible atheist to keep things going?

[Biggirl]

PINGING this one for Mark Levin and those who listen to him or post/lurk on his thread.

[Ouderkirk]

We have spent nearly 1+ TRILLION dollars on infrastructure improvments/repairs since Obastard became pResident.

What to we have to show for it !!

I want to see what the money was spent on !!!

[SMARTY]

It's all going to all boil down to ANOTHER HR failure.

The government has put tooooooo much pressure and regulation on how companies hire so that we NOW have people in positions for which they are TOTALLY unfit.

Where public safety is concerned none but the MOST rigid standards OUGHT to be in place, and they are NOT.

[Blood of Tyrants]

There is no problem that exists that liberals don’t think more money will not solve.

[TexasRepublic]

Lack of infrastructure has nothing to do with a train going 106 miles per hour. Odd, the engineer doesn’t remember anything. Hmmmmm.....

I wonder how long before the truth comes out?

History: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. It serves an unprecedented effort to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century. The Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression, and includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief and protect those in greatest need. Vision for High-Speed Rail

Additionally, ARRA funding is being used to help achieve President Obama's vision for developing high-speed intercity passenger rail in America. Through ARRA, Congress made $8 billion available to help transform America’s transportation system through the creation of a national network of high-speed rail corridors.

Then there is Obama's (Solyndra Scandal)

(The Big Fail - Top 5 Failed Obama Policies)

Obama had the money and the votes to fix our Amtrak infrastructure...but lamented the 'shovel ready jobs....' weren't....did he assume those SRjobs were just digging ditches? Cash For Clunkers anyone????

[Spartan79]

You can’t be surprised when dems politicize disasters - it’s just what they do. I recall that when the I-35 bridge over the Mississippi in Minneapolis collapsed some years back, dropping half or dozen folks to their deaths in the water below, the last vehicle had not even splashed when the Democat Farmer Labor party (that’s what dems call themselves in Minnesota) started blaming Republicans for failing to provide enough funding to maintain bridges.

[1Old Pro]

Are the libs celebrating the diversity of the engineer?

[Vaduz]

Funny thing about democrats the never know how stupid they sound.

[Moonman62]

within hours of the accident, the media, the Democrats, the liberals … in front of the microphones … all of a sudden it’s a spending issue. It’s a spending issue!”

...

Kleptocrats never let a crisis go to waste.
