"Obama to Announce $8 Billion High-Speed Rail Plan After State of the Union Speech" Wednesday, January 27, 2010 By Julie Pace, Associated Press
SNIPPET: "Washington (AP) - A day after delivering a State of the Union address aimed at showing recession-weary Americans he understands their struggles, President Barack Obama intends to award $8 billion in stimulus funds to develop high-speed rail corridors and sell the program as a jobs creator.
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden plan to announce grants for 13 major corridors during a town hall meeting in Tampa, Fla., Thursday..."

Not this shit again.
Ha ha.
You got THAT right!
“Eight billion dollars? How much will the second mile cost?”
LOL. . .
The left wants a neo depression era train for hobos, you know , same as in the 1930s with hobos riding the rails, only this time they will be doing it at 150 mph?
Its de Obama Junta SOUL TWAIN!!!!
Ride it to your next janitorial job today!
De Obama SOUL TWAIN!!!!!
You get on and you can't get off!
I tried ti get off but Michelle wouldn't let me. Finally I met this short , hot Acorn girl. She got me off but I had to sign an affirmative action mortgage!
The SOUL TWAIN!!!!!!
Never has getting on been so much worse than getting off!
High speed won’t be able to run on the same rail as regular freight which means the land needs to be bought or stolen. There will be lawsuits for every inch and many small towns will need to be wiped off the map to make way for the train to Obamaville.

It’s so bad you could not rip up that track and replace it with track for high speed rail. Reason is many corridors have too many dips and curves for high speed trains to be safe. That’s what I heard is common in the North East at least
But the game plan is make work Demo-projects in 9 cities. Laying a few miles of rail tracks to nowhere
I heard Obama’s going to kill NASA.

Hey, it is only $400,000.00 per job!!
Wasn’t it Chris Matthews who said put people to work on a railroad? Railroads, socialists, Unions, all go hand in hand.

And was it the japanese who put American prisoners to work on their railroad during world war II?
More of Obama’s Europe is better than America so let’s follow their bankrupted policies.

Vice President Biden, Railroad Administrator,
Members of Congress Announce Funding for Amtrak in Recovery Act
One of our friends who travels all over the world said he loves the convenience of having a railroad or high speedrail so he doesn’t have to drive. Like when he goes to thebeer fests in Germany. Hee!
When it was brought up here in California, he said we are no where close to being ready for one. He said when people travel they want to arrive somewhere and everything convenient.Hotels, transportation, shopping, events. He said most of the speedrails proposed would leave them without those conveniences.
I thought aobut that. Think about all that would be taken over by eminent domain to make everything convenient, then have no one use them because Americans like their cars.
Sir Topham Hatt was very cross.
“Barack,” he boomed. “You have cause confusion and delay. Now put those tax dollars back where you found them.”
I would, but my calculator errors out on numbers that big. Too many zeroes.
Good grief. He comes up with some doozies. I’m sure his next great idea will be to stop dust storms in the desert.
I’m surprised he hasn’t found himself an Albert Speer. Maybe when he does, they can tear down Chicago and start again, just as Mein Fuerher planned to do with Linz.
I call it the Nebuchadnezzar syndrome.
Destroy the civilization around you, whilst engaging in a massive construction program. Keeps the psychopathy of the destroyer hidden.
Hey, Alexander The Great also suffered from epilepsy...and Nebuchadnezzar went totally mad, ended up on all fours eating grass like an animal.
Nebuchadnezzar rebuilt Babylon. Had his name stamped on every brick. And along came Saddam Hussein - who did the same.
‘I, SADDAM HUSSEIN REBUILT BABYLON’ on every brick.
THESE PEOPLE ARE INSANE! MILLIONS DIE. HISTORY REPEATING REPEATING ITSELF.
We don’t just need to see a birth certificate, the entire world deserves an PSYCHIATRIC REPORT!
And all those Jews get only a one way ticket to disappearance junction.
Why?Cause its the Oba-SOUL train. You dont have the Utopian Soul; , you can get on but you can't get off!
Well now that Obama has turned himself into the little engine that thought he could, we need to junk his fascist a$$.
And you may just get that report before we are through!
Its the SOUL train!!!!
Anything Goldman Sachs’ puppet states is lies. The problem is there remains a brainwashed segment of the population who still believes what the arch-conman from Kenya says.
It also happens to be a project Sen. Hairy Reid has favored.
Dingy Harry has been blasted as one congress critter who has failed to bring home the bacon.
Since The Seedy One is up for re-election, this seems to be a meatless bone The Obammunist is throwing him for campaign purposes.
It will go nowhere.
yitbos
I think the Reid bullet train should be about 200 grain in .45 caliber.
He is an evil, evil man.He has done horrible things to some people in Nevada, in the real estate business.. I have no idea how he has stayed in office.
I would, but my calculator errors out on numbers that big. Too many zeroes.
So, what are you going to do about it? Very little positive ever gets done.
