Obama: Hey, how about an unsafe-yet-on time national railway?

B.O. yesterday on his utopian vision for national mass transit via the railways:

What we need, then, is a smart transportation system equal to the needs of the 21st century. A system that reduces travel times and increases mobility. A system that reduces congestion and boosts productivity. A system that reduces destructive emissions and creates jobs.

What we’re talking about is a vision for high-speed rail in America. Imagine boarding a train in the center of a city. No racing to an airport and across a terminal, no delays, no sitting on the tarmac, no lost luggage, no taking off your shoes.

Geez, where to start?  How about here?  “Imagine boarding a train in the center of a city. No racing to an airport and across a terminal, no delays…”

Does it not stand to reason that “racing to an airport” will merely be replaced by “racing to the train station”?  I mean, you still have to get there, right?  And just as you have to “race across a terminal” at the airport, do you not have to race across the railway’s terminal (or whatever its equivalent is)?  Plus, what kind of naive jackass honestly believes that there won’t be any delays with a rail system?  Every system of mass transit has some delays, because delays are unforeseen…well, unless he’s using His divine insight sent down from On High to see these things.  My bad, I almost forgot we were talking about the Obamessiah here.

This one’s a hoot:  “no taking off your shoes “!

Friggin’ brilliant, Big O.  So we’re not going to have any railway security measures to prevent future Richard Reids from blowing up our trains, huh?  I guess that only makes sense, since, after all, there haven’t ever been any terrorist attacks on major rail systems anywhere in the world.  Oh, wait…

Yes, sir, we’re in good hands, my friends.  For those of you on the left, the prior sentence was sarcasm.
