Train trip

This would be a great time to make a major announcement about building a national real High Speed passanger train network like the TGV in France. Similar to Eisenhower and the interstate highway system.

train trip questions

I and many other supporters over 65 would be delighted to be at the Baltimore stop or just to stand near the track to wave our support to the next President and his VP.as we may not be up to the DC trip. Where do we get information about this?

WHAT A THRILL!!!

I cannot wait for this train trip.....I heard about it tonight by accident on WHYY 12 out of Philadelphia.....I LOVE public TV and was thrilled to hear about this decision and this train ride.

They will be safe, they will be welcomed by many along the way....it promotes a great message (save gas) and it is just inspiring..... HAPPY NEW YEAR TO US ALL!!!!

Change is on the way!

Nothing tiresome about Obama! They are exciting and have inspired hope in so many of us. Change is on the way and the direction he is headed is positive!! What a thrill it is to listen to his very intelligent answers to questions -- so verbal.

As for the security risk --- it's part of the job as we just saw with Bush in Iraq. I was actually surprised that the second shoe was thrown at Bush -- where was the Secret Service? That was a little unsettling.

I think that many of us are worried about our great President-elects safety but I have confidence in him that he will stay safe.

The Train Ride

Good Grief!

I hope we shall not have an administration given to showmanship to demonstrate transparency and openness. That will get old fast and become tiresome.

I agree it is a nightmare of a security risk!

Security nightmare is right!

I was thinking the same thing as LincolnX, this doesnt sound like a very good idea. There is a reason that presidential convoys have "doubles" (cars that look just like the Presidents), and take varied routes. I cant imagine what bonehead security advisor agreed to let both the President AND the Vice President take the same train, and the same time, on a public track.

Oprah on the Train Ride?

Bring Oprah. Then we all get a train ride and make even more history, more joy. Everybody gets a train ride!!!!

Christians

Something curious about these men, at least they are proud to be Christians, with absolute moral standards: Absolute honesty, absolute purity, absolute unselfishness and absolute love, in the tradition of the Demorcatic party.
