Thumbs up for President Obama's high-speed rail plan.

It's a right-wing talking point to dismiss Barack Obama's Presidency by comparing it to Jimmy Carter's one term in office.

But, among his lasting achievements (such as the Israel/Egypt peace talks), Carter (and his then-Transportation Secretary Brock Adams) managed to decrease support for the Amtrak rail system.

This is why Obama's support for high-speed rail as an alternative mode of transportation is a welcome change of approach: http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/04/18/obamas-rail-plan-speeds-ahead/
