As for more public transit funding, I still haven't heard any plan from Obama, and until I do, It'll still be empty words, promises without a plan, lipservice, etc. Points to Obama for opposing the gas tax holiday, true kudos to President Bush for being in a position to veto it, and opposing it, the final word on the subject.

I mean, who knows whether they will be implemented well, or at all, but I think the spirit is in the right place, and at least he's talking about it instead of pulling the same old clinton-mccain pandering.

He might not have a plan. but at least he's talking about it, which is more than I can say about the other two suits.
