His "Yes We Can" campaign smacks of some Soviet railroad-building hysteria

Really? From now on, I support Obama...

...at least in the construction of the BAM...

Sadly, I haven't heard a transportations plan from him.  I think what they are saying is maybe, he's really good at firing up the people to be proud of a not-yet existent utopian future, a not-yet existent utopian future in which that railroad will be built.  Meanwhile, we can walk or pay a zillion dollars in gas to get to where we are going, visions of our beautiful new world to come one day taking our minds off the very real and current pain and sacrifice we experience today.

Sheesh.  At least they cranked out 5 year plans.  Is a, oh, first 6 months plan too much to ask of Barack?  What's worse, a bad plan or no plan at all?
