Obama: High-Speed Rail System Needed

Ahhhhhhh. Let's say it again. "High-speed rail." Pure poetry. I love taking the train. There is something peaceful about it. I know that sounds weird, but when you compare a train ride to a plane ride it really is night and day. The only issue is the amount of time the train takes (think Amtrak). Hopefully a faster train line across the U.S. will alleviate the time issue.
