[QUOTE]Originally posted by amtraxmaniac: [QB] Mike-a matter of opinion. We can discuss whether or not Obama's policies will lead to armageddon somewhere else. I've been accused of being over political myself, but I try hard to relate it DIRECTLY to how it affects Amtrak. So, Mike, HOW DO YOU FEEL AMTRAK WILL FARE UNDER OBAMA? We know this much (thanks Mr Toy and TwinStar). Obama's home state is the hub fro Amtrak. Not just that, its the hub for the majority of LD trains. We also know that Obama has mentioned Amtrak in his actual campaign documents. That being said, I think we can assume that Obama supports Amtrak. THAT DOES NOT mean he will make it a priority. My money is on Obama to sign any bill that comes his way that involves funding for Amtrak. Amtrak will not be an agenda item, however if a bill reaches his desk, I trust he will sign it. I don't believe there is anyone in here that honestly believes he will make Amtrak a priority. More likely than not, it will be part of an omnibus bill, as it has been in the past. My bet is, at worse, service levels remain the same. At best we may see moderate improvements, but few to no expansions of service. [/QB][/QUOTE]
