Joe Biden Got To Check Out Amtrak's New Engine Today, So It Was Basically The Best Day Ever

[/font size=4]

You don't need to know much about Vice President Joe Biden to know about his love affair with Amtrak. As a longtime senator from Delaware, Biden would commute between Wilmington, Del., and Washington. By his estimation, that's 8,000 trips. Biden is basically Amtrak's no. 1 fan.

So you could only imagine how overjoyed Biden was when he got to unveil Amtrak's brand new locomotive, the Amtrak Cities Sprinter, at an event Thursday in Philadelphia.

Blazingly incompetent management, treated employees like dirt - I had friends working there.

6. Same thought here....

...GE or CAT couldn't produce the same locomotives? At least Siemens will be manufacturing them in the US.

7. A steering wheel isn't necessary if you can stay on track.

Reminds me of the elevator operator (showing my age again)
who got fired for forgetting the route.

4. Thank You, Joe.

It is not often I can find praise for our Party Leadership,
but this one is easy!
Joe Biden is one of the very few that is actually doing something to preserve our environment.
Kudos to the VP, for showing us the way!

9. That's a great quote, bvar22.

And very very true!
And I have to admit I have always loved Joe Biden. Call me foolish, but there it is.
