Minnesota light rail train runs off tracks after Obama lauds it in visit

[Acebb]

Metaphor Alert:

A Minneapolis light rail test train derailed shortly after President Obama lauded the expansion of the system, the Pioneer Press of St. Paul, Minn., reports.
Obama touted the expansion of Minnesota’s Metro light rail system to St. Paul, which is scheduled to open in June, as an example for the nation to follow. Hours later, a train ran off the tracks.
“I just had a chance to take a look at some of those spiffy new trains,” Obama said Wednesday of the expansion of Minneapolis’ Metro light rail.
“They are nice and they’re energy efficient. They’re going to be reliable. You can get from one downtown to the other in a little over 30 minutes instead of when it’s snowing being in traffic for two hours."
...
The Press reported Friday that less than two hours after Obama made his remarks, a test train that was operating on the Minneapolis Metro Green Line ran off the rails in St. Paul.

Remember when this blathering idiot said the ObamaCare Web site was going to be the same as shopping for a TV on Amazon?

You can't make this shit up. Blame it on the teleprompter.

Yes the derailment was obviously Obama's fault.

Bring back the Chevy Volt and while we're at it, lets give Solyndra another loan.

Traffic so bad from all the new Immigrants they let over here that you better get on a train or sit in traffic...

How about another cash for clunkers.
