Mr. Obama:
I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on your
recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an adequate
representative of the United States of America collectively or of me
personally.

You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that
you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United
States of America. You are responsible to the citizens of the United States
.. .You are not responsible to the peoples of any other country on earth.

I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the United
States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care about their
status in the world. Sir, what do you think the First World War and the
Second World War were all about if not the consideration of the peoples of
Europe ? Are you brain dead? What do you think the Marshall Plan was all
about? Do you not understand or know the history of the 20th century?

Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States does
not consider itself a Christian country? Have you not read the Declaration
of Independence or the Constitution of the United States ? This country was
founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country,
at least until you came along, come directly from this heritage. Do you not
understand this?

Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all Americans. Our
President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia
You didn't show Great Britain , our best and one of our oldest allies, the
respect they deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia .. How
dare you, sir! How dare you!

You can't find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation
because you don't want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a mosque
in Turkey ... You offended our dead and every veteran when you give the
Germans more respect than the people who saved the German people from
themselves. What's the matter with you? I am convinced that you and the
members of your administration have the historical and intellectual depth of
a mud puddle and should be ashamed of yourselves, all of you..

You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the American
automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real thieves in this
situation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie
Mae bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to do about
them? Anything? I seriously doubt it.

What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to
their staff members on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay raises that
lawmakers gave themselves? I understand the average House aide got a 17%
bonus. I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my employer. You haven't
said anything about that. Who authorized that? I surely didn't!

Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210 million in
bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that's $45 million more than the AIG
bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already been awarded
$51 million not a bad take. Who authorized that and why haven't you
expressed your outrage a t this group who are largely responsible for the
economic mess we have right now?

I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not
caring about what you idiots do. We are watching what you are doing and we
are getting increasingly fed up with all of you.

I also want you to know that I personally find just about everything you do
and say to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities. I promise you that
I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to spend two
terms destroying my beautiful country.

Sincerely,
Every real American

Well, seems to me NYC transit is wrestling with
one of the biggest budgetary crises of them all - see below.

The relative severity and manner of impact of the
financial crisis on the public sector varies
significantly from region to region and city to
city. The point is that the US transit industry
in general is being hit pretty hard - and I think
most of the major agencies (and probably many
smaller ones) are struggling. Ditto the impact on
state/local governments. California is perhaps
the worst hit (in part because of their absurd
political-legislative snafu with respect to
dealing with budget issues). The state of Texas
is heading toward a major budget crisis (mainly
because they've been "robbing Peter to pay Paul"
for years to give the appearance of solvency),
and local governments are struggling. And transit
agencies like Capital Metro are likewise
struggling, raising fares, cutting services, and
presenting rich targets for the anti-transit, pro-highway crowd.

The main, bottom-line point is: the economy
remains in crisis, this crisis is now starting to
smash into the public sector, transit agency
budget problems are just one aspect of this, and
rail transit critics are full of bovine defecation on this issue.

Transit Agency Approves Cuts, and More Bad News Looms

By MICHAEL M. GRYNBAUM


The Metropolitan Transportation Authority
formally approved on Wednesday a slate of severe
service cuts that will eliminate two subway lines
and dozens of bus routes in the city and create
longer, more-crowded trips for the region's transit riders.

The cuts, which will help close a budget gap of
about $400 million, will not be put into effect
until June, but discussions have already begun
about how the board will address an anticipated
budget deficit of nearly another $400 million.
And there is a growing, if reluctant, consensus
that higher fares and tolls will be necessary;
the only question is when and by how much.

A 7.5 percent fare increase is scheduled for next
year. Agency officials have calculated how much
revenue could be gained from various fare and
toll structures, according to people familiar
with the discussions. The topic has come up in
private conversations between Jay H. Walder, the
authority's chairman, and friends and colleagues.

And the question has arisen whether an even
bigger increase would be preferable to losing yet more service.

Mr. Walder has repeatedly said that he does not
want to raise fares this year, and people
familiar with his thinking say that he is determined to keep that pledge.

Asked on Wednesday if next year's increase might
be larger than 7.5 percent, Mr. Walder said only
that the authority would consider the specifics
of the next increase later this year.

"The first priority right now is on reducing our costs," he said.

With little possibility of a state bailout,
however, the authority's options are limited.

The cuts approved on Wednesday, which prompted a
widespread outcry from riders, will save the authority about $93 million.

The authority has cut administrative costs by 15
percent and laid off hundreds of station agents,
and Mr. Walder said on Wednesday that it was
renegotiating contracts with its suppliers and
trying to drive down labor costs.

The authority still plans to eliminate discounted
fares for students, which would save $214
million, but that proposal was not considered by
the board on Wednesday, adding to the sense that the worst was yet to come.

The authority's only path toward generating
significant revenue is a fare increase.

Longtime transit planners believe that an
increase of 10 to 12 percent - which would raise
the base fare to about $2.50 - might be necessary
to make up the gap. (Several have shared those thoughts with the chairman.)

"There's definitely going to be a fare increase;
now the question is will it be enough?" said
Allen Cappelli, a board member. "Probably not."

He noted that the prospect of a bigger increase
had not yet been discussed by the board.

With discounts for multiple-ride MetroCards, the
average fare paid by a subway rider was $1.47 in
January, far less than the $2.25 base fare and 8
cents higher than the average ride in 1996.

"Based on a comparison of New York City to other
major urban areas, there's clearly elasticity in
the fares," said Kathryn S. Wylde, chief
executive of the Partnership for New York City, a
business group that Mr. Walder meets with
regularly. "Fares could go up without losing ridership," she added.

The 7.5 percent fare increase approved for next
year was part of an attempt to create a regular
pattern of increases for the New York City system
that would roughly follow inflation, similar to a
system in London, where Mr. Walder worked previously.

There was a growing sense among officials on
Wednesday that straphangers would be facing more pain in the coming months.

At a news conference, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg
warned New Yorkers to "save your anger" for the
authority's next set of cuts. "This is just the
beginning," the mayor said. "The next round, I
would think, would be much worse."

Under the plan approved on Wednesday, the V and W
trains will be eliminated and the M line will no
longer run in Lower Manhattan and parts of
Brooklyn. Bus riders will lose 34 routes,
including 13 express ones. Several other bus
lines will be truncated or rerouted.

The Long Island Rail Road will reduce service on
several lines, and eliminate overnight service
between its Atlantic Avenue terminal and Jamaica.
Trains on the Port Washington line will run every
hour, instead of every 30 minutes, except during rush hours.

Metro-North Railroad will eliminate a handful of trains.

"The only thing I fear more than the vote I have
to cast today," John Banks, another board member,
said on Wednesday, "is the vote I'm going to be
asked to cast in the near future."
