Obama clueless on transit funding

But neither LaHood nor Obama bothered to explain why, exactly, there should be any such spending shift with money that comes largely from automobile drivers. The administration has instead been deploying gauzy buzzwords like “livability” — declaring that driving is bad, while transit, walking and biking are good.
In urban areas, that’s the right message. Everywhere else, driving is known as “the only way to get to work or to the grocery store.”
