“The word in Washington is that the administration believes it has enough on its plate with health care, climate change, and other daunting issues, and that it doesn’t have an appetite at this point for a knock-down, drag-out battle over long-term transportation funding.”

– Finance and Commerce newspaper on the fight between President Obama and Congressman Oberstar regarding the timing of the Transportation spending authorization bill.

Dear President Obama,

You cannot address climate change without addressing transportation.

Hugs and kisses,
