Low and moderate income people in the city have ALWAYS been big supporters of public transportation. We're not the problem. The real problem is the affordability of public transportation these days. The NYC MTA is drowning and cutting programs and services. Come on, people. And what's with all the acronyms? Seriously, make this more accessible!

REALITY CHECK!!! Most Americans love their SUVs, vans, and 4x4 trucks. When you talk about car pooling and mass transit, I fell on the floor laughing! The *MOST EFFECTIVE* way to keep Americans off the gas pedal is to simply raise the cost of gasoline. Gas should be at least $4.00 a gallon. If not more. The Federal government needs to put a Federal tax per gallon of gasoline to help offset the huge deficits, which China now owns our economy.

Even though Hispanics are fast becoming the majority race in this country, many of them don't vote (probably because millions are illegal). If the Democrats had any lick of common sense, Obama would not be pushing "immigration reform" (legalizing illegal aliens) until AFTER November. But-ohh no--he has to push it now and piss everybody off. Oh well, Sarah Palin will be President 2012. Now that will be a hoot! A bimbo leading a nation full of numb-nuts. HA! Funny!

The Republicans are going to dominate the House and Senate this coming November because the Obama administration wants to legalize ILLEGAL ALIENS which are here--illegally. Other States like Florida is proposing legislation same as Arizona. Since Democrats are too stupid to realize most Americans do not want illegals here, they deserve to lose the House & Senate this November. If Massachusetts election of a REPUBLICAN Senator doesn't teach you all a lesson, nothing will. LOSE IN NOVEMBER.

Ever heard of car sharing? 

[groundhog2008]

I would like to offer a suggestion. Why not allow vouchers for poor, and minority users of mass transit systems, so they can ride free!! The loss of revenue can be recouped by making working mass transit users pay extra fees, and raise their taxes to help pay for the system!!

[groundhog2008]

You all should be proud!!!! Focusing on the poor, and minority population for the first time in American history!!!!

You should really also identify which dman room in the WH you're in. We don't see these rooms every day and they're not on tour, so a little information would be helpful.

Which room in the WH is this, does anyone know?
