How.........why........you would have such a blind admiration for the Bush administration is very strange indeed. <br /> <br />Gunn was fired because he spoke against the administration's lack of positive action of Amtrak and he wanted to fix it. Plain and simple, those morons on the board wouldn't know how to run a railroad if their lives depended on it. If I'm not mistaken, the best way to do something is be honest which is what Jesse Ventura did-when asked about his platform he said he didn't know what should be done but he would hire folk who knew what they were doing-brilliant. Sounds like Bush needs to learn from Ventura. <br />[/quote]Gunn, did nothing, and got fired. We got Gunn because he was supposed to know how to run a railroad, but he didn't do anything to fix the problems. If you listen what he was trying to stop, was to the destruction of Amtrak, but a reform to a flawed system. As Mineta said we shouldn't keep pumping money into a flawed system; but Gunn wouldn’t allow it to be changed. In the interview Gunn blames Bush for his firing. If Gunn is so great, what did he do that was saving Amtrak? Gunn clearly put it out in the interview money should just be kept being pumped into Amtrak, with no major changes. He must be very conceited to believe that he can make it work, when it hasn’t worked in about 30 years. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br /><font size="2">M I S S O U R I</font id="size2"> <br /> <br /> How ya doin? <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
