President Obama mocked Mitt Romney on his fuel efficiency policy, saying “maybe the steam engine is more his speed.”
Come on, Mr. President, steam was good enough for the Intercontinental Railroad, right?

At least we know steam works Mr President Genius. Unlike Solyndra.
Carnot cycle efficiency – the highest possible for any thermodynamic system.
seanmahair, Mr. Obama doesn’t even know what that means!
Apparently Obama doesn’t realize that nuclear power plants are steam engines.
I don’t know what it means either but I don’t claim to be an expert or the smartest person ever born on the planet, unlike our fearfilled leader. I know there are folks like you out there who not only know what it is but how it works and will explain it to me should I need to know. One of Mr Romneys strengths is that he doesn’t feel he has to know everything. He just has to hire the people who do know and trust them to educate him on what he needs to know to get the job done.
When the trains in the US were pulled by steam engines, they ran both on time and faster than they do today.
Foolish people…don’t you know that the famed, legendary, Intercontinental Railway is powered by handcarts? Y’know, those two-person, up-and-down-pumped, flatbed things.
Our Leader is a big fan of handcarts because they’re eco-friendly and the two people propelling them look like they’re bowing to each other.
Oh, and those 96,000 net jobs created last month? That’s right, Handcart Operators, working for the Department of Transportation, with a GS-9 rating, every last one of ’em. I mean, the freight runs on the ol’ Intercontinental weren’t going to go from Tacoma to Beijing by themselves now were they?
In 1906, a Stanley Steamer automobile set the world land speed record of 127 mph. I know, I was there.
Obama’s fuel efficiency policy: Throw A LOT of money at companies which threw A LOT of money at my election campaign so that they can produce “fuel efficient” products which Americans won’t spend their money on because they aren’t worth even a LITTLE money. This infusion of government money, however, will then allow the companies to fuel my REELECTION campaign with A LOT of money….
Oh, did I mention that the Handcart Operators Union is a major campaign supporter of Obama?
Local 420 held a fundraiser where Obama christened a new handcart called “The Humbolt County Flyer”.
