High speed rail coming here?

President Obama outlined his plan yesterday on how to spend $8 billion in stimulus money for a much needed high-speed rail in this country. And the way I see it, we're in the picture although the plan, as it appears to be conceived right now, will not include high-speed rail from Dallas to Houston. There's a route that begins in Tulsa and goes to Oklahoma City, Dallas, Austin and ends in San Antonio. Then another that appears to begin in Dallas and goes to Little Rock with a stop in Texarkana. But, hey, at least it's a start.
