You're Losing Me, Barak, One Bone At a Time.

Today our first African-American, duly elected president, coalition-building genius that he was, declared his whole-hearted support for nuclear power, and the whole sinister machine that fuels it. The passing reference in his first State of the Union address of the necessity for our nation to pursue "safe nuclear energy" was a shot across the bow, and now he’s opened up the howitzers and started blasting away at the very vessel that carried him to his inauguration. He dedicated 8.5 billion of our tax dollars in the form of “loan guarantees” for the nuclear power profiteers in the energy monopolies.

I don’t know if it’s an effort to appease the same powers who hold all the cards with the Piggy Banks, the auto industry, Big Insurance, Big Drugs, and Big Oil, or the Republicrats in Congress, but his efforts to achieve “reform” and accomplish “change” are about as effective as his half-hearted advocacy of “openness,” which have feebly resulted in him seeking the same shelter of executive privilege endlessly enjoyed by his predecessor. --(to be continued, this is going somewhere, I promise)
