Speaking up re. nuclear power

Republicans ought to be embracing Obama as one of their own, because he champions their causes and is eager to do their bidding.  But he's half black, which makes him anathema to most Republicans, so that will never happen.  I am sorry to say I have no faith at all left in him.  Either he is a bought puppet, like Clinton, of those who really rule us (my strong suspicion) or he has been threatened with a Kennedy solution by those who could pull this off very easily.  Below is one of his 'wise' comments from the past.  I wonder if he thinks the same way now.  He probably does, because his administration just OK'd more off-shore drilling for oil in Alaska, with seemingly no remembrance at all of the Gulf Oil disaster (see: http://www.theolympian.com/2010/12/02/1573409/obama-administration-oks-review.html )

From Keith Olbermann:
EXCERPT: [Here's an] unfortunate quote from the President from October, 2009, that was not disavowed Monday by the new Press Secretary:

“There’s no reason why, technologically, we can’t employ nuclear energy in a safe and effective way. Japan does it and France does it, and it doesn’t have greenhouse gas emissions, so it would be stupid for us not to do that in a much more effective way.”

Stupid. Maybe President Obama would like to circle that word and rethink its meaning. It would be stupid to keep pushing nuclear power at the exact hour that the “safe and effective way” in Japan is proving to be "that slight increase in radiation in Tokyo is nothing to worry about. But if you’re within 20 miles of the plant please stay indoors because we don’t know if the thing is going to meltdown, blow up, shoot nuclear rods into the sky or into the ground water, or what. Have a nice day.”
