"Why Are We Playing Russian Roulette With the American People?": Longtime Nuclear Critic Ralph Nader Advocates Phasing Out Nuclear Power Industry

"Why Are We Playing Russian Roulette With the American People?": Longtime Nuclear Critic Ralph Nader Advocates Phasing Out Nuclear Power Industry

Why is President Obama saying "we" are committed to a nuclear renaissance? There should be no royal "we" in the USA. It appears that President Obama has sold his soul for nuclear industry money.

We the people deserve a national moratorium on nuclear energy while we discuss what is "our" best course forward for achieving our energy needs is a safe, sustainable, manner.

Why are we setting up a scenario where private investors will only invest IF the taxpayers are on the hook for the costs? This corporate welfare needs to stop. If another nuclear plant won't be built unless the taxpayer is on the hook then it should NOT be built! No more corporate welfare for this nuclear industry that has never been able to exit in 60 years unless it's feeding at the public trough!

OBAMA SELLS OUT OUR INTERNET

Another reason why I will NOT vote for an Obama second term....He's eliminating Net Neutrality and allowing the corporations to take over our internet on cell phones.

Afghanistan War is Insane policy

We are in an economic crisis. We can not afford 2 billion dollars a week for what??

Deja Vu Obama

Here we go again...looks like the tax cuts will see Obama do the same thing as he did with Health care...just give it away.

Is Obama 1)not learning from his past mistakes, 2) demonstrating symptoms of the Stockholm Syndrome, 3) or simply selling us out to corporate interests?

Is there another option?

Call out the FCC and the Obama White House

It's time to stop the blatant criminal activity of corporations. Why do we go to jail for victimless crimes and corporations get to lie, cheat and steal with no consequences? Part of the promised change was to revoke the get out of jail free card for the elites.

Read this then call the White House at (202) 451-1111. Call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322). IF you're really industrious email the White House http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact and let them know that we were promised that the rule of law and justice was to be restored...so where's the proof of this long awaited change?

You can email the FCC folks and ask them to do their jobs and let them know we are watching. The Chairman Julius Genachowske has not acted on net neutrality...maybe he should resign...

If we don't act in our own self interest who will?

Chairman Julius Genachowski: Julius.Genachowski@fcc.gov
Commissioner Michael J. Copps: Michael.Copps@fcc.gov
Commissioner Robert McDowell: Robert.McDowell@fcc.gov
Commissioner Mignon Clyburn: Mignon.Clyburn@fcc.gov
Commissioner Meredith Attwell Baker: Meredith.Baker@fcc.gov

Will Obama and the Dems LISTEN to SEC

The Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is actually asking Congress to repeal DADT NOW....befrore the rethuglicans retake Congress. The question is....do the Democrats have the spine to do anything?

US Justice System is for the Rich!!

Obama is continuing the Bush legacy of justice for the wealthy and screw everyone else. What a crying shame.

Obama White House Throws Transparency Overboard

Good by transparency hello cover up. This is criminal, fascist or both!

How's the science going to be funded?

Blame Wall Street Corporate Liberals

"As it increasingly appears that Obama is the President of Wall Street, and not the President of Main Street, he is losing not only the left but the center. It's a myth that the path to winning the popular center in American politics is moving to the corporate center. If the only political choice given to American voters is using their taxes to help big government subsidize wealthy corporations, or the Republican message of shrinking the size of government and cutting their taxes, many who voted for Obama will return to the fold of the seemingly brain-dead Republican Party. Obama will likely face an even more conservative Congress after the 2010 election and even, like Jimmy Carter, could end up as a one-term President." Source

This bears repeating.....

A President Who Is Solution Oriented!

In Mexico they have a President who will stand up for a Solution.

Unfortunately our current president is not standing up. He's selling out his base on a political calculation...

And a Dino, Diane Feinstein is trying to double the legal penalty for pot brownies.

buzz....buzz....buzz....

Is Obama Going to GOTV?

Whether Obama and the Democrats Get Out The Vote is going to depend on if Elizabeth Warren is the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Board--CFPB.

The ONLY reason Obama won't appoint her is if the banks and their number one advocate and supporter--Timothy Geithner--get their way.

So Obama will have to decide if he's going to do right by the American people or if he's going to give Timothy Geithner more man love.

Why Not Elizabeth Warren for the CFPB? Isn't it about time that we had at least one powerful woman in that back room full of men?

We need Elizabeth Warren NOT Timothy Geithner....

We need Elizabeth Warren not Timothy Geithner to be writing the "new rules and regulations" that protect consumers. In the mean-time, Geithner is reassuring his base--the bankers--that the financial reform will be good for a sound economy.

We need a real consumer advocate instead of this banker advocate that bails out banks and leaves everyone else high and dry.

Obama continues to be a major disappointment and I hope he finds his spine real soon.

Obama's New Truthful Campaign Slogan

Yes We Kill.

Definitely not the change Obama voters voted for.....so the new Obama agrees with exporting arms, death and destruction for war profiteers?

Whatever happened to the new Green Technology?

Buzz...Buzz

Real Change--Fire Geithner Hire Warren....

Enough already....Fire the Banker's Best Friend--Timothy Geithner--and put a genuine consumer advocate--Elizabeth Warren--into government directing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Our government if filled with cronies of the bank. It's about time a people's advocate was appointed by Obama.

Is the US Constitution still relevant?

Whatever happened to freedom of the press? According to our first amendment--"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Yet the US executive branch is colluding with BP to use propaganda on the American people. Obama even allows BP to mis-use our Coast Guard to prevent journalists from documenting the Gulf Oil Disaster. Yet BP's paid public relations people are having no trouble with access as they paint a clean,serene picture of the Gulf Oil Disaster (kayakers in "pristine" conditions).

Local law enforcement is also being used in a fascist fashion.

This is so criminal!! Where's that change we voted for? Appears to me that Obama continues the corporate agenda and the fascist regime of Bush and Cheney continues un-abated.

Is Obama the ultimate fox in the hen house?

Looks like Obama is going to get things done that George Bush only dreamed about. Prepare yourself for Obama setting up the death of social security.

Jane Hamsher at Firedoglake has the story. Hopefully the net will become one big echo chamber on this one.

Obama won't listen and Corporations BLOCK FREE SPEECH

Two Big Issues in this video.

First Obama LIES everytime he says he's open to new ideas. Obama has consistently REFUSED to listen to the MAJORITY of the American People who want Medicare for All. But the corporate cronies don't want this. Obama has actually BLOCKED anhyone with a health care idea to the left of the center from having any seat at the healthcare table. Meanwhile, Big Pharma and Big Healthcare all paid lots of money and "viola" they filled the seats at the table. Then the doors were closed and the dark, back room deals took place.

Corporations would rather pay high health care premuiums and block the competition that would evolve as more people would start their own local businesses to compete against the corporations if we had healthcare for everyone. So as long as the only way to afford health care is to work for a corporations they have a cheaper labor pool available to them.

How can corporations yell private property and want to arrest anyone who is not marching in lockstep with the corporate agenda?

Hotels are NOT private residences.....There is a BIG? difference between private property and malls, etc that are open for public business.

Who is keeping Obama honest?

Obama is selling us out once again.

BREAKING NEWS: Multiple news sources report that the White House is urging senators to cave to Sen. Joe Lieberman! So now we have team Obama-Lieberman carrying the water for the special interests and leaving us with a bill for nothing. It appears that Hillary Clinton would have done a better job on health care than anything that team Obama is doing. My apologies to Hillary Clinton.

Obama gives new meaning to the term--Talk is Cheap.

It turns out that Hillary Clinton was not the worst candidate after all. I'm sick of all the Republicrats who think the purpose of government is to take the money from hard working folks and give it to the special corporate elitists.

Obama Sold Us Out to Big Pharma!!

Obama promised to this system of outrageous overpayments to Big Pharma of 10-20 BILLION per day (at "our" expense).

Obama needs to find that infamous "non-existent" Democratic backbone and make good on this campaign promise to us.

We did NOT elect Obama to entertain his bi-partisan urges at our expense!!
