Obama hates electricity

After Japan's nuclear...experience, Obama wants to make sure there are no basement generators or anything in America's nuclear reactors. He is mandating a safety review of the US's nuclear power plants. Freepers are not happy, though they vary widely as to why they are so angry:

Carry_Okie thinks this is Obama helping out the oil companies he loves:

Another fob to the major stockholders in oil companies, and another kick in the nuts for the American middle class.

Puppage is pretty sure regulation is like ownership:

Govt Motors, now Govt Nuclear Facilities?

bwc2221 agrees with the move, but still hates Obama:

I can’t fault him for this, but there are about a million other things I can.

colorado tanker is sure the people who designed the reactors 40 years ago are too smart to need oversight:

Did it occur to our government of Ivy League geniuses that the people who designed and built these reactors anticipated making them secure in the event of natural disasters???

Cyber Liberty thinks Obama is going to shut down everything:

If Zero runs true to form, he'll have Salazar or some other flunky order all nuke plants shut down pending the review. Then he'll drag his feet.

RJS1950 thinks the inspections suck cause they are "probably union:"

You mean that his brilliant administration has not been doing this on a regular basis? Oh, that’s right; the inspectors are probably union so the inspections are pencil-whipped.

OldMissileer knows Obama hates the little people getting electricity:

This is an attempt to give a few more cushy jobs to Obama cronies and then, no matter what the findings, shut down the plants.

In their eyes, the only people who need or deserve gas, food, electricity, and other “conveniences, are the leftists in power. The rest can either toil for their pleasure or die.

PennsylvaniaMom thinks rolling blackouts will be great for Obama's reelection:

My fear...Barky goes Merkel...shuts them down (for the chillrens’ safety) and we at best have rolling blackouts; at worst...hello 1820s.

hal ogen:

nobama truly wants us all to live like the Amish live. Without electricity, with horses and passive. Now THAT is “change”. nobama is such a brilliant anti-leader.

ScreamingFist thinks safety reviews are what the commies do:

Calling the government in to review government certified power plants....is well.....so communist.

dalereed actually thinks nuclear power is too safe:

They are too safe now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live 12 miles from San Onofre and want the safety bullshit to be reduced!
