Barack Obama – For the Little Guy or Big Oil?

Here is yet another skeleton in Obama’s closet that has somehow eluded the mass media. His ties to big biz electricity markets. One of his biggest backers is Exelon, the Illinois power company. And they are one of the largest megawatt providers. They’re also in trouble with the state AG who says that the company is bilking consumer left and right. Also there is that issue of the so call nuclear legislation he authored which was supposed to require all nuke plant owners to notify state and local authorities immediately of even small leaks. However, the bill was stripped down and lost its punch as Obama caved into senate Republicans and it replaced the requirement with a ‘guidance’. Obama forgets to mention that when he brags about that legislation on the campaign trail. Lies of omission. Change? What change? This sounds like the same old Big Energy/Oil Politics to me.
