An AP story today highlighted the energy policy debate of the Democratic candidates. It points out that Barack Obama misled voters about standing up against the nuclear power special interests.
Obama said he "passed" a bill requiring nuclear power companies to disclosed leaks.
Well, it turns out that the bill never passed the Senate and the language that made it out of committee was watered down after Obama met with the nuclear power companies. I don't think that classifies as "straight talk." In fact, it seems to me that this is about as "Washington" as you can get.
The story also points out that Exelon executives and employees have given Obama's campaign over $200,000. But I'm sure they all donated the money because they were glad he was trying to slap their industry with a bunch of new regulations. Oh wait, they talked him out of it.
