Mr. President:Don't we deserve nuclear power as much as the Iranians?

Back on June 2 President Obama said that the Iranians desire for nuclear power was legitimate as long as they could prove their desire was peaceful. (See the Associated Press story here). Candidate Obama said he could be for nuclear power only when we could prove we could safely store the waste, and then on May 9 decided to end the funding for the Yucca Mountain storage facility.

The obvious questions exist here:

1. Why can Iran have nuclear power but we can't?
2. Why does Iran merely have to prove they are peaceful (which I'm not sure what that means anyway) and we have to prove we can safely store it (again how do we define that?)
3. If our priority is for clean green fuels why can't we use the most successful world wide clean green fuel?
4. If cheesy 1970's movies can set national policy (The China Syndrome), I vote that we pass a resolution that President Obama apply for a name change to President Le Petomane (if you are keeping score that is my second Blazing Saddles reference this week but if the reference fits use it).
5. Does an emphasis on clean green fuels only apply to clean green fuels the President approves of? Part II: doesn't that make him the Emperor not the President?

Pointing out the obvious inconsistencies in the President's policies used to be something our main stream media did, but is left to bloggers now. Luckily there are some that people actually read.
