Any other options besides these?:

1. Obama is doing something right.
2. Obama is just scoring short-term political points. He does not intend to really support nuclear energy.
3. It is a money-laundering scheme. Multi-billion $ loans that will not be paid back and do not need to produce anything.
4. Obama is pretending to make a good-faith effort at nuclear, but it is intended to fail and diminish nuclear power options.
5. The contracts will be given to muslims to improve muslim-relations by showing we trust them with nuclear things.

See post 32.

Obama is taking credit for Bush’s initiative. I suspect he is doing so because HIS job creation programs have all FAILED.
