Santorum criticized the Obama administration on Uranium Mining

Comment:  What is up with America's leaders supporting mining to create jobs but destroy our air, water and our lives?  Greed, the companies are passing out monies to America's leaders like candy and the evil jerks love it.  Keep the uranium mining everywhere!
