If Natural Gas is the pollution free energy to get us off of oil why is Obama and gang trying to stop it?

No, it isn't pollution free. It produces one of the deadliest pollutants known to mankind: radioactive waste. Much of this waste is so toxic that it must be carefully stored so that it doesn't get released into the biosphere.

It is important to note that many countries recycle the radioactive material; however, much more of it is simply stored underground.

The nuclear power debate is about the controversy11847119 which has surrounded the deployment and use of nuclear fission reactors to generate electricity from nuclear fuel for civilian purposes. The debate about nuclear power peaked during the 1970s and 1980s, when it "reached an intensity unprecedented in the history of technology controversies", in some countries.120121 Proponents of nuclear energy contend that nuclear power is a sustainable energy source that reduces carbon emissions and increases energy security by decreasing dependence on imported energy sources.122 Proponents claim that nuclear power produces virtually no conventional air pollution, such as greenhouse gases and smog, in contrast to the chief viable alternative of fossil fuel. Proponents also believe that nuclear power is the only viable course to achieve energy independence for most Western countries.

M. King Hubbert saw oil as a resource which would soon run out, and believed uranium had much more promise as an energy source.123 Proponents claim that the risks of storing waste are small and can be further reduced by using the latest technology in newer reactors, and the operational safety record in the Western world is excellent when compared to the other major kinds of power plants.124 Opponents believe that nuclear power poses many threats to people and the environment.125126127 These threats include the problems of processing, transport and storage of radioactive nuclear waste, the risk of nuclear weapons proliferation and terrorism, as well as health risks and environmental damage from uranium mining.128129 They also contend that reactors themselves are enormously complex machines where many things can and do go wrong, and there have been serious nuclear accidents.111130 Critics do not believe that the risks of using nuclear fission as a power source can be offset through the development of new technology. They also argue that when all the energy-intensive stages of the nuclear fuel chain are considered, from uranium mining to nuclear decommissioning, nuclear power is not a low-carbon electricity source.131132133 Arguments of economics and safety are used by both sides of the debate.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
