Oh, and yeah, the thing about nuclear power? For some reason, Yucca Mountain and its failure to launch has put a hold to any further construction.

The thing that makes this patently absurd is Yucca Mountain is even necessary. France has been generating 75% of their power with nuclear for about 40 years now. The entirety of their nuclear waste can fit beneath the floor of a room at one of those plants. Why? Because they actually do the smart thing and reprocess most of that "waste" into usable fuel once more.

You know why we don't that? Because the idiot public got spooked after Three Mile Island, and Jimmy Carter thought rogue nations could somehow use our reprocessed fuel to build a bomb.

GG, America. GG.

This. If Obama was going for the Jimmy Carter repeat like he seemed to be doing, he could have at least ended it the same way.

Of course Obama is seen as cool unlike Carter, and Romney isn't 1/10 as inspirational as Reagan.

We had to sit through ten years of stagflation, starting with Nixon's first term and running through Ford and Carter, before the economic winds blew Reagan into power.

Perhaps it was foolish to hope that we might only have to sit through four years of Barack. 

not with these kinds of people being allowed to vote

That all depends on how long it's going to take for all this budget cutting nonsense to blow over and for congress to switch back to pro-growth policies.  It certainly isn't going to get any better over the next two years, seeing how Boehner and Reid seem to have nothing better to be doing than playing chicken over the debt ceiling and the fiscal cliff to traumatize investors.

I'm surprised there are not more liberal voices in this thread. The BSN as a whole is VERY liberal.

They're celebrating. The Conservatives are venting.

Yeah because everyone gets hearded into column A or B.

Considering the popular vote nearly broke down at 50/50. Yeah we're more A or B than ever.

No political threads, please.
