It takes one Republican to go on Fox News and complain about how Obama closed down all the good old fashioned light bulb factories so he could force all Americans to change to curly bulbs.

One to complain on Fox News about how Obamacare has forced up the cost of lightbulbs.

One to complain on Fox News that Obama rigging the diesel market has made shipping them unaffordable.

One to complain on Fox News that Obama's tax hikes have made millions of Americans too poor to buy light bulbs.

And one to complain on Fox News that Obama just doesn't like Americans being able to see at night.

While this is happening, the five Republicans all forget to make their house payments...so their house gets repossessed and the Republican who bought it at a fire-sale price drives to Walmart, buys a light bulb, screws it in and flips the switch.

The one who says that Obama wants to take away all your incandescent light bulb.

The one who says that there is a new world order to not use incandescent light bulbs.

and the one who says that Obama wants to force darkness on everyone.

they'd rather keep changing incandescent bulbs than buy socialist energy-efficient compact flourescents or LEDs

They'll never get a majority in the House or ten Republican Senators to vote to authorize it.

OBAMA WANTS TO REDISTRIBUTE LIGHT!!! GET YOUR OWN ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION!!!

The interesting thing about that analogy is sunlight is the energy source of most lifeforms on earth and it's free. The Sun is the ultimate socialist.

who is stockpiling incandescent light bulbs. Of course, I always have to rip on him about that and the whole not grasping human-made climate change.
