Garage sales covered under new product safety laws

Selling any used cribs or playpens at your upcoming garage sale? Children’s clothes with drawstrings or zippers? Pre-1985 books? Rubber duckies or pool floaties?

Better check them twice.

Just like megasize toy manufacturers and stores that sell products from China, the notoriously broad and confusing federal Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act applies to you and your front yard

"They'll pick us off one at a time, just like with the DWI laws"

Valid point, and great job security for all LEOs too.
But not really the point, either.

Lookit, zerO & Co. have really over stepped themselves, as we knew he would. Insodoing he set into motion the instruments of his own end, as-in one term.
Ther're "unintended consequences" coming his way, big time.

Couple examples:

zerO & Co. want to get rid of cars over 5 years old. Fine.
Has zerO & Co. considered the enormous numbers of Democrat voting car lovers out there?
Nope, hardly.
Not good for zerO.

And how 'bout the average person who holds a garage sale?
Let's *profile* one!!
Female. Mom. Suburban. Trying to make ends meet. Democrat. zerO voter.
Not good for zerO.

There're other equally curious examples of zerO doing the kinds of things demanding the attention of the very people who thought zerO's "Hope & Change" a GREAT idea.
Now, their ox is being gored.
Those people are having some real buyer's remorse, my friend.
Not good for zerO.

Backlash happens when[ever] an entire paradigm is upset, overnight. And that's precisely what the Chitown hustler's done & continues doing without regard to the interest(s) of very people who elected him.

The imbecile only won by how many votes? 3 million, 4 million? Peanuts. zerO has more than stepped on that many toes, in fact the numbers fo PO'd have to overwhelm his margin of victory.
Not good for zerO.

So yea bring it on, come get us zerO.
All of us. ;^)

Obama will throw anybody under the bus and they will be grateful for having attracted His Attention.

HA!!
Yea-yea.
Might just be right about that.

We're going to have to wait & see.
