I went out to buy BR40 120 watt bulbs today. GE used to make them here in the US. I was told the Obama administration has banned them. My only choice was to buy CFLs made in China. I can't use them because my house is wired with electronic dimmers. It's getting rather dark in here.

Unfortunately it was the Bush admin that banned them......
This is one of many reasons why I refer to Bush as Obama-lite.....
Elect real conservatives!
Your story got me curious to search for the lightbulb. A couple of sites said it was sold out or discontinued, like this...

However, if these other sites are not yet sold out, you might still be able to get them...
