Are Your Christmas Lights OBAMA APPROVED?

You know how countless millions of Americans string colored lights around their home in December to celebrate Christ's birth and the family holidays?
Well, Obama's Consumer Product Safety Commission has decided that those lights are dangerous, hazardous and need substantial new federal regulations to protect you from yourself.
Seriously.
You probably were not aware of how dangerously you've been living at those happy holiday times without these new protection rules that Washington has decided we all need.
As you may have noticed, this is a thing with the Obama administration, which still has 624 days left to levy new rules. Its officials have promulgated thousands upon thousands of pages of new regulations since Jan. 20, 2009, from ObamaCare rules to how you shower.
In March, we learned Obama's Environmental Protection Agency is designing new shower heads capable of wirelessly reporting your shower water usage to a central database. Because although Americans pay for their water, they waste too much of it, in the opinion of Washington bureaucrats.
Now, about those obnoxious holiday lights. First of all, they use electricity. Here's how the Safety Commission explained its mission this week in the Federal Register:
"The Consumer Product Safety Commission is issuing a final rule to specify that seasonal and decorative lighting products that do not contain any one of three readily observable characteristics (minimum wire size, sufficient strain relief or overcurrent protection), as addressed in a voluntary standard, are deemed a substantial product hazard under the Consumer Product Safety Act."
Got that?
