The Obama administration and the Environmental Protection Agency announced Thursday they intend to phase out the rubber boots on gas pump handles now used to capture harmful gasoline vapors while refueling cars.
According to the EPA, 31,000 affected gas stations in mostly urban areas where smog is a problem will each save $3,000 apiece once the ruling is fully implemented...
...But for drivers, the decision will mean less hassle trying to get the rubber boot to fit over their gas tank opening. Motorcyclists and some recreational vehicle drivers have long complained that the environment-friendly gas nozzles were incompatible with their vehicles.

I fucking HATE boots.
They don't know shit. They always think they're the toughest recruit in the valley, but they grew up with Nintendo 64 as their first gaming console.
Fuck them.
They also piss me off when I'm filling up my bikes or my old Ford. They get in the way huge. I'm glad these things are going away. Obama just locked my vote in. Plus I'm still buzzed from chilling with him and my boy, Clooney last night.

Yeah It is gay...almost 4 years in office & this is about the only half ass good thing He has come up with?, Changing out some rubber boots, big fucking deal.... I highly doubt it was even His idea, He just gave the nod. maybe hoping to squeeze a couple of votes out of ignorant clueless voters.
Obama Also thinks that GUNS & OUR CONSTITUTION are "Redundant" & not needed...... No way
in HELL is He going to get a Vote out of Me......

Well, if he REALLY wants to do something, let's make the emergency STOP button work like a CYCLE START button, so it spooges GAS out at every PUMP! This would kill two birds with one stone...FIRST, it would soak all of the patrons in flammable gasoline, which would probably cut down the incessant cigarette smoking at the pumps...DEFINITELY a Neopet peeve of mine. It would also make for a great gag when your buddy is pumping gas. I'll bet all of the other folks would laugh like HELL just seeing the LOOK on your friend's face! I would!!
SECOND, I wish he'd do something about the PHONE CHARGERS they sell at the same convenience stores. I swear, I might buy ten of these things a year...ok, that's an exaggeration, but I'll bet I buy FOUR a year, which is almost $80 a year! What the fuck??
And this one won't really help too many people, but I'm SICK of OBAMA leaving my laundry room light switch ON ALL FUCKING NIGHT. Does he not know that there's an ENERGY CRISIS?!
Come ON, OBAMA, FIX THESE PROBLEMS. Good job on the rubber cone, brotherman..they need to take them FROM the gas pumps and put them ON the McDonald's shake machines. Those things are just mad messy.
