Consider all of the lower end car manufacturers.. None of them currently have LCD screens in their cars. They will now ALL need to have them. Did President Obama fail to think about the cost of this?
What is ridiculous is the lack of critical thinking. Your scorn is misdirected. The accident that prompted this was in 2002. The law requiring that the Department of Transportation draft regulations to address this risk was signed in 2008. And not by Obama.
