So now Obama is forcing all public pools in the country to have permanent lifts?

And this is by tomorrow even? Does Obama and the DOJ think small hotels or any other business with a pool has thousands of dollars laying around in this economy to install pool lifts? Is Obama trying to kill the economy?

All 300,000 public pools in the United States must install a permanent fixed lift. The deadline for compliance is tomorrow, March 15. Call it "Poolmageddon."

There is no way all 300,000 pools can install permanent lifts by Thursday. There simply are not enough lifts in existence or enough people who know how to install them, according to industry spokesmen. Plus, each lift costs between $3,000 and $10,000 and installation can add $5,000 to $10,000 to the total.

Soo..... I don't understand how someone in a wheelchair can swim in a pool.
