white roofs

Obama wants people to paint the roofs white. He said its to safe energy. But is that really true? In the winter wouldn't you want a black roof to get your home heated. in the summer time you do not want your roof black because black it's warmer than white. But seriously. We elected Obama to make changes. This sounds like a joke. Really. that's the problem. What about property values. A house with a white roof makes the house look ugly. So put up some cash Obama. How about tax breaks to people who paint their roofs white. Lets go one better. People are unemployed at high rates. So the government should hire people to paint the roofs white. That way its a win, win situation. Painters are as unemployed as anyone in this bad economy. People will not go buy white paint and get on a roof to paint. I am quite sure fear of heights is keeping a lot of people from painting their roofs any color.
