It's astonishing that there are people so hopped up on mass hysteria about the black man in the oval office that they would actually want Bush back. Because that isn't aimed at the Bushies who never came to the realization of what a complete **** up he was. That's for the people who actually think Obama is worse than Bush.
Madness.
Madness.

I think the billboard should be used as target practice for hunters.
Dick could use the practice.

yes, because no one could be opposed to obama's actual policies - whatever they might be, since even he doesn't seem to know half the time what they actually are - it's all about racism. just as this response is not aimed at the sustance of your chickensh*t position, it's because you're gay. heckuva job, jerby.
as far as the billboard, i mean c'mon, that picture and that caption? high-larious.

Oh I don't doubt that there are people sincerely opposed to Obama's policies.
But that billboard smacks of the kind of insane, ignorant people who are opposed to policies that don't even exist. People likely to be seen with a Lipton or Tesley teabag dangling from their hat or glasses and a misspelled sign glaring with badly photoshopped images of Obama in Halloween drag.

The people who have legitmate concerns about Obama's policies aren't being heard. They can't be, over the noise and rhetoric from both sides. There are those in the Tea Party movement who have real concerns with the size of government, and did so under Bush, but now they're being used by FoxNews as if they were a new phenomenon. And the crazies with the racist, often misspelled signs are the ones being used by the left as exemplars of the entire movement.

My favorite are the ones who insist on calling him Barack HUSSEIN Obama as if we are all supposed to cower in fear at the mention of the man's middle name. Sort of like how every man ever named Adolf has been responsible for genocide.

given that no one has taken credit for it, it's one of those things that - ironically like obama himself in the '08 campaign - people tend to project their own thoughts on.
when i saw it, i immediately thought that it had been put up by an obama supporter to remind the nervous nellies and naysayers of just how much worse things could be.

To be fair, there are also crazies on the far left who are against Obama's policies.
Isn't that the kicker? "He's too liberal!" "He's too conservative!"
Hmmmmm.

sometimes being attacked from both sides is an indication that you're headed in the right direction. and sometimes it's an indication that you're just really, really wrong.

Joe - We said the same about Reagan and he was voted Greatest President EVER or whatever that nonsense was.

Easy to oversimplify what I was saying. I've acknowledged the man's faults--his bad first year. I'm talking about moving forward. Maybe he'll continue to screw it up. But if he actually walks the walk of the talk he gave in the SOTU and before both the GOPs and the Dems, then I believe we are bound for great things.
Seeing is believing, so he better get at it.

"The ad was purchased by a group of small business owners who wish to remain anonymous," McNamara said. However, McNamara did offer this political bombshell: "Some of the people in the group who paid for this were Obama supporters."
McNamara told us that the message the group hoped to convey was one of "Hope and change, where is it?" She went on to say that she has yet to receive any negative feedback about the ad, which has been up for about a month, and added that some have even contacted her office offering to donate money to keep it up.
However, not everyone is buying McNamara's portrayal of the group's ideological makeup. Cindy Erickson, the chairwoman of the Democratic Party in Chisago County, where the billboard is located, suspects the ad's funders are conservative activists posing as Obama supporters.
"I don't have any idea who did it, but my thought was that they're Tea Party people," she said. "Regardless, it's been the subject of many conversations around here."

The billboard was evidently put up by people who aren't willing to be patient with President Obama, who really is a terribly busy man.
