Vote Obama? billboard sparks debate

(September 2nd, 2010 @ 1:35pm)

The billboard asks two simple questions?

"Vote Obama? Embarrassed yet?"

It's clear the people behind the billboard are not fans of President Obama, according to KY3 TV.

Steve Critchfield, a partner in a Ozark, Missouri real estate brokerage, tells the station he and his business partner bought the billboard because they've felt "lots of frustration here lately."

He thought it would spark thought and debate.

"I've certainly voted for people I'm embarrassed to say I've voted for," he said. "We're not naïve enough to think that we wouldn't get someone to be upset. I'm just surprised how upset people are."

But some are saying it's racist and hate speech.

Critchfield says it was for something "more American in the name of discourse, conversation and old-fashioned debate."

"If everybody thinks [President Obama's] done a great job and they're very happy," he said, "then I guess they'd be buying billboards saying 'I'm proud to have voted for him.' That's what makes America great, isn't it?"

    Bumper sticker

    Related to this, I saw a wonderful bumpersticker. It was on a car that had a Obama/Biden bumper sticker obviously left from 2008 but right next to it there was a second, newer sticker that said *I apologize.*

    Oh thank God, now they are reaching at straws, racist...whatever. I like the billboard. I wish I could get one on my property. I would purposely face it towards a certain HOA in Mesa that seems to be the face of todays Social Marxist and Liberal Agenda. Hahahahahahahahaha

    Obama is no Fool

    He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos, thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands.

    I saw along I-10 in California. I had a large picture of George W. Bush with the caption "MISS ME YET?"
