Although some of this may be representative of Obama I think this is going too far. Aside from poor taste it borders on pure hate in its lowest form.
I don't respect Obama or the questionable way he obtained the office, I'm not convinced he is even qualified as a citizen to be president but this is too much, IMO.

How did people do this without anyone knowing what is going on? Is there a certain company involved or is it random?

I think this kind of stuff probably does more harm than good. Some who are "anti-Democrat" may get a laugh out of it. Undecideds may well get turned off and not want to support the Republicans (whether the Republicans actually posted the billboard, they will get credit for it) that posted it.

While I don't disagree with you, Pocketman - I would point out that FAR worse things were said about/done to Bush et al. as well. Political Cartoonery and hoisting politicians on their own petard has been fair game for millenia. I don't see it changing any time soon. Personally I prefer not to engage in it. But surprised at it? uhh.... no.

Who is so weak-minded that they will look at this billboard then change their mind and not vote for his challenger? BHO is destroying this nation and I enjoy any rebuttal of him. He spews sewage about this country and we are suppose to just take it? We are suppose to just "be the nice guy" and "take the high road"?? That's why he got into the office of president... APATHY! I think that billboard speaks volumes of truth. Bring on more of them exposing that criminal in the position of POTUS!!!

may not be fully representative, IMO, they could have added a few more characters. i did get a laugh out of it and i'm not even a democrat hater. its political humor, not blasphemy.

You are absolutely right - the door swings both ways.

Political cartoonists used to play a big role in the media back when newspapers were the only real median especially since fewer people could read back then.

I still think they play a role today as well. This kinda stuff seems a little childish to me but whatever. I'm indifferent. Every POTUS gets this type of "caricature assassination" from the opposing POVs.

So they have BHO in a turbin with a bomb strapped to his chest. If the artist really wanted to be controversial, why not display him as Mohammed and see how quickly the Islamic radicals respond. Will the artist get beheaded??

A Democrat probably put it up to make it look like the Tea Party did it.

More likely a Republican put it up to make it look like a Democrat put it up to make it look like the TEA Party did it!

 

[buckstopshere]

Oh I'm sure Keith Olberman and/or Chris Mathews will be all over the tea party for this!

This is what I thought when they are so secretive.

I put it up....... Im kinda hoping I'll get a couple of awards for my accuracy

I can't agree with that billboard. I don't think he is gay.

 

[jbombelli]

This stuff has been going on in American politics from the very beginning.

It seems people can rent billboards and say whatever the hell they want. I wonder how much that costs.

Since when is "disrespectful" and "in bad taste" automatically something a honorable person wouldn't do? I mean, if it was slanderous, then yes, a honorable person would not do it. But if it's not slander, then why wouldn't an honorable person take steps that could very well be called for.

Personally, I think it's funny. It's not something that I'd put on a billboard, but still funny.

You're right... it is too much. Barry Hussein is not dedicated enough to be a terrorist and doesn't have the fashion sense of a gay man... He is a gangster and a bandit, though.

Does it qualify as pure hate? Yes, I think it does. I think it's pretty obvious that the artist hates the criminal occupying the White House with every fiber of his being.

Personally, I do not. I don't want to see harm befall him. I want to see him embarrassed in some scandal. I want to see him resign or be impeached, tried, found guilty, and removed from office in ignominy. I am hesitant to go that far because I would not want to see his sins be inappropriately applied to his children (not legally, but people would remember. No one with the last name of "Arnold" ever names their son "Benedict", y'know?) That said, though, he needs to have to live with the results of his crimes.

The billboard would be funny if the parts of it that are true were not.

Blessings,
Bill

Larry Sinclair says you are wrong.

This "I want to see him resign or be impeached, tried, found guilty, and removed from office" agreed.

I didn't like this kind of crap when the democrats did it to Bush and I think its going to far now with the Kenyan. I would have liked to see Clinton impeached for his crimes, but justice does not exist in a society were greed and corruption are rewarded.

The dems could have posted it themselves to fingerpoint republicans. Maybe not, but maybe so. It's very possible and I wouldn't put it past them. They get off on playing games and pointing fingers.
