There's no doubt the upcoming election is having a big impact on people. But places? A local farm market owner is losing business because of a political sign put up by his brother. Sweet corn is their specialty. But lately Bullard's Farm Market is getting some not-so-sweet attention.

"Over the Labor Day weekend my brother painted a barn," explained Bullard's Farm Market owner Kevin Bullard.

An Obama Barn that is. It's part of a grassroots campaign called "Barns for Obama." Supporters paint an "O" on their barns to show their support.

barn being painted in Trumbull County (OHIO)is showing support for Barack Obama. It belongs to Joe Logan of Kinsman, the President of the Ohio Farmers Union. When painters put up the message last month on Logan's Barn it was shot in time lapse photography and posted on Obama's campaign web site.

Some things are better spread on a field than daubed on a barn.

Isn’t that the truth. You have to wonder about any business person who puts up an Obama sign

No business for the Obama barn....

That’s the price the barn owner should pay for being such a doofus.

Let him or her try and survive on just Obama lackeys.... most of whom will probably demand freebies.

We were going to paint it on our barn but we own a cotton farm and they asked us not to.

Obama on a barn is about as convincing as Dukakis in a tank.

It’s a damned shame that so many farmers are now welfare queens.

Hard to believe a farmer could find anything to identify with Obama, who probably never ever planted a seed.
