Menasha attorneys distance themselves from 'Impeach Obama' billboard (YEEESSS! FINALLY!
http://oneclick.indiatimes.com/article/082qgts5XBcUW?q=Barack+Obama ^ | Feb. 15, 2010 | Duke Behnke

Two Menasha attorneys linked to an Oshkosh billboard calling for the impeachment of President Barack Obama sought Monday to deflect the flak generated by the controversial sign.

Attorney Thomas J. Wroblewski said he and his father, Thomas S. Wroblewski, merely represent an unnamed company that rented the billboard and are not responsible for its message.

♦ Sign up for news, weather and sports text alerts.

“It is nothing personal for my dad or me,” Wroblewski said. “It is a limited liability company that our firm represents. The company chose the location of the billboard and chose the language.”

The billboard along U.S. 41 reads “Impeach Obama.” The tagline says, “America’s small businesses are failing. Help us spread the message.”

The sign appeared Thursday and will remain in place for six months. Its message quickly generated national media attention and ignited a firestorm of debate online, often along political lines. A Google search for “impeach Obama billboard” generated 346,000 results Tuesday afternoon.

Wroblewski said he received angry telephone calls at his office Monday. He said the rage directed at him and his father is misplaced.

“We represent a group of small-business owners,” he said. “We organized the company and solicited the contract on their behalf.”

Wroblewski said he could not divulge any details about the business owners. “My instructions from my clients are not to disclose their identity,” he said.

I do believe the “YESSSS” is referring to a beginning tide of popular sentiment voicing a desire to see the SOB occupying Reagan’s seat be removed from office.

The LARGE billboard with IMPEACH Obama on it.

I LIKE that the idea of impeaching Obama is finally becoming part of the PUBLIC debate.

If 0bama is eligible to be president, then he is eligible to be impeached. If he is not eligible to be president, then he is eligible to be arrested by the DC police.

I tried to be diplomatic, considering the fact that impressionable young people just starting to get their Conservative feet wet read these forums. My terming of the current occupant of the Oval Office as an SOB was meant in no way as a disparagement of female canines.

“The sign appeared Thursday and will remain in place for SIX months.”

Six months is a looong time. Can it withstand the howling, squealing, and gnashing of teeth from the leftists for that long?

The Guard Tower in the background apparently means it’s located near a prison; which means it will be seen by many Blacks on visitation days.

I live in the area, about 15 miles North. I drive by that sign on a regular basis and it's getting attention.

Yep, that's a prison. There's also a big honkin' landfill site that's not shown in the pic. A lot of trash thru that stretch....

What is that behind the billboard? It looks like a prison guard tower.

I don't think bilboards are affected by howling, squealing, and gnashing of teeth.

Must be obama. he likes secrecy. He's also over his head and knows it. Having himself impeached would bring all focus on him. He likes that.

He will not get the Black turnout in 2012 that he got in 2008. The novelty of a Black President is gone; the new has worn off, and they have not benefitted from his policies at all.

“My instructions from my clients are not to disclose their identity,” he said.

They absolutely better remain anonymous. The lefty loons and union thugs would vandalize their homes and businesses. You take a big risk placing a GOP candidates sign on your lawn or on your car. I live in Portland where it's probably worse than in some other parts of the country, but these Dems absolutely believe conservatives are evil and deserve whatever.

What was the distancing done by the lawyers? They cannot disclose client’s confidential information and they cannot take credit for what they did not do.

This title misrepresents the article.

I’ve often wondered why vice presidents tend to be so unlikable. I think I’m finding out.

Finding a VP that the opposing side hates worse than you seems one of the best protections against impeachment.

Just think, if we had removed Clinton, Al Gore would be president.

Obama’s pick of Joe (light in the loafers) Biden as VP should be grounds for impeachment.
