‘Anti-Obama’ Billboards Go Viral
April 5, 2010 - 1:19 PM | by: Elizabeth Prann
If you have something to say – put it on a billboard. Atlanta commuters are noticing electronic billboards in metro Atlanta posting anti-Obama messages. The idea turns what is normally a staple of commercial advertising into a platform for political opinions - a bumper-sticker slogan aimed at a wider audience.
The signs include: ‘Stop Obama’s Socialism.”
“If You’re Not Outraged, You’re Not Paying Attention.”
“Now It’s Personal! America’s Coming for You Congress! Vote Liberals Out in 2010.”
“Stop the Lies.”
The billboard sponsors consists of about 12 local businessmen. They've created a Web site: billboardsagainstobama.com, where you can find four billboards messages to donate to.
Spokesperson Tommy Newberry says there has seen such an influx of interest, sponsors are creating 50 billboard designs for donators to pick from. He also says it won't take long before the billboards start popping up around the nation.
“We are now very well funded. We are getting about a donation a minute,” Newberry said.
Donations range from a few dollars to $500 dollars. Newberry also has had about a dozen requests for an entire billboard. An electronic billboards advertisement can cost up to $3,500 a month.
Newberry says the group's ultimate goal is to not only grab people's attention but also educate and motivate them.
“There’s a lot of energy from people who want to participate and they don’t know exactly what they want to do. We can speak for them, on their behalf,” Newberry said.

The GOP is playing its tattered Obama is a closet socialist trump card again. The aim is to tar President Obama as a radical out to soak the rich, hamstring private business, and radically redistribute wealth downward to the poor.

He is a European style social democrat and obviously he has the progressive hankering for a parliamentary system.
Hasn't Obama publicly stated these goals...although I'd assume he didn't use the term hamstring, although that is the net effect.
A Marxist is insulted when you call him a socialist.
“The GOP is playing its tattered Obama is a closet socialist trump card again.
Closet Socialist ????
I would say, full blown Marxist/Communist,
and certainly OUT of the closet.
At the Tax Day Tea Party (2009) I was carrying a sign:
“HUSSEIN = COMMIE”
And a couple libs gave me attitude for it.
Since then, Ocommie has proven himself to be the biggest Communist the USA has ever seen.
I hope to see one here soon.
Truth hurts.
Fascist.
Nobody needs to tar Osama as a socialist, he's proving that fact on a daily basis.
Well yeah. Thats what he is doing. Duh.
How about this one:
"If You're Not Outraged, You're Not Paying TAXES."
He was never in the closet in this regard. He just suckered enough idiots in to vote for him. They would be "independents and moderates" as they like to call themselves. Idiots I say.
I had not heard that the employer insurance benefit will be counted as income. That is a big tax bite, even for those of us who have free employer provided insurance! Wow!
Sound about right. That part about being a CLOSET socialist? Not hardly. He is in your face with it.
vaudine
Wow. I know that in 2011 on your W-2 it now has to have
what your employer paid for your Health coverage do you think this is what he means? Yikes that is all we need is to add more income without actually the income.
“He was never in the closet in this regard. He just suckered enough idiots in to vote for him. They would be “independents and moderates” as they like to call themselves. Idiots I say.”
This is why I have little hope for the once great USA, now USSA.
When you still have 45%, or so, citizens that still think Obozo is a good POTUS, it is obvious that the citizenry has
been dumbed down to moron level by the Marxist media and educational system.
I feel for those that still have to live there.

Cheers!
45% is not 50%. It isn't over yet. I admit it doesn't look good. But Obama is far from a genius and will step on his unit one to many times. I just hope he doesn't do too much damage in the meantime.
Hmm, well this pantload has it exactly right about Ubanga. ...I just hope he's right that the GOP will pull no punches in making sure normal, working, taxpaying Americans get the message loud and clear.
And "socialist" is simply a polite word for "communist".
Personally, I wish people weren't so polite when talking about this scumbag communist Ubanga.
“.I just hope he’s right that the GOP will pull no punches in making sure normal, working, taxpaying Americans get the message loud and clear. “
I’m sure Michael Steele,or Romney will be sure to jump on that bandwagon.
We get the message loud and clear. Will the weak kneed Republican "leadership" get it. That's the only question here.

“If Obama were to become a major league pitcher, he would be the worst in history.... he would whine that its not fair that the batters keep advancing to the base on 4 balls, so Obama would demand that the rules be CHANGED so that he could appear as if he’s an All Star Pitcher. He would make the strike zone extend from the dirt to the top of the batter’s helmet, and when the ESPN clubhouse reporter asks him, “Do you really think its right to change the rules that have governed the game of baseball for over a century just to make it more ‘fair’ for the pitcher? You do realize, sir, that the pitcher is only one person playing in the game with 17 other players... right?” Obama would answer, “Now, look, I don’t think the fans come to the baseball rink to keep track of the ‘rules’. People come out here to see me, and to see other big leaguers. I understand that people like you sports reporters love to harp on the rules of the game, or the process by which the game is played, but I don’t think that is something the fans come to see. The fans want to come see me be as fair as possible and they come to watch everyone walk off the field a winner. No one even remembers who ‘wins’ the games....” ESPN reporter, “What do you have to say to those fans outside the park demanding that you restore the rules of the game and those who say that its the consistency of the rules that have made the game such an exestential part of Americana?” Obama, “Those are the same people who protested the idea of integrating the Negro League into the MLB. Those are voices of hate.” ESPN reporter, “Actually, sir, I see a group of diverse people out there and I believe that they are professing their LOVE for the game and that your rules change seems arbitrary and damaging.” Obama, “Like I said, they are racists. Trust me, if I say it, its true”
Knucklehead is for Obamby, not you grey_whiskers!
“But Obama is far from a genius”
Of course, but he has some bright puppet masters and a good teleprompter.
Whenever I read about how smart and what a bright guy 57 state Obambie is, I want to scream.
By the way, you do know that Ayers has admitted to writing
Obambie’s two books.

. . . He Changed His Mind.
>>> A Marxist is insulted when you call him a socialist.
lol... interesting. Please elaborate.
Someone that really knows might explain it to me if my understanding is incorrect.
It wasn’t on this level, but I was up near the Massachusetts border in NY state several years ago, and there were several billboards about how Bush was killing American soldiers.
It was a real lib area, and full of natural types eating yogurt and growing organic, walking around in hippie clothes.
I remember thinking this is not a place I would ever move. And they sure wouldn’t want me. My Gadsden flag would probably send them into conniptions.
I completely detest places like that. Ever notice the class gap in those types of towns and cities is always huge too? Usually it's all poor and rich, very little middle class.
I remember in elementary school my teacher telling us that Americans do not bow to foreign heads, and that was a tradition started by Jefferson.
I guess Obama was absent that day.
Or in Indonesia for all those years.
Usually the taxes are high to keep out the riff raff.
See, they don’t do racism. They just make sure the uneducated types simply can’t afford to live where they do, because of taxes.
Ha. Earl Ofari Hutchinson is a bigger socialist than Obama.
No he doesn’t like hearing the truth. His response so far has been to scoff and respond with incredulity.
That educational system is the one that American citizens throughout the USA that American citizens apparently want- The local school boards are elected and paid for by local voters/taxpayers! Suck it up, YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF!
“YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF!’
Don’t point your snotty little finger at me !!!
I did no such thing.
After taking a look at your homepage, I must state that my remarks were intended for citizens residing in the USA, no ill feelings intended.
