Internet chatter had led to speculation that it might be an urban myth -- nothing more than clever digital trickery spreading via the Web.
But our friend Bob Collins at Minnesota Public Radio assures us he's seen it with his own eyes:
There is a billboard along I-35 near Wyoming, Minn., with a huge photo of former president George W. Bush and this question: "Miss Me Yet?"

Thank you for the update !
SCREW YOU! First Amendment BUDDY! Drink some more of that Bushbot Kool-Aide!
You speak truth...
Posting violation...wonder if anyone will call you on it.
I’m not surprised National Gay Radio would have a conniption fit about this!
I don’t know WHO did it, but it’s GREAT and I LOVE it!
A perfect valentine for us who really DO miss that man! :)
It sure it .. and apparently there’s another in Louisiana .. ;)
Done by local business people in Wyoming, MN, who
feel the O govt is not listening to them.
Is that ever an understatement ?? LOL
You begin to wonder why folks even bother to come here, when you see them defend the likes of Bush. You might just as well hit yourself in the face with a shovel, if you’re delusional enough to back that guy any longer.
If you’ve been the leader of this nation, and had the bully pulpit for eight years, and people still don’t know why not to vote for a man like Obama when you leave, you’ve done something wrong.
Bush failed this nation.
Thank you.
I’d go a little easier on W.
People joined in to vote for Obama, not because they believed in him, but because he was black, and everybody wanted a little bit of history.
Whites especially voted for him, and independents, and mostly to get a black man in the WH, despite his qualifications.
Remember, he won his primary too. Clinton, of the evils, was clearly the best of them. I begged Democrats to vote for Hillary, because as bad as she was, Obama makes her look like Zell Miller.
I have D family members, all white, all professional, who kept the newspapers from the day he was elected.
Some had them framed to commemorate the event. “Yes we did!”
Make no mistake, White Guilt elected Barak Obama, nothing more. Now we get to reap the benefit of electing the next American Idol.
I don’t dismiss your argument completely, but let’s remember that Bush barely squeaked out a win over the likes of Al Gore and John Kerry. Then along came John McCain, another even worse ditz.
Somehow to Bush and McCain, Conservatism became a dirty four letter word.
Look, don’t take my word for it. The party leaders run from us like scalded dogs.
I didn’t coin the term, the Reagan Era is over.
James Carville and the left declared war on Conservatism in the late 1990s. And so far all we’ve declared in return is bipartisanship.
IMO, Bush was always the N/E country clubber. Luckily he listened to his advisers as it relates to 09/11, but beyond that the guy was our Jimmy Carter.
I’m not saying Bush didn’t mean well, but the guy was disconnected from bedrock Conservatism.
If people think history is going to be kind to this guy, they’ve been asleep for about seven years and haven’t woken up yet.
Good one. Well, I certainly have had more than enough of his highness Obamagogue, but no, I don’t miss the mixed bag that was Bush.
Shame on Michelle.
yesSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
All good points, all valid, correct, and well taken.
I’m not even going to add a ‘but’ to it.
The conclusion I’ve come to is that we have arrived at the point, where the parties have been identified as part of the same organization - the APPROPRIATORS.
It’s a business, not a system of government. This lack of partisanship is in many ways, all for show. R’s and D’s hate each other, but not enough to do much about earmark reform, ethics, Wall St - DC cabalism, etc.
The Tea Party movement is an indictment of that system. It’s not a cult of personality, and Palin recognizes this and is urging that it NOT BE ABOUT HER. Brown ran his campaign in a very similar way. “It’s the people’s seat.”
Gergen won him that election by throwing him that pitch, and Brown knocking that out of the state. Gergen is emblematic of this - SO MUCH a part of that problem.
I used to feel like I was committing a crime thinking that it would be great if they nuked DC during the State of the Union. All the fiefdoms would cease, all the markers would go uncashed. We’d have to start over, and we’d likely start from the ORIGINAL Constitution and Declaration.
I just saw a poll that showed that 63% believe all incumbents should be gone. That’s unprecedented, and I’d like to believe it might not take a nuke to reset the system. I will say that if elections won’t do it, then something else is going to have to, and I think that’s where people are at this point.
Conservatism died when Reagan left office. Hate to invoke Reagan again, but he’s the last guy in power that recognized that GOVERNMENT is, and always has been, the problem. Government is the quintesential ‘necessary evil’, with the emphasis on evil. Franklin recognized that once the populace understood that they could vote themselves every largess, the system of government would no longer work.
Now we have government, and of all things, a series of unions built to protect it from any attempt at reforming it. They have their own civil army, as incredible as that sounds.
So, I just want to be clear that while your observations are spot on, I want the blame for how we got Obama to go to the right people. The ‘blame’ goes to guilty white people who’ve been race hustled into voting for one of the most incompetent frauds ever to hold so powerful an office in the history of the world.
Too young to have marched in Selma in the 60’s with Dr. King, aging hippies, and hippie-wannabes driving volvos wanted the expiation of being able to claim they helped elect the first black President.
“I was there . . .” as it were.
