So a local OFA guy was driving by our house and noticed that we have lots of Dem signs but we didn't have an Obama sign (ours hadn't arrived in the mail yet). He rang the doorbell and asked if we want one or two.

SURE!

He said he'd be back the next day with two of them. We live on a corner and get a lot of traffic - so one for each side of our property.

Sounds good to me.




This is what I saw when I came home:











They are frickin' HUGE!


Yeah, I know, I need to do some yard work. Gimme a break. I've been on the road for most of the last three weeks.

And yeah, I've been a critic of the President and a thorn in the side of a few DUers (I got banned from the BO group after just two posts ). But that doesn't mean I'm going to let him lose. I'll be at the local office this weekend working the phone bank and/or doing some door knocking again.




So, suck it RW neighbors! Our signs are bigger than yours and our guy is gonna kick your guy's ass!





Edited to add. Our normal sized sign showed up in the mail a day later. We gave it to my parents.

1. Not sure what caused me to rec this more

The two beautiful and prominent signs?

Or dancing Yoda!?!

[Arugula Latte]

2. Can't quite see 'em ... from outer space!

[progressoid]

5. I don't think our neighbors are too happy about it.

Oh well.

[nenagh]

3. Lovely to see your photos of those great signs..

Thank you...

[libdem4life]

4. As they say in the South ... A Sight for Sore Eyes. They are BIG !!

[Baitball Blogger]

6. Now that's a sign.

[liberal N proud]

7. I live on a major street into a residential area

I told the campaign they could put one up that size.
They have not shown up with one, doubt they will, your campaign team looks like they are on top of it.

[progressoid]

12. This new for us.

In the past we just did our own thing. I think we just happened to get noticed this time.

[question everything]

8. Only two more weeks

the yard can wait..

[progressoid]

10. True.

And so can the kids. http://www.democraticunderground.com/101770893

16. This is a great video. You should post it on its on. Al Franken for E.Warren. n/t

23. DUer Underpants beat me to it.

9. Mine is Up Too in Iowa!

Great Sign, wow! In Iowa, we are lucky to be to mail in our vote which I did 3 weeks ago for Obama.

[progressoid]

15. Excellent!

My vote is in the mail too!

[Shankapotomus]

11. It looks like a drive-in movie screen.

That's big.

[BumRushDaShow]

13. Wow. Didn't know they had the giganto-signs!

[wildeyed]

14. No fair! Yours is bigger than mine!

[Segami]

17. Beautiful!!

[Left Brain]

18. A thing of beauty!

Color me jealous.

[George II]

19. Keep your eye on them, I hear lots of Obama signs are "mysteriously" disappearing

[progressoid]

24. We "lost" a couple small ones already.

Kind of an ugly year. People are tense.

[DollarBillHines]

36. Habanero suspension

Put some habanero peppers and some cooking oil in a food processor and turn it into paste. Dilute the paste with water and brush it around the edges of your signs.

That crap will light you up, so handle with kitchen gloves.

[SeattleVet]

48. Or go to the local garden/hardware store and get 'Tanglefoot' and ...

put it around the edges of the signs where someone is likely to grab them. It's a pine-tar compound that gets all over your hands and will not come out of clothing. You may lose one more sign, but the vandalism will stop pretty quickly. It worked wonders for a friend who was losing kitschy lawn ornaments to local teens (plastic pink flamingoes), and others have used it with great success on their political signs.

[snooper2]

20. You should be able to get the post holes dug, posts in and sign up another six feet higher

by end of day Saturday right ?

[progressoid]

22. Yep! My wife wants me to put a light on one of them too!

So people can see it at night. The other is lit by the streetlight.

If I get it done, I'll post pics.

[LP2K12]

21. Wish I could get some here in Florida...

I was able to easily get some in 2008. This year I've had two orders cancelled and the local office never has any. My neighborhood is full of Romney signs. So, I settle for my Obama stickers and magnets.

[Care Acutely]

25. That sign is YUGE!

Yes - I am jealous

[shireen]

26. awesome souvenirs!

One of the perks of being at a corner that gets decent traffic.
I don't have any signs because my house is close to the dead end of a road, so there's barely any traffic.

[Liberalynn]

27. I want one

[RepublicansRZombies]

28. This to me is the best part...

"And yeah, I've been a critic of the President and a thorn in the side of a few DUers (I got banned from the BO group after just two posts ). But that doesn't mean I'm going to let him lose"


(We may disagree on certain things, just because we are smart enough to think for ourselves here, but when it comes down to it, we are all on the same team)

[Waltons_Mtn]

41. Yeah! What he said! ^^^^^^^

[Rhiannon12866]

29. Great signs!!! I was just thinking I need one!

I wonder if I can still use the ones I have from 2008?

[one_voice]

30. They are awesome!!

But I think Yoda might have them beat by just this much.

[EC]

31. i want one of those. n/t

[StarryNite]

32. Awesome!

[MADem]

33. You know what?

I think your yard is friken beautiful!! Kick/Rec!

[mountain grammy]

34. A beautiful sight.

an RR sign keeps appearing on the town right of way in front of my house and I keep notifying the town to take it down.

[BlueDemKev]

35. My first two yard signs were stolen...

...and then I wised up. I put up a third sign with a sign next to it stating that I would donate $250.00 to the Obama-Biden campaign every time a sign was stolen from my yard. That was ten days ago and my sign hasn't been touched!

[CaliGal]

37. Brilliant!!!

That'll teach em'!! Love it!

[Curmudgeoness]

42. Great idea. Here's another one

that they had a picture of in our local paper: Someone who kept getting their Obama signs stolen put up a huge wooden sign saying "you can steal our Obama signs, but you will never steal our votes for Obama".

[JimDandy]

43. Love that! n/t

[deafskeptic]

45. ha ha ha! N/T

[TahitiNut]

52. I'll be right over to steal your sign.

[BlueDemKev]

54. Oh, you'll be joining the same group of kids who stop by my house every day and stare at the sign?

...contemplating if they should take the "dare" and swipe it?

[TahitiNut]

55. Well ...

... I'm retired and on a small fixed income and can't afford $250. (I've given what I can afford plus some.) The temptation to help Obama-Biden is VERY strong.

[Pakid]

38. Where are mine

I want some that big!!!!!

[CaliGal]

39. Love it!!

I live on a corner...where can I get a couple of those!! LOL
I would love to piss off the few Repubs we have in the neighborhood!

[Tx4obama]

40. If I were you I'd bring them in at night so no one steals them ...

or pitch a tent outside and sleep out there with them - LOL

In 2008 my regular sized Obama sign was stolen within a few hours after I put it in the front yard.

[freshwest]

44. Love it, thanks.

[SunSeeker]

46. K&R

[DCKit]

47. I couldn't count the number of trailers I passed today with "Romney/Ryan" signs....

Y'all wouldn't be living in a trailer with a good twelve years of Dem rule, assholes.

[skeewee08]

49. Love it!!! I can see it from Oklahoma....n/t

[oh1kelley]

50. Signs

Looks to me like all the yard work that was needed has been done!

[sullivanRon]

51. Forty Seven Percent Blues

I hope you like it.

[Bake]

53. I'm envious!

I'd gladly put one in my yard!! But I can't donate to the campaign right now ...
