with businessmen proclaiming, "NO, Mr. President- I built my business , not you" with big, bold lettering shouting out their business name. Usually it has a white , angry looking guy with a sullen expression on his face plastered on it. This is in Alabama as we travel to the casino to waste our money and it really pisses me off seeing that type of closed mind thinking.
