'Miss Me Yet?' Billboard With Photo Of Bush Is Real

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?"

1. Apparently local small business owners

"It was put up by a group of small business owners -- who want to stay anonymous --because they felt Washington wasn't listening," said Mary McNamara, a spokeswoman for the company that owns the billboard. "They felt like it was a good way to get their message out."

The level of irrational Obama hatred seems to be rising lately.

2. And these dingbats thought Washington was listening when Bush was in office?

:shrug: :banghead:

3. If you paid money to defend Bush, wouldn't you want to remain anonymous too?

This is about as effective a way to "get your message out" as tagging a bridge with a can of spraypaint--and shows as much balls.

Republicans: So ashamed of their own message they won't even sign their name to it.

7. That is a good one for a billboard!

4. You know what's funny?

I actually thought DEMOCRATS put this board up as a reminder of who the hell got us into this colossal mess!

5. Speaking of Billboards...

6. Now I'd like to see those around!

"Get-a-Life Minnesota" - LOL

8. Good one! I also suspect it was Chamber of Commerce that paid for the signs

perhaps without most of their members knowing it. Someone should find out who printed them.

9. Those are all great

but I especially like the "tax cuts weaken the infrastructure" one.

12. Michele Bachmann: "Miss Me Yet?" Billboard is "Innovative" Political Message

http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2010/02/19/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry6223843.shtml

The curious "Miss Me Yet?" billboard, featuring a picture of former President George W. Bush, that appeared last month on the side of a highway in Minnesota is a lot more than a good joke, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said today at the Conservative Political Action Committee.

Bachmann said the people who put up the billboard, who she said are her constituents, were "very creative, very innovative," and "got their dollars' worth out of this billboard."

She said the billboard was an example of how conservatives can "use your creativity, use your innovation… to take back Washington... one person at a time."

"These elections won't even be close if we take one person and make it our priority to utilize what we know is true," Bachmann said.

Conservatives are "in the middle of a political bull market," Bachmann added.

13. This should be cross-posted in General Discussion n/t

14. I thought that billboard was in Chisago County!

That would be the Fighting Eighth District. Which is NOT Bachmann's. Unless the people who put it up live in her district and put it up in the Eighth on purpose; I guess that's plausible.
