Do you miss George W Bush Billboard goes up in Minnesota! How dumb are people???
How can these idiots not realize what Bush left Obama?? Wow, this country has some dumb people in it!




MINNEAPOLIS - Former president George W. Bush appears on a Minnesota billboard funded by people who apparently aren’t happy with the way things are going in Washington.

Beverly Master, office manager of Schubert and Hoey Outdoor Advertising in Minneapolis, said the message was purchased by a group of small-business owners and people from the Twin Cities area who want to remain anonymous.

Master said the billboard overlooking Interstate 35 in Wyoming, Minn., is scheduled to stay up at least until the end of the month. She said her company, which owns the billboard, has not done any others like it.

Wyoming’s mayor, Sheldon Anderson, called the billboard “rather clever’’ but said he does not know who is behind it.

3. Hilarious isn't it? The fools can't see how counter productive it is
They're doing what the administration has failed to do- remind everyone at every opportunity who and whose policies are responsible for this mess.

11. That's the general consensus up here in East Central MN
not far from the city of Wyoming.

If this is the work of Bush backers, they did a piss-poor job of picking a photo!

8. "who want to remain anonymous"...
That's all that needs to be said.

It's like Republicans saying they are "Independents" because they are too embarrassed to call themselves Republicans.

9. A more rational, impartial view would be alarm
that the country has reached a level of political balkanization where such billboards appear at all.

I have never seen or heard of one like this in my own memory of 15 years of following political news on the net.

not of ghwbush after clinton won. Not of dole, not of gore, not of kerry.

A Country with this level of political division 1 year into a new administration, combined with the crazy federal deficit, the Fed monetizing huge amounts of debt, etc., is a really bad combination.

Anyone take a look at the results and bidder profiles of the last 30-year auction?

13. I am no longer anywhere near
young and I have never seen the country this starkly divided, and I include the very polarized Vietnam Era which I lived through.

12. You know, I think this billboard was meant to be ironic.
I don't think "Miss Me Yet" implies literally missing Bush... I think it might be a means to remind us of the absolute mess we had before Obama stepped into office.

14. How dumb? Ask the people
who continue to elect horrors like Bachmann. Ask the Palinites. Ask the Teabaggers. Ask the secessionists. Ask the loyal Fox and Limbaugh audiences. Sadly, there are plenty of frighteningly dumb people.

15. If that's the picture, that's great. Because he looks as crooked as he always has been.
Edited on Sun Feb-14-10 03:38 AM by Overseas
Looks like he's doing his trademark snicker. Seeing that billboard my gut reply would be-- Hell No.

Miss me torturing everybody?

Miss me starting wars of choice with weapons of mass deception?

Miss me defunding public services and ignoring our crumbling infrastructure to fund my privatized wars?

Miss me and my charming cohort Dick the Torturer?

Miss me subsidizing Hummer purchases?

Miss me pushing right wing judicial activists onto the Supreme Court?

Miss me embarrassing my citizenry every time I make a speech?

Miss me ignoring the August 2001 PDB and dismissing direct warnings about Bin Laden?

Miss me never catching Bin Laden for seven years?

Edited to add-- Miss me cutting taxes for the super rich during a so called time of war?

Miss me color coding terror alerts to make elections more exciting?

etc etc

23. I couldnt believe that Bush supporters put this up
I really thought it was an anti-Bush billboard, with GWB looking like a clown on it. My answer to the question is a resounding NO. Even though I dont agree with President Obama on some things. I will never miss that idiot.

24. Luckily they got a dim-wit picture of Bush to put on the billboard
Most people will think it's satire.

anonymously? Not cleaver, just ignorant.
