The latest: spotted in Iowa
A new billboard critical of Barack Obama’s stumbling first year in office indicates a growing trend in using venues traditionally used for commercial marketing to display political zeitgeist.
The latest, located on 3rd Avenue in downtown Cedar Radids, Iowa, asks, “How’s that ‘Hope and Change’ Working Out for You?,” a line first used by Sarah Palin during her keynote speech to the Tea Party convention.
This follows a Minnesota billboard of former US President George W. Bush asking, “Miss Me Yet?,” and a Wisconsin sign calling for the impeachment of Barack Obama.
World Net Daily started trend last year
The trend was started by conservative website WND.com, which purchased space on billboards across America to bring attention to Barack Obama’s possible ineligibility to hold office based on his “natural born” status.
Several months after the WND boards popped up, a series of billboards pushing red-hot, election-issue buttons popped up all over Seattle, Washington. One read, “When you cast your vote remember September 11, 2001.”

A new one recently went up on the corner of Third Avenue and Virginia Street that says, “Patriotism is not a Right…. It’s a Privilege.” The signs appear to be sponsored by a “Concerned Citizens for a Better America,” yet angry liberals have not been able to find any more information about the group.
The billboards have stirred sharp reaction divided along partisan lines. Republicans and conservatives are thrilled at the public mocking of Obama, while Democrats and progressives have gone on a witch hunt to find out who is putting them up.

This must be a double whammy for the leftist losers – not only criticism towards their Obamessiah, but coined by Sarah Palin.
As usual, they cannot take that which they are so eager to dish out.
Ask the now captured Taliban leader what CHANGE means. We finally have a foreign policy focused on the right region of the world and the adequate corporation of our allies.
Ask those 1.6 million people who now have jobs because of the stimulus how they feel about the change Obama brought after the SECOND Bush recession.
After years of inept governance by the GOP America welcomes the change Obama has brought to us. He brought us back from the brink of financial collapse and has stabilized our economy. We have grown for two consecutive quarters after a deep recession that started in 2007. It's clear that only conservative ostriches who bury their collective heads in the sand can't see all the meaningful change Obama has brought in spite of the GOP obstructionism.

Johann, good observation, the left can never take what they dish out. They respond with character assassination and personal attacks, because the facts are not on their side.
Good billboard. Put one up, while it is still legal. I am sure there will be an executive order soon outlawing all criticism of the FO.
These billboards are pure brilliance.
Anti-elitist, speaks to the general Constitutionalists sentiments, cloaked and frustrates the opposition. Have them chase the ghosts!
You're all a bunch of racists!!
Well, I’d say things are looking good for the billboard industry…
Unmanageable debt is not equal to "meaningful change"
And yet, the deranged Left-Wing moonbats are still in love with this America-hating Marxist.
Oh no, another billboard!
Obama will use his power to declare martial law and shut down the internet so no one else can see it!
Philoctetes,
Where do you see any reference to race?

I am sure Obama is not a “socialist” He would poison our own waters, let that oil spill in our Gulf, for 20 billion dollars. Only a “capitalist” would do something like that.
On his birth certificates, it seems there may be more than a few of those, and many aka’s
The USCA for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia, certainly did read the US Constitution, but they dismiss the actions of the Federal Election Commission and anyway.
How can you just DISMISS, the Constitution of the United States?
How can you let that oil spill, to poison our own people, for generations to come….
What ever Obama is, I am sure he is NOT a socialist
