The Cruelest Anti-Obama Billboard Ever Erected

[High Praise! to A Cop’s Watch]

I’ve seen the pictures of the Bush “Miss Me Yet?” billboard before.

I thought it was just funny. You know… because it’s true. Bush’s economy didn’t set the world on fire, but compared to Obama’s disaster, it looked pretty good.

Now there’s this, and it’s just plain mean:

Damn… that one’s gonna leave a mark.

Because at this point, I almost do.

[According to ACW, this is real, not photoshopped, but I can’t confirm it. Anyone around Diboll, Texas, who’s seen this? Address is 1513 N Temple Dr.]

UPDATE: From the comments, Mik [High Praise!] says he’s personally seen this billboard.

“Obama: some people in DC ‘talk about me like a dog.’ Maybe it’s because he keeps treating this country like a fire hydrant.”
