    While I've lost faith in Obama, I think this might be going a bit far...

    It is the kind of thing political hacks do when they cant argue on the facts...

    It does nothing to fix the problems with the political system... it is one of the big problems as it is.

    Would rather vote for him than the republican names being bantered about.

    While in poor taste, nothing worse than some of the crap that was put up about Bush.

    ^^ yeah, but those things were never put onto one single billboard. xD

    Either way, if you're going to attack Obama, go after his inability to unite democrats, bring attention to some failed promises or something. Calling someone a gay mexican terror gangster is too easy.

    but the difference is, when we attack bush for lieing america's way into war in iraq, thereby pulling us from fighting the terrorist in afganastan, the lies are well documented.

    the people who are creating these billboards are not mainstream republicans, or even main stream americans. They are fringers with a penchant for conspiracy theory, and a aversion of fact. This no doubt came from some birther/pro-militia/anti-middle class fringe group.

    They are beyond hope...

    Yes, they are beyond hope...much like moveon.org.

    The fact that this was obviously put up by those on the fringe is certainly one that I would agree with.

    I also agree that nonsense like this does nothing to advance the cause of anyone...all it does is feed the public's already dismal opinion of politics....even if it is about...you know...him.

    This is racist, nativist, xenophobic, homophobic and islamaphobic.
    Wow, did they really manage all of that in one poster?
    Maybe they should of worked a littler harder, spiced it up with a little transphobia, a pinch of sexism and to finish it off a spoonful of classism.
    Granted this was probably put up by an individual on the fringe. But, I could see quite a few people in my own life agreeing with some if not most of the sentiments in this billboard. Not to put all the blame on them, we are all prejudiced in our thinking.
