Obama Nation Billboard Draws Attention

New Sign Along I-70 Has Motorists Talking

POSTED: 6:43 pm CDT October 1, 2009
UPDATED: 7:03 pm CDT October 1, 2009

BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. -- Drivers on Interstate 70 can barely see the billboard but once they do the message has been gaining attention.

The billboard is located along I-70 between the Adams Dairy Parkway and the Grain Valley exits. The billboard reads, "How do you like your change now? Obama Nation. They are coming for you! The Taxpayer. First and Second Amendments are in jeopardy. Live free or Die." There is also a hammer and sickle on the sign.

People said they might not agree with the sentiment of the sign, but they felt it was a matter of free speech. Others that KCTV5 talked to said it is offensive and should come down.

A pastor who drives by the sign during his daily commute to his church said he lived in England for years and he agreed with the message.

"We lived in a socialist society and I guess what I am seeing in America is that we are pushing to some of those ways now," he said. "Especially the hospitalization. It's taken away some of our freedoms as Americans."

KCTV5 could not reach the owner of the billboard. The mayor of Blue Springs said his office has gotten calls and e-mails about the sign.

I have no problem with them coming after rich guys like me, with a higher income tax rate. We should be paying more in income tax.

You have the distinct right to donate as much as you want, but not to decide how much I choose to give. My church would happily take everything I give, and use it more wosely than the feds.

Artemus · 10-04-2009, 10:42 AM

I hope the sign is removed as proof it's really happening.

AL MOUNT · 10-04-2009, 10:55 AM

I'm amazed ole Heather put the preacher dude on the air.

What he says just confirms what da sign says.....

How much extra did you include in your tax payments last year? Of your own volition, not at the point of a gun? Just curious to know if you walk or just talk.

And then you'd prove that you have not noticed what has happened historically concerning tax cuts.... Your statement seems to contradict your claim of being 'rich', or at least that of being rich because of genuine market and economic knowledge....

Yay! Another pair of Obamites here to teach us the error of our ways and educate us into embracing the glory of King-Emperor Barack I His Great Awesomeness and All-Knowing Teleprompter

I guess they'll be back the next time their mommies let them go out to play
