Wow.. just wow.

[anymouse]

And after he loses, they can change it back to whatever loser name they had before. ;)

[LibLieSlayer]

Was this named after Cheech Marin???

LLS

[tapatio]

The title is misleading.They didn’t change the name.An Obama sign was made to look like a state sign.

[ScreamingFist]

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama supporter and bed and breakfast owner Kelly Emery created a perfect mirror of the green sign people read as they enter the town's limits. Now people unfamiliar with the area may think they are entering the town of Obama, population: 55

Heh. Marxist loony for obama. I wonder how the town of 55 would like hussein for a town name, perhaps a nice masque to go with it?

I live about 15 minutes from this “town”. I can honestly say the stupidest, most clueless people live here in MORON County.
Mostly leftover 60’ relics and young “liberal” dreamers.
These people dwell in an alternate universe, totally void of any common sense or decency.
I hate the cretins I am surrounded by, LOL.

And if by some miracle he wins the presidency, not only would every city in America have a Martin Luther King Blvd. rest assured there’d be an Obama Pkwy. right next to it.

You may now post excerpted AP stories here....

[ASA Vet]

And maybe a new Federal holiday?

[youturn]

Isn’t that where our scummy, traitor Johnny terrorist was from?

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

The new sign was to indicate Obama’s “IQ”. That’s all.

[word_warrior_bob]

The “For Sale” sign would go up in my yard immediately.

[scott says]

That idiot lived in Fairfax and moved to Mill Valley—liberal cesspools. There are plenty more of his types in this County, believe it or not.

Obama’s certainly giving Stalin’s cult of personality a run for his money...

[wrhssaxensemble]

Yes because clearly naming a town after this socialist will help sell homes in this housing slump of ours... /s

[citizencon]

That’s very sweet...and how ‘fatal atrractions’ start.

[pabianice]

Obama, just up the road from Asshole and just west of Weiner...

[CaptRon]

They didn't rename the town. Some leftard who owns a business made a sing that looks like an official place-name sign and hung it out. No real name change.

I can't believe I'm the first one to point this out. Anyone read the article?

Olema is a town where people cling to their bongs and bitter secularism.

Olema used to be our bike adventure drop off/pick up point -it's the town pre-Point Reyes. Olema is cows and pastures. The land and views are awesome. Fantastic trails for hiking and biking.

The population of OLEMA was 245 as of the year 2000.

I guess it really is Obama-ville.

[Wilhelm Tell]

They were probably thinking about naming the place Leningrad, Stalingrad, or Karl Marx Stadt, but that had been tried befors so “Obama” was the next best thing.

Bitter people clinging to their bongs and secularism, LOL!

Mostly leftover 60’ relics and young “liberal” dreamers.

So in other words, Marin hasn't changed since my parents (and I) lived in San Rafael when I was a toddler in the 80s? :)

[mozarky2]

I drove through Olema on my way to Point Reyes last year. My dad lives in Novato.

Some people don't read the article, some people don't read the Thread

It's sometimes quite humorous when you do both.

[CaptRon]

Been here long enough to know that. Ashamed to say I’ve done it myself. Not so much anymore though.

[Trajan88]

Why not change it to Karl Marx instead...?

Marx = B.H.O. after all.

[Alia]

Your dad lives in a beautiful place, Novato, with some of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen. I once lived there.

[Fresh Wind]

It should be noted that Clinton, NJ considered changing its name back in the the nineties. It didn’t happen though.

These moonbats, however, are stupid enough to go through with it.

[Alia]

lol! Wilhelm, the article details a law enforcement type in reaction to the "alteration" of the town sign by merely pointing out the illegality of posting a political sign on property xx days before an election. Nothing about penalties for defacing a public sign (paid for by taxpayer dollars).

Like I said about Olema, bitter people clinging to their .......... ;>

[nclaurel]

CA-—what do we expect of liberals in CA?
