Obama Joker posters upset residents

Posters depicting President Barack Obama in makeup similar to the Joker from the most recent Batman movie have popped up across Lake County.
A U.S. Post Office in downtown Clermont had a couple of the posters glued to a collection box.
Clermont Postmaster Willie Montgomery said today that the posters were discovered yesterday. Customers complained about the pasted images, he said.
"Everybody that saw those posters found them to be very offensive," Montgomery said. "These are personal attacks on the president. We don't have to necessarily agree with the way they're running the country, but we have to respect the office. That's my position on it."
Montgomery said whoever put up the posters meant for them to stay. He had to scrape off the images, which were stuck on with some kind of adhesive.
"You had to destroy them to get it off," Montgomery said. "They were not intended to be removed. I've never seen anything like that."

So you didn't get flooded with phone calls telling you how there are these awesome posters of the j0ker on some mailboxes?
What's that? You only got calls from screeching hysterical leftists?
That's amazing...

These posters are authentic art-expression.
And they didn't cost $500,000 and espouse a left wing cause like some National Endowment for the Arts pork.

History will show that Obama is a pretend president. And that the joker image is highly accurate.
Obama knows nothing about the AMerican people , he is not a natural born citizen.He has no ability to lead America, he can only bully it, kick it, and manipulate it.
And America soon will be fed up with him.

I stopped respecting the officeholder when that usurper entered occupancy.
I respect the office of the Presidency which is why i DON’T respect Obambi.
Prove to our nation that he is eligible.

We don't have to necessarily agree with the way they're running the country, but we have to respect the office. That's my position on it." Let's see the Top 10 List of names people against Nationalized Health Care have been called by top ranking Democrats including from the White House....
1. Swastika-carrying
2. Astroturf
3. Brown-shirts
4. Nazi
5. Angry mobs
6. Terrorists
7. UnAmerican/Unpatriotic
8. Racists
9. Fishy
10. Birthers
They don't deserve any respect.

“How many crybaby libs are there?”
All of them are crybabies. I was just thinking today, listening to someone on the radio trying to pitch socialized medicine for everyone based on his personal misfortune, they are all crybaby socialists.
I would gladly pay all the stimulus money to buy all the crybaby socialists one-way tickets to Europe, and leave the US to real Americans, the ones who are grown up adults and wish to take responsibility for their own lives and families.

The problem is people would spit on the wrong side...Yeah, and it would have Zero face value.
Although, it could be made negative, so as to reduce the postage, in case your other stamp is too big. That would be rather profoundly appropriate, wouldn't it?
