A 78-year-old Carroll woman says she's so tired of seeing President Barack Obama on the airwaves that she's selling her television sets - two of them.
Deloris Nissen, a retired nurses' aide and former Kmart employee who was raised on a farm near Audubon, placed a classified advertisement with The Daily Times Herald for Friday's paper.
In the $5.50 ad, Nissen tells readers she has two television sets for sale.
The reason: "Obama on every channel and station."
In an interview Nissen said she is serious about selling two TVs - and genuine about her disgust with what she believes to be an overexposed president.
"I just got tired of watching him on every channel," Nissen said. "I thought, my gosh, does he ever stay at the White House?"
Nissen, who voted for U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the 2008 presidential election, said she could live with seeing Obama come on television to make serious announcements. But he seems to be on all the time, Nissen said.
When the president does appear on a channel she happens to be watching, Nissen said, she quickly turns.
"I have the remote real handy," Nissen said. "I have the batteries. I'm ready for him."

What’s this sweet woman to do, when we start seeing posters of Dear Leader on every corner?
She should learn how to block all news stations like I did. When I channel surf, there’s no chance of me accidently viewing Zero on any news network. Works like a charm...
Precious. Too bad she's a racist.
Damn racist! /s
Right. So all you get are the subliminals and not-so-subliminals in the “entertainment” category.

Old doll right after my own heart!
‘Right. So all you get are the subliminals and not-so-subliminals in the “entertainment” category.’
Not really. I watch sports and Discovery/Nat. Geo kind of stuff. When Nobie appears at some sporting event or is covered on ESPN, THEN I reach for the remote. I can’t block him out 100% because he IS everywhere, but blocking all of the news stations filters about 98% of him. Which is wonderful.
Funny,,, LMAO
