Well apparently I wasn’t the only one who was not impressed by the billboard comparing Obama to Hitler. The thing has made headlines all over the world!

What is going on in this country that everything has to be shocking to get our attention? What makes me say this? I’ll tell you. Right now there are 2 billboards paid for by the Tea Party that I see every day on my drive to work. The first one, which has been up for a while now, says in… Read more »
