Someone has a real sense of humor and a wallet to match. This billboard of Bush mysteriously went up in Wyoming, Minnesota along I-35 and no one seems to know who paid for it.
I would not be surprised if a local Tea Party sponsored the ad. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if this billboard started cropping up everywhere like the Obama Socialist poster?
NPR speculates about the message of the billboard:
At first glance, it would seem to be from some person or group who isn’t thrilled by President Barack Obama’s performance so far — unless it’s a more ironic message from those who didn’t think too much of Bush and want to remind voters about him.
I don’t think this billboard has anything to do with an ironic message. It seems more like it is asking, “How’s that Hopey Changey stuff out working out for ya”? Who do you think paid for the billboard?
Update on the great billboard mystery.
Mary Teske, the general manager of Schubert & Hoey Outdoor Advertising reports, “The Bush Miss Me Yet? billboard was paid for by a group of small business owners who feel like Washington is against them. They wish to remain anonymous. They thought it was a fun way of getting out their message.”
Various people have stepped forward around the country to claim credit — the latest was a gentleman in upstate New York from what I can tell in his e-mail. But, it’s all local, folks.
