Obama trying to run away from his past: Sign Depicting Life-Size Obama Wearing a Turban Draws Criticism
NEW GLOUCESTER, Maine — A political sign on a front lawn depicting a life-size John McCain as a naval aviator and 
Barack Obama wearing a turban is drawing criticism.
Robert Horr of New Gloucester said the 8-by-12 sign that’s visible from Route 100 was intended to provoke debate about the candidates’ qualifications to serve as commander in chief. The sign features Obama’s full name, Barack Hussein Obama, and the words, “Never served in the military.”
Some see it as a smear aimed at mischaracterizing the Democratic candidate as un-American.
McCain’s New England spokesman, Jeff Grappone, said the sign “is totally inconsistent with John McCain’s long-standing commitment to substantive, productive political dialogue.”
Horr, however, is unrepentant.
“It’s staying up,” he said Thursday.
Horr said he didn’t see why the image of Obama from a trip to Somalia when he wore a turban and traditional clothing would create such a ruckus.
America is made up of people from all cultures, and the image of Obama probably wouldn’t raise anyone’s ire elsewhere around the globe, Horr said. “Why is it here (in America) that people are getting their panties in a twist?” he said.
There’s a steady stream of motorists honking their horns in approval or shouting insults signaling disapproval. The outcry shows that people are dissatisfied with both candidates, said Horr, a registered independent who declined to reveal which candidate he supports.
Many people have stopped by for a chat. Horr said they’re welcome to join him at his table for a discussion.

I don.t think enough has been told on the networks aboutObama’s past connections with Ayewrs, Wright, Rezko father Flager and all the other Chicago mobsters of the
past.a
nd his deallings with and for Acorn., group
Did Michelle Obama sAY “QUOTE, fOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE,i’M PROUD OF MY COUNTRY” IN HER APPERANCE ON THECAMPAIGN TRAIL?
i’M IN A BIG ARGUEMENT.
I believe in America and the diversity culture
But I also stand for to have a president to this country of freedom that has shown love unconditionally as to the point to put his life in risk fighting for this country.
Obama does not love America he did not even said the Pledge of Allegiance. Even worse he has developed friendship with Terrorists as Bill Mayer and ACOR organization who are enemies of this country and only want to destroy it. They were very clear in his statement “we will destroy this country from within”.
The sign is clear in showing that each candidate will stand for their own culture and belief.
It’s the truth. John McCain served in the military. And Barack Obama dressed up as one of the three wisemen.
There’s no reason that dude should have to take down that sign, but there’s also no reason those other dudes should have to stop cursing at him.
If you get free speech, so does every asshole that drives down your street.
