course they have little basis in reality. if they complain about the bad roads. .. Republicans are refusing to let others built it. all these shovel ready projects being held up.. This is a poorly written headline.. just a freaking sign ho hum.

also refuse to fund). We "built" this is not a hard thing to write for fuck's sake.

People who have little education, knowledge, awareness, etc. are threatened by someone who exhibits those qualities. I suspect those that penned this sign make < 40K a year, may or may not have a high school diploma, see little future for themselves. While they should be embracing Obama as someone who wants to provide them with job retraining and job placement, they buy into the GOP lies.

I have never understood the 99% ever voting Republican. Republicans only care about the 1%. But some people are clueless.

It was built by the military, which is the United States Government. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUX

There's a reason Iowa is called a "flyover state." If the federal government hadn't built it, it very likely wouldn't have been built at all.

Did ABC mention that at all in their article? HELL NO! Neither did they tell the truth about the damn "You didn't build that" comment taken out context! It really pisses me off how the press operates!!

they fail to mention the 10,000 people that showed up in Urbandale/Des Moines today.

Maybe that is why they are bitter.

Here's some Sioux City Peeps who aren't brainwashed..

one can prove he isn't. Therefore it's true.

One amateur sign represents all Iowans? Oh please.

bullshit! These Are Iowans, Too!

Considering SUX is also a military airport - a public airport at that.

Morons.

Obama was right again and the baggers were wrong again...

Sign makers... Learn to read.

Thanks for clearing that up.

As I understand it (OK, just googled it) it was originally a military airbase.

But they certainly didn't build the ROADS that Obama was actually talking about in that speech that they so pitifully refuse to understand.

was BORN IN THE USA~

if they are running an airport without any federal hands on board ......no TSA either hhmmm I see why they dont need rich people's fair tax share
airport is run rogue I guess

I gotta give the MSM props for at least trying to set the record straight on that huge lie, and the welfare lie, and the auto plant lie, and the rest. It's been refreshing to see some actual balanced reporting this time around.

But.. they REALLY needed to mention the 10k people that showed up to the see the President.

Really hoping that someone gets fired over that sign. If that's on airport property, they do not own that building... they are leasing it, and I don't think it will go over well. I mean nice way to showcase your town, assholes.

They built it! How dare you impugn their individualism!

.They give Rmoney a pass on all his gaffs...
So this doesn't surprise me for ABC to cover this and someone at ABC is probably giving themselves praise for their life's greatest accomplisment..

So it has been built from tax payers and proof they did not build the airport. I am beginning to think I could never be a repub, I'm not smart but not dumb enough to belong to their party. If you are smart then you will never believe their dumb lies.

We know who's campaign they back.

because if its vandalism, they just cost someone money.

i would hope if it was the people at the airport, they could have taken a lil more time and been a lil more creative

Ok...so many points to be made. This story--and it's misleading headline--are grossly unfair to Obama.

First, Sioux City, Iowa is located in the most arch-conservative part of Iowa. The city is in the NW corner of the state and is is known for its vicious tea-party mentality. The crazy Congressman Steve King represents this part of Iowa. It is a pocket that certainly does not represent the entire state of Iowa.

Please remember that gay marriage is legal here in Iowa. Also, Iowa was the first state to vote in the Democratic primary--and in '08 Barack Obama won every single county in Iowa, beating favorites Hillary Clinton and John Edwards. So Iowa is pretty progressive, as a whole. Suggesting that one dign from one tea partier is a message from a state gets my vote for gross overstatement of the campaign season.

Also, I was at President Obama's speech today in Urbandale, Iowa. Ten thousand Iowans showed up! Ten thousand very enthusiastic, happy Iowans stood in the sun for six hours to see the President.

I'd say that this successful event in Urbandale is more of a "message" than some guy playing smart ass with a Sharpie marker, wouldn't you?

Also, I'd like to point out how incredible it is that President Obama went to Sioux City. Most politicians stick to areas that are brimming with their supporters. Obama going to Sioux City is like Romney going to San Francisco. I think it shows incredible character and integrity that the President went to a tea-party stronghold and that he showed up at a local pizza joint and was willing to have an honest conversatknowing Steve King territory!

So let's talk about where Mitt Romney has been in Iowa lately, shall we? Whereas Obama speaks at rallies in front if 10,000 people--Romney hides from "We the People." Romney's last Iowa event was a closed-door, private affair at the Glen Oaks Country Club in Des Moines--the most exclusive, private country club in the state of Iowa. Some paid upward of $5,000 to attend this event which was closed to the public. No television cameras were allowed.

So yes, maybe some Glenn Beck fan-boy made a sign and put it on a roof--but at least President Obama has the guts and the courage to get out there and reach out to all citizens and honestly fight for their votes. Even though Obama know that Sioux City is far-right territory, he campaigns there anyway. Meanwhile, Romney hides behind ice sculptures at the country club!

This article is unfair. The headline is inaccurate; and this reporter doesn't know a damn thing about the real message that Iowans are sending President Obama. Ten thousand people showing up for a rally is a clear message that some reporter just didn't want to see!

About public infrastructure being the underpinning of commerce. Without this public airport, financed by taxpayers, there would be no need for an airplane hanger -- whether it is on airport property or on adjacent private land.

Please, tell these idiots they are idiots.. Who built this airport. Originally, the US Army in WWII . Now it is owned by the city of Sux.. Should this airport be falling apart . Blame it on the Gobbers.. They are doing all in their power to end the Aviation Trust fund, used to modernize and make more safe our airports. You want the Gobbers in power. Remember that when you have longer lines at the airports. And or find out needed renovations needed to make aviation more safe are postponed

I mean come on. Welcome to SUX. We did build this.



How many people will know when they see that image what SUX is they're referencing?

There's so much potential there.

the people at the convention threw peanuts at a black anchor woman and said, "this is how we feed animals". Can you believe it? What a sick individual. I would love to know who the hell gave him the idea he was better than anyone else because he was born with light skin. What a dipshit. He needs to take a biology class.

We did build this indeed.
