Someone, Somewhere Misses Dubya -- a Lot
It's only been a year since a helicopter flew him out of the capital right after the inauguration of President Barack Obama. But some Americans will be pleased to know that George W. Bush is out there, watching over them after all. From a billboard, high above Interstate Highway 35 near Wyoming, Minn., to be exact. And he wants to know if you miss him.

Someone has placed a giant photo of the former president on a billboard with the question, "Miss Me Yet?"

Until now, the billboard was thought to be a hoax, a clever doctoring of an image perhaps, meant to whip up anti-Obama sentiments in the blogosphere. But by Monday, it was clear: No one seems to know who put it there or why, but the "Miss Me Yet?" billboard is real.

1. One assumes the idiot paid for it himself
I can't imagine anyone else would think it worth the trouble and expense.

4. People are crazy.
(Some) people will abuse their families.

(Some) people will lie, cheat, steal.

(Some) people will say their kid is in a homemade balloon, floating across the landscape (when he isn't) and think they'll get away with it.

(Some) Democrats think they can make smart remarks and get away with it like the Republicans do.

(Some) people have sex with farm animals.

(Some) people will eat dog poop.

(Some) people will vote for a lying, hypocritical, corrupt, nit wit like Sarah Palin.

and

(Some) people think George Bush did great things and miss him.

(Some) people are bigots.

(Some) people are just crazy, and there's no logic to anything they do or say.

7. It is a message to the right wing whiney-ass critics of President Obama
"Do you think America wants more of your rotten government?"

9. I see the article was filed under Weird News - you betcha.
I imagine that POS propaganda goes over well with anyone who lost a family member in Iraq.

10. Or not...
Judging by the ridiculous photo of him on the billboard, it seems to me the person is just reminding people who are growing frustrated with President Obama about what came before him.

12. I agree.
People may be unhappy that the president hasn't done everything they want done, but the alternative is going back to the same policies that got us into the mess we are in now. I think the sign will remind anyone with any sense at all that things are much better than they could be if he, or his party, were still in charge!

23. If they're serious about missing him, they shouldn't have used the goofball stalker picture.
They should have looked for a more dignified, presidential photo. Then again, maybe they tried and that was the best they could come up with.
