| Outrage over Outhouse Labeled 'Obama's Presidential Library' |
| 2013-09-05 |
| On a lighter side.... Pic at link. TUCUMCARI, N.M. - Most Presidential libraries are constructed after the President completes his term. However, according to KOAT-ABC, a New Mexico man has determined the location for President Obama's library and has marked it with a sign that is sparking controversy in one small town. If I recall correctly, somebody did the same with G.W. Bush. I think most people's reaction was "well, that's pretty stupid." Sophomoric remains sophomoric, regardless of who does it. The sign rests on top of an outhouse. It reads: Obama's Presidential Library. Some in town view the sign as bad taste while others are supportive. Personally I think the sign belongs above the remains of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi myself - or at least the 'Hillary Secretary of State Library' sign. But that is my opinion. One man told a local reporter that folks are treating it as a tourist destination and that it is frequently photographed. Now all he needs is a life-sized Obama placecard to stand outside it. The man responsible for the sign would not reveal his name nor would he give any information as to his motivation but did say the following: "It's like watching TV. If you don't like what the hell you're watching, turn the channel. Sadly I'm sure the NSA and IRS are fully aware who the poor magnificent bastard is... I'm not even certain he even deserves that level of respect, but that's my opinion." I think the outhouse deserves a little more respect myself. At least it serves a useful function. He added "...and fortunately, that's one thing they haven't taken away from us ... is our right to our opinion," For now... |

| #13 Sophomoric remains sophomoric, regardless of who does it. Yes, but can the symbolism really be sophomoric if it represents a fundamental underlying truth? |

| #6 It is outrageous. A three-holer would be more appropriate (To accommodate Zero, McCain and Boehner).... |

| #5 Should add a little accent with a red line across the outhouse entrance. |

| #3 Now all he needs is a life-sized Obama place card to stand outside it. I think I know of an out of work rodeo clown who could stand in as greeter. |

| #2 The old gentleman in Tucumcari brings us hope. "Go up and down the streets....., look around and consider, search through her squares. If you can find but one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth, I will forgive this city. |
