Billboards against Obama spreading in Atlanta

With midterm elections coming up and anger over the Health Care Bill boiling over, one group is taking their message to the streets. Literally.

Commuters driving on Atlanta highways this morning were greeted by billboards proclaiming "Stop Obama's Socialism" and "America's Coming for You Congress!" alongside a cartoon image of the president's face.

The group behind the signs call themselves Billboards Against Obama, and the message posted on their Web site is unmistakable:

"Do you love freedom? Do you love independence? If the current administration completes the process they are racing to achieve, all of this will be gone! To stop the madness, we must speak out now.

BILLBOARDS AGAINST OBAMA is a practical and effective way to join the battle, be seen, be heard, before it's too late."

Three standard messages can be purchased from the group, with prices ranging from $2,500-$3,500 per month. Examples of the vitriolic slogans on offer include "Now It's Personal! America's Coming for You Congress! Vote Liberals Out in 2010!" and "If You're Not Outraged, You're Not Paying Attention."

Has a president of the United States ever stirred up this much grass roots anxiety, anger and resentment? And in less than 14 months!
