Who on earth paid for the Impeach Obama billboard on 41?
It's just north of Oshkosh, right side, northbound.

Now I have to look at it every single day. As if that corridor wasn't ugly enough already.

1. Paid for by Tom Wroblewski, an attorney in Menasha
...
Jones Sign Company said the billboard went up on Thursday.
So, who paid for it?

FOX 11 went looking and it turns out it wasn’t a group of small business owners. It was Tom Wroblewski, an attorney in Menasha.

When we stopped at his office, he told us he isn’t ready to talk about it. Democrats, on the other hand, are ready to talk. “I don’t know what’s impeachable about having a bad opinion about the President. I know a lot of people that would have impeached the last one,” said Jef Hall, the chairman of the Winnebago County Democratic Party.

Hall argues President Obama’s economic policies are helping small businesses. “I can point to, here in Winnebago County, several businesses that are receiving contracts because of the stimulus plan,” said Hall.

Both sides say the sign does grab your attention; they just disagree on whether it serves any purpose. Those who want to take a look will have some time. The billboard will be up for at least six months, at a cost of $1,000 a month.

5. Wroblewski claims to be only representing an anonyomous client(s)

In other words, a bunch of chickenshit businessmen that won't take ownership of their irresponsible behavior. I'd sure like to know the names so I could avoid doing business with them.

The sign went up Thursday and will remain up for at least six months, at a cost of $1,000 a month.


So, the geniuses involved in this stunt apparently have $6,000 to just throw away on anonymous, non-business-related advertising expenses ... and yet it's the President's fault their small business is failing?

4. The billboard earned the bronze for worst person in the world
on Countdown tonight. Keith made some pithy remarks about the people behind it.
